Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at McDiarmid Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between St. Johnstone FC and Hibernian FC.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' St. Johnstone FC have won 244 goals from 251 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' It looks surprising St. Johnstone FC does not make any changes. Christopher Cadden has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 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 Thody Elie Youan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Elias Hoff Melkersen on 29 minutes.
  • 34' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 39' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

  • 49' Graham Carey is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for St. Johnstone FC tonight.
  • 54' St. Johnstone FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

  • 61' A tactical swap from St. Johnstone FC — Stevie May on, Thelonius Bair off on 61 minutes.
  • 66' St. Johnstone FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 66.

  • 71' Ewan Henderson is having his name booked by the referee on 71.
  • 76' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both St. Johnstone FC and Hibernian FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

  • 78' Josh Campbell is replacing Christopher Cadden for the Hibernian FC side.
  • 81' The referee calls foul for Marijan Cabraja. He receives a Yellow card.

  • 89' Cameron MacPherson has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 89.
  • 90' Rocky Bushiri picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
