Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Celtic FC gets underway.
- 5' The travelling Celtic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Jordan Amissah, a Ghana goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' Poland international Kacper Lopata has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Noah Chilvers made 7 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' 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 Nohan Kenneh suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The referee calls foul for Nohan Kenneh. He receives a card.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Ross County FC and Celtic FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' GOAL! Kyogo Furuhashi scores on 40. Assisted by Alistair Johnston
- 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brendan Rodgers might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 50' Liam Scales has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 53' Another substitution for Ross County FC to replace Kacper Lopata by Jack Grieves on 53 minute.
- 58' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Ross County FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 60' GOAL! Jordan White fires home to make it 1-1!
- 65' With 0 assists to his name this season, James Brown is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Celtic FC.
- 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
- 75' Ross County FC currently sit 10 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 80' Auston Trusty is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Ross County FC tonight.
- 81' Kyogo Furuhashi puts Celtic FC on the lead.
- 85' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Alex Valle by Liam Scales on 85 minute.
- 88' A meaty challenge results in booking for Victor Loturi on 88.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for James Brown.
- Game over. The scoreline of 1-4 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
