Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Celtic FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Dundee FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 8' GOAL! Hyun-jun Yang scores on 8. Assisted by Benjamin Nygren
- 13' Celtic FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 3 matches with its main striker Kelechi Iheanacho scoring 1 goals.
- 18' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Dundee FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kelechi Iheanacho made 344 appearances and scored 49 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 33' Callum McGregor needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 38' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcelo Saracchi, as he is very good at scoring at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 43' 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.
- 48' It looks surprising Dundee FC does not make any changes. Luke McCowan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 53' 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 Benjamin Nygren suffering a number of foals already.
- 57' GOAL! Simon Murray scores on 57.
- 58' Another change for Celtic FC made on 58 minute. Tomas Cvancara leaves to be changed by Kelechi Iheanacho.

- 76' The whistle greets Daizen Maeda as he departs to be replaced by James Forrest.
- 81' The travelling Celtic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
