- 0' KICK OFF: Hamilton Academical FC gets underway.
- 1' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ross Callachan.
- 6' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 11' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 402 games and scored 785 goals.
- 16' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kemar Roofe made 358 appearances and scored 61 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 46' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Filip Helander suffering a number of foals already.
