Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Livingston FC is hosting Celtic FC for another epic battle.
5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Livingston FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
10' A quiet spell here at Tony Macaroni Arena. Celtic FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
13' Poor challenge from Luiyi de Lucas. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
14' Reo Hatate is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the midfielder.
19' Hyun-Gyu Oh, a South Korea , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
22' Alistair Johnston was booked on 22.
26' Celtic FC player sees a card in front of him.
28' It’s a booking for Celtic FC player. Joe Hart gets a card.
30' A tactical swap from Celtic FC — Scott Bain on, James Forrest off on 30 minutes.
35' Livingston FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
48' What composure from Matt O'Riley! The Denmark international strokes it home. 0-2.
53' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

74' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Samson Lawal on 74 minutes.
79' 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 Luiyi de Lucas suffering a number of foals already.
80' Poor challenge from Tom Parkes. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
85' Joel Nouble is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Livingston FC so far.

Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-3.
