Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Rugby Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Kilmarnock FC and Celtic FC.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' The referee calls foul for Gary Dicker. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 11' What composure from Ryan Christie! The Scotland international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 16' Over 16 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 21' Kilmarnock FC have won 274 goals from 261 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 24' What composure from Chris Burke! The Scotland international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 29' Kilmarnock FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 34' It looks surprising Kilmarnock FC does not make any changes. Ross Millen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' The referee calls foul for Alan Power. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Neil Lennon will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kilmarnock FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 46' Rory McKenzie makes way for Brandon Haunstrop at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kilmarnock FC.
  • 51' Kilmarnock FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Celtic FC backline.
  • 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 61' France international Odsonne Edouard has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 66' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Jeremie Frimpong by Hatem Abd Elhamed on 66 minute.

  • 80' Jules Ntcham is ready to make an impact after coming on for Scott Brown at the 80 minute mark.
  • 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kilmarnock FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 87' The Celtic FC bench stirs into life. Greg Taylor is withdrawn and Boli Bolingoli gets his opportunity.
