00:00This is Celtics game in hand on Hearts and Rangers and they really need to make the most of it.
00:09Aberdeen finally found Scottish Cup glory at Celtics expense last season but everything since
00:14has been extremely underwhelming. If ever there was a night for Aberdeen to give their fans
00:19something to shout about. This is it.
00:31Let's have a look at tonight's teams. Peter Lieven makes four changes from Hearts.
00:39Dimitar Mitov continues in goal. Alexander Jensen and former Celtic rookie Mitchell
00:46Frame come in at the back. Sivert Nilsson is caught upon in midfield. Lyle Cameron is on loan from
00:54Rangers. Stuart Armstrong starts and faces his former club. Kevin Nisbet has scored five goals in his
01:02last seven games. Graham Shinney, Liam Morrison and Topi Keskinen drop to the bench but Nicky Devlin
01:09is out with a knee injury. Martin O'Neill makes five changes from the old firm.
01:16Still no Kasper Schmeichel so Vuljami Sinisalo shoulders the responsibility again.
01:22Dane Murray was injured in the warm-up so there's a first start for Ben Arthur on loan from Brentford.
01:29Luke McCowan and Rayo Hatate are in from the off. Sebastian Tunechti and Thomas Svanchara also start and
01:38it's Yang's 100th game for Celtic. Dyson Mider could play his 200th. He drops to the bench with
01:45Benjamin Negrin, Junior Adamu and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
01:53Stuart Armstrong won four titles and four cups in his time at Celtic often at Aberdeen's expense but now he's
02:01on their
02:01side. Rayo Hatate sorting his races out certainly made an impact at Ibrox. He also sealed a 2-0 win
02:12here in August and scored a winner at Petaudry last season.
02:24Martin O'Neill is in his third spell as Celtic manager. Peter Leven is in his third
02:29spell as interim manager of Aberdeen.
02:45Nick Walsh is the referee with Chris Graham on VAR duty.
02:54There's been little to suggest Aberdeen might disrupt Celtic tonight but in this
02:59season of seasons I guess you can never be too sure about anything James.
03:02Absolutely I think many people expect Celtic to come and get the victory here tonight but
03:07what a season it's been for upsets and shocks and surprises so nothing would surprise me tonight.
03:13interesting looking Aberdeen it's a 5-3-2 they're lining up in the two strikers up there they'll look to
03:19go
03:19and try and sell it under pressure as much as they can whilst trying to be solid defensively.
03:33Here's Luke McCowan, Araujo, a bit too much on that.
03:39Yeah but it's the right idea, Civanciara had made that space in the centre where Araujo's got a
03:46simple pass to Yang that he spots, Civanciara just over hits the pass.
03:53Celtic forced into that late change because Dave Murray was filling an issue with his thigh in the
03:59warm-up hence the first start for Ben Arthur. Aberdeen looking for an early sight of goal but an
04:06acrobatic clearance from Liam Scales who was on loan at Petaudry three seasons ago.
04:16I think it would have been the case anyway for Aberdeen with Dave Murray obviously apart from his
04:22mistake I thought he performed really well against Rangers but certainly with Ben Arthur coming in
04:26it'll be get the ball forward trying put him under pressure early.
04:30And Maussane you can see he's playing up against him and not to go as direct as he can.
04:42Hefty touch from Callum McGregor, Araujo couldn't rescue it.
04:46This is one of Celtic's favourite fixtures they're unbeaten in their last 27
04:52premiership meetings with Aberdeen and they haven't lost at Petaudry for over a decade now.
05:05Martin O'Neill has only lost once in his nine visits to Petaudry.
05:10His last visit was 21 years ago. Chris Sutton scored the only goal of the game with the most deflected
05:16strike in football history.
05:21What's he done to annoy you Crocs?
05:24Here's Nilsson.
05:30Milne.
05:35Ola Sanja racing towards it, he is quick but it was always carrying to Sinisano.
05:41It was but I don't think he read it Ola Sanja, I think that's a brilliant pass.
05:44Jack Milne stepping forward, looked like he was going to hit the diagonal to frame.
05:48I think Ola Sanja if he reads that he's got a chance of getting on the end of it.
05:55He was looking for a free kick but Liam Scales have sorted it out for Celtic anyway.
06:01Tate.
06:03On nicely by Tonecti.
06:08It's picked up here by Yang, McCowan found him, Araujo in support.
06:17McCowan edge of area, Sanchara in the middle.
06:23And Tate floated in and it's a very comfortable catch for Mitov.
06:30Yeah but he still has to come and get it through bodies, good early catch for Mitov, good play from
06:35Celtic.
06:36I think that pass when it's fired in towards Chavanchara, he doesn't think it's for him but I think it
06:42is.
06:44Tate a game changer at the weekend as a second half sub, Yang taking on Mitchell frame, ping that cross
06:55in for sure.
06:56Kieran Tierney's going to send it back but it comes off Cameron, the Celtic corner.
07:01Yeah it's excellent from Yang, touch, touch, touch, little shot, touches of the ball, drop of the shoulder onto the
07:07right, flashes it across and I actually thought Kieran Tierney was going to hit that first time.
07:19Only Livingstone have conceded more goals and set pieces than Aberdeen.
07:27Luke McCowan is over this corner as Celtic look for an early opener, Scales helped it on and Kieran Tierney
07:35is there again.
07:38What a week he's having.
07:41he's fired Celtic
07:43into an early lead
07:44to calm things down
07:46for the champions of Bittaudry
07:48well he highlighted
07:50vulnerability at set plays
07:52Aberdeen and I don't think
07:54he's the greatest of crosses from Luke McCowan
07:56but great improvisation
07:59from Liam Scales
08:00just putting it into an area, look at the space
08:02for Kieran Tierney
08:04Kevin Nisbet's picking him up
08:06he drops him
08:07he's all alone, unmarked
08:09in a rare right footed golfer Kieran Tierney
08:12but Liam Scales
08:14just brutally to keep it alive
08:15in Tierney, in the right place
08:17at the right time
08:19to get his side off to a flying start in this game
08:24well he's certainly
08:26contributing on the goal scoring front
08:28on his return
08:30to Celtic
08:42on his return
08:44to Celtic
09:11what's the time frame
09:12for a perfect hat trick
09:17Araujo
09:19Celtic full of purpose
09:20already
09:23in a match that should have been played a month ago
09:26but was postponed due to
09:30the 400th successive day of rain in Aberdeen
09:33but it's nice and sunny here today
09:35yeah and what you have to say
09:37the pitch is in much better shape
09:38than I thought it was going to be
09:39you can see there's still
09:40you know
09:41patches where
09:42it could be better
09:43but considering the amount of rain
09:45that has hit Aberdeen
09:47over the last couple of months
09:48fair play to the ground staff here
09:50because the pitch is looking really good
09:56Araujo
09:56Zinekti showing interests
09:58and he's in
10:00Nilsson will hold him up
10:02Yang
10:05racing in
10:07yeah it's good play from Yang
10:08this little ball over the top
10:10he just leans in
10:11Mitchell frame
10:14you see him
10:14spinning short
10:15I think he'd have been offside
10:17but
10:18that little nudge there
10:19is just enough
10:19he just can't get it
10:21under control
10:21to get the shot away
10:31just the start
10:33Celtic wanted
10:33that is Jensen
10:44free kick for
10:46Stuart Armstrong
10:48the ball was moving
11:04Jensen for
11:06Cameron
11:17Aberdeen have
11:18conceded
11:19the first goal
11:2218 times
11:23this season
11:23in the premiership
11:24and only recovered
11:26to win
11:26once
11:31an early setback
11:33for Peter Lieben
11:34who
11:35continues in
11:36interim
11:37charge
11:40Aberdeen
11:41seemingly prepared
11:42to wait
11:42for
11:43their new manager
11:44despite
11:46the season
11:47that has delivered
11:48a little
11:54Tate
11:56Tonecti
11:57was Yang
11:58to the right
11:58and we'll use him
12:06Araujo
12:07in support
12:11Tonecti
12:12and Araujo
12:13linking up
12:16Tate
12:25Tate
12:26into

12:30with a hit
12:30and as
12:31usually
12:31struck it

12:37play from
12:37Celtic
12:38speeding the
12:38pass
12:39and movement
12:40certainly
12:40a much
12:41higher
12:41tempo
12:41than we've
12:42seen
12:42in the last
12:43couple of

17:55Liam Scales who might have come back to Aberdeen after his loan here
17:59but for injuries at Celtic
18:02which brought an end to that idea
18:04and effectively kept him at the club
18:14just when you think the ball is going out
18:18eventually it does and it's an Aberdeen throw
18:20quick pick out from Jensen here for Cameron
18:25and there will be an Aberdeen corner
18:29yeah I mean it's not pretty
18:30not necessarily a quick throw in from Aberdeen
18:32Cameron McGregor does but I wouldn't let it down the line
18:34of that square ball from Lyle Cameron
18:36thought he was going to take the shot on there
18:38but trying to pick his team mate out
18:43McGregor spotting the danger as usual
18:46former Celtic man Stuart Armstrong will take this
18:54Armstrong gets some height on that
18:56Nisbet
19:00three kicks been given here by Nick Walsh
19:15Jensen
19:16Cameron
19:38the Dean have lost 12 of their 14 games against teams in the top six this season in the premiership
19:46which uh... kind of sums up...
19:49Why they are where they are.
19:50Yeah, it's fair to say it's been a hugely disappointing season for Aberdeen.
19:54Coming off the back of that Scottish Cup victory,
19:58you expected them to go from strength to strength,
20:01and it just hasn't happened.
20:02Now they find themselves in a strange situation
20:06where everything about their season rests on the result of the weekend
20:11in the Scottish Cup.
20:13Could they potentially go on and win the cup again
20:16with another underwhelming domestic campaign?
20:21Back-to-back Scottish Cups, eh?
20:23Well, a man who knows a bit about that competition
20:25might have something to say about it.
20:28Aberdeen at Neil Lennon's Dunfermline.
20:31Here's Mitchell Frame, former Celtic youngster.
20:35This cross is cleared by Hattate.
20:38Gabby Malloy onto it.
20:40Now Cameron.
20:42Frame.
20:45Olesunia.
20:46Nisbet, hoping this will come down for him.
20:50Cameron.
20:52Olesunia.
20:53Penalty.
20:56Olesunia clips.
20:57Liam Scales is coming across to the referee.
21:00But Nick Walsh points to the spot as BAR ticket.
21:04Yeah, it was messy.
21:05I think that when the ball is in there and there's loads of bodies round,
21:08if you're going to make that challenge,
21:10it has to be absolutely spot on.
21:11Kevin Nisbet just can't find the space.
21:14Olesunia.
21:15Nips in, gets his leg across.
21:17Liam Scales kicks him in the calf by the looks of it.
21:21I mean, it's extremely soft, the contact,
21:24but Olesunia's got himself in front.
21:30And brushes his calf.
21:36Chris Graham is on VAR tonight.
21:39And they are checking the decision.
21:42In fact, they're checking the attacking phase of play
21:45to make sure there's nothing untoward,
21:47which obviously suggests what's coming here.
21:49Yeah, I mean, no matter how slight the contact is,
21:52Olesunia gets his leg in front.
21:54Liam Scales goes to kick the ball.
21:55It does look like he's trying to pull out,
21:57but the contact on his calf is enough.
22:01And for Nick Walsh to give it,
22:02not enough to be overturned.
22:08Penalty confirmed.
22:09Yes, Pekalson took Aberdeen's last two.
22:11He's not around anymore.
22:13So it's Kevin Nisbet.
22:18It's a big moment.
22:19And it's a perfect penalty
22:22from Kevin Nisbet.
22:24Sinisala went the wrong way.
22:27And that's given the Aberdeen fans a lift to Pitobri.
22:31Given them something to share about
22:32in what's been a dreadful season.
22:36Yeah, I mean, it's come off the back
22:38of the last five minutes or so.
22:40A little bit of pressure,
22:42a little bit of territory.
22:43Managing to get in Celtics' half
22:44and get the balls into the box.
22:47The quality hasn't quite been there,
22:49but they keep it alive.
22:51Olesunia getting himself in front of Liam Scales
22:53and Kevin Nisbet.
22:55Cool as you like from the sport.
22:56Sinisala away the wrong way.
22:57It's a good penalty.
22:58Struck well.
23:01Given, as you say,
23:03those Aberdeen fans in the stadium
23:04something to cheer about.
23:07Well, he scored and missed
23:09a penalty for Hibs against Celtic
23:11back in 2020.
23:14There was not much doubt about that one.
23:31and you have to credit Aberdeen for the response.
23:34Celtic, I think, started really bright.
23:36Sharp passing movement.
23:38so that surely they've managed to get themselves up the pitch
23:42and get balls into the box
23:44forcing Celtic into defending
23:45without really creating clear-cut opportunities
24:09there's Ben Arthur
24:16Scales
24:17got the force of Onasanya there
24:26Quirantini's on the move
24:29Tanikti over there too
24:35Araujo
24:38here's Yang
24:52Dave Cormack watching on
24:53did an interview this week
24:54saying they will wait
24:55to the end of the season
24:57if they have to
24:58to appoint a new manager
25:01but a top contender
25:03is here tonight
25:04Sandro Swartz
25:06who's managed in Germany
25:08and in America
25:11and he's been invited to the game
25:12sitting next to the sporting director
25:14Lutz
25:15Fannin
25:16still there
25:20yeah I think there's been
25:22a bit of concern
25:25around Aberdeen
25:26that they haven't managed to
25:27identify
25:28the top candidate
25:29that looked like they had done
25:30a couple of weeks ago
25:31and it's all gone quiet
25:33I think they do have to
25:35as long as they get the right man
25:36I don't think it really matters
25:38but
25:39as I said a minute ago
25:41huge game at the weekend
25:42their season hinges on
25:44progression in the Scottish Cup
25:50I mentioned
25:51Tom Firmland
25:52Aberdeen
25:53in the Scottish Cup
25:54at the weekend
25:55and
25:55Tom Firmland manager
25:57an eight times Scottish Cup
25:59winner
25:59as a player
26:00and a manager
26:00Neil Lennon is here
26:02trying to find a way
26:03to beat Aberdeen
26:07yeah
26:08I don't know how much
26:10I don't get to see them
26:11obviously in the flesh
26:12but
26:13I think they'll have
26:14real belief that he can
26:15cause an upset
26:15in Firmland
26:16rested a few players
26:18last night
26:18got a brilliant victory
26:19great result
26:23Armstrong
26:23blocked by Nick Walsh
26:26that was a quality
26:28interception
26:28that was
26:29there's always frustration
26:30when
26:30as if the referee's
26:31trying to get in the way
26:32I mean you see that
26:33Armstrong's passed it
26:34into the space
26:35the referee's standing
26:36what's he meant to do
26:41here's Malloy
26:44Milne
26:45Cameron
26:56Nisbet
26:56poked away
26:58by Scales
27:00it's one back
27:01by Armstrong
27:02here's Olesanya
27:03and Arthur
27:05can go up a cliff
27:06great strength
27:08I think Olesanya
27:09an opportunity
27:09to pass that
27:10to his right hand side
27:11decides to go himself
27:12Arthur Schoen
27:14he has a strength
27:21they've settled well
27:22Aberdeen
27:23speaking about
27:24their fragility
27:25and how
27:26poor a season
27:27it's been
27:27I'd expect
27:28going a goal
27:29behind it
27:31maybe then
27:31they would crumble
27:32but
27:33they've bounced back
27:34well
27:34got themselves
27:35level
27:36and
27:36you can see
27:37they're a team
27:37that can fancy it
27:40Jain Murray
27:41watching on
27:41having
27:42suffered a thigh
27:43problem in the warm-up
27:44otherwise he
27:45would have started
27:46again as he did
27:47in the old firm
27:50so Ben Arthur
27:51came on as a sub
27:52against him
27:53but this is only
27:53his second
27:55appearance
27:55he played
27:57three cup
27:57matches for
27:58Brentford this
27:58season
27:59and won them
27:59all
28:00and he was
28:01that
28:01under 21
28:02player of the
28:04last season
28:15he
28:16he
28:33he
28:33he
28:33he
28:33he
28:34he
28:37can see that
28:38Nilsson
28:39for
28:39hauling
28:39Svanchara
28:40to the ground
28:42Yeah, he gets done, caught at the wrong side
28:44Sivert Nielsen, great
28:46One time, touch passing
28:48You see Javanchara
28:50Just holding him in
28:51Spinning him
28:53I have no complaints, Sivert Nielsen
28:56He's trying to walk away from the scene
28:58Of the crime, but Nick Walsh having none of that
29:19To Nickte
29:23Nielsen and Cameron
29:25Move towards him
29:26McGregor helps it on here to Araujo
29:31He's made Yang work for that
29:43Luke McCowan
29:49Tierney
29:49Led the run forward, Callum McGregor
29:53And stopped by Nielsen
29:55Now Kevin Nisbet
30:00Alessanya shows interest, but Scales is fine
30:02Yeah, good defending
30:04Because you know Alessanya's got paced
30:06He's wanting to go and make that run in behind
30:08He's a decent enough pass from Nisbet
30:10Well defended, the Liam Scales
30:31McGregor
30:35Timmy
30:44Arthur
30:45Arthur
30:55McGregor
30:56Over to Tierney
30:58Looking for Svanchara
31:06Not quite going to continue for Aberdeen
31:08Or will it
31:10Kiger trying to get involved
31:11But McGregor
31:13Slips in to Nekte here
31:18It's into the side netting from a man who
31:20Can strike the ball so well
31:22Sebastian Ternecte
31:23Yeah, he works the space really well
31:25Yang and McEwan are actually tackling each other
31:28Leading up to this
31:28Callum McGregor
31:30With a little pass
31:30I wonder
31:31Can he flash it across
31:32To Vanchara
31:34But we know he's capable
31:35He's cutting on his right foot
31:37He's all had his angles covered anyway
31:49Nilsson
31:54Rauho read that
31:55McEwan now
31:59Svanchara
32:02Sends his cross in
32:03Steered away by Milne
32:05Back by Tierney
32:06And away by Jensen
32:08And
32:09Nisbet
32:11That's all he could do
32:12In keeping it in
32:13Mistake from Arthur
32:15Encourages Cameron
32:17Olesagne
32:18Making moves ahead
32:20Stuart Armstrong
32:21Arrives to
32:28That's not a decent enough break
32:30For Aberdeen
32:31Arthur with a poor touch
32:33Misjudging the ball
32:34And then
32:36Cameron's got options
32:38Olesagne
32:38Armstrong
32:39Scales
32:41Looked like he was going to go and
32:42Make the challenge
32:44Decides
32:45Better of it
32:50Frame
32:54Arthur's clearance
32:56Picked up by Geiger
32:58Now Cameron
32:59Olesagne
33:02And Arthur
33:02Puts it behind
33:03For a corner
33:06Isn't it a poor touch
33:07From him
33:08Lane Arthur
33:11I don't know if he's
33:12Thinking about his last one
33:14That you have to get out
33:15Of your mind
33:15As quick as you can
33:21Now Cameron
33:22He wasn't involved in any
33:25Old firm games
33:27Last at Rangers
33:29Stu and Armstrong
33:30Was involved in a few
33:31Whilst at Celtic
33:33Cameron's corner
33:34Another free kick's
33:36Been given there
33:38For a push
33:45I mean
33:47That's as soft as you like
33:51Much better delivery
33:52On this occasion
33:57Flicked on by
33:59Svanchara
34:00But
34:00There's Jack Mill
34:02Olesagne
34:07Armstrong
34:08Grounded
34:12McCowan for
34:13Araujo
34:14It's away by
34:17Nilsson
34:26McGregor
34:35McGregor
34:36Celtic eager to retake the lead
34:40Having succumbed to a
34:42Kevin Nisbeth penalty
34:43After Kieran Tin
34:44In his opener
34:45Hatate blocked by Cameron
34:47And a corner
34:51Just trying to probe
34:52And find that space
34:53Celtic
34:54To get the cross in
35:02William Scales
35:03And Ben Arthur
35:05Potential targets here
35:08For McCowan
35:10Nick Walsh
35:11Wants a word here
35:12With
35:15Nilsson
35:15And
35:16Svanchara
35:24I think the message
35:25Was clear
35:27Yeah
35:27Like Nilsson
35:29Has to be careful
35:29He's on a booking
35:34They split the counter
35:35Take the corner
35:36Really poor
35:37Played by
35:38Nilsson
35:44How many times
35:44Do you see that
35:45With corners
35:46Yeah
35:47And I've been there
35:49It's not intentional
35:50But
35:51It's as frustrating
35:52For the taker
35:52As it is for everyone else
36:02McGregor
36:12Does give the free kick
36:14Eventually
36:14A bit messy
36:23Yeah
36:24Look at
36:25Kieran Tiernik
36:26Overrun it slightly
36:27Manages to get there
36:29A little calm
36:29And try to bit the block
36:30In it
36:30As I felt
36:32Nick Walsh
36:32Getting in the way
36:33Of the ball again
36:41Rauho
36:42McCowan
36:47It's a link up
36:49With Svanchara
36:49Here
36:50Abra be defended
36:51By Mitchell
36:52Frame
36:52Who gets
36:53The free kick
36:54Yeah
36:54It's brilliant
36:55Defending
36:55Look
36:56McCowan
36:56Driving inside
36:58And it is a nice
36:59Little weighted pass
37:00From McCowan
37:01And
37:02Chibanchara
37:03Look
37:03Frame
37:04Doing his job
37:06Brilliantly
37:07It's easy
37:07To switch off
37:08There
37:08But he doesn't
37:10He was in
37:11Celtics academy
37:11From a young age
37:13Only made one
37:14Senior appearance
37:15Against Feyenoord
37:16Back in
37:172023
37:18And joined Aberdeen
37:20Last summer
37:36McCowan
37:38Got more room here
37:39For Tinney
37:49All right
37:50Rauho
38:13Pretty even
38:13At the moment
38:15Yeah
38:16And I think
38:16Aberdeen's response
38:17Has been excellent
38:18Since going behind
38:18And making it
38:19Far more difficult
38:20For Celtic
38:21To find a way
38:22Through
38:24And having those
38:25Two strikers up front
38:25Always gives them
38:26An opportunity
38:27To hit them
38:28Back in the counter
38:32Another foul
38:33By Nilsson there
38:34Who has been booked
38:35Jack Milne
38:36Stepping in
38:36To sort this out
38:40And secure a throw
38:44Yeah
38:44He has to be careful
38:45I said that a minute ago
38:46And I was talking to it
38:48From Nick Walsh
38:49And it doesn't mean
38:50You can't go and
38:51Be strong
38:52And try and win the ball
38:54But he just has to be careful
39:13He's at the centre of
39:14Quite a lot
39:16Quite a lot
39:18Premier League darts
39:20Continues tomorrow
39:21Week 5
39:21In Cardiff
39:22From 7 o'clock
39:23Sky Sports action
39:40Cameron
39:48Alexander Jensen will take this throw
39:50Needs an option
39:52Needs an option
39:53Oh, Masanya provides it
39:59Nilsson floating that
40:01Towards
40:01The ensign
40:05Ho, Masanya
40:06Go, Masanya
40:11Tragana
40:11Here's Nilsson
40:12Armstrong
40:17Has gone out
40:18For a Celtic throw
40:20they've managed to knock Celtic out of rhythm Aberdeen
40:23Celtic need to try and find a way
40:24to up the tempo
40:27try and put Aberdeen under as much
40:29pressure as they can
40:31full credit to Aberdeen for rallying
40:34making it difficult for Celtic
40:38Celtic unbeaten in their last
40:3918 visits to Petaudry
40:41their last loss here over
40:43a decade ago, Johnny Hayes scored a
40:45stunner for Aberdeen, Simon
40:47Church got the winner
40:48Lee Griffith's late goal wasn't too bad either
40:51but not enough for Celtic
40:55that was cute from McCowan
40:58Ternepti has Svanchara
41:00and Yang in the box
41:02and he found a way to Yang
41:05not quite to Svanchara
41:11Raoho
41:13McCowan
41:15McGregor
41:18Tierney
41:20got his cross in
41:22helps on by Yang
41:24but collected
41:24by Mito
41:27Outstanding play
41:27from Celtic
41:29down that left hand side
41:32and I thought when it
41:34come initially that Yang could get the shot away
41:36it's clearly for Svanchara
41:37maybe not
41:38wonder if he could just swing the left foot of that
41:44scrambled away anyway
41:45for Aberdeen
41:51Svanchara just chucking himself there
41:53this might open up here for
41:54Luke McCowan
41:55blocked by Milne
41:59blocked by Milne
42:00Tenecti
42:01blocked by Milne
42:06McGregor
42:07Araujo
42:10Gaby Malloy
42:11clears it
42:17they're trying to up the tempo now
42:18Celtic
42:19Celtic
42:20in the passing
42:22Mardin
42:23standing up to it so far
42:28Svanchara took a hand in the face
42:29from Gentmil
42:30which is why he was
42:34just making sure
42:36things were fine
42:41McCowan
42:42Mertate
42:44Tierney
42:46Celtic surging forward again
42:48with Sebastian Tlenecti now
42:52Tierney's gonna have another go
42:54it's deflected on its way through
42:56to Dimitar Mito
42:58yeah comfortable
43:00but in the end again
43:01it's decent play
43:02down the left hand side
43:03to Nethke
43:04with the head up
43:09relieved Dimitar Mito
43:11that he doesn't have to
43:11make a difficult save there
43:15Geiger
43:18Nisbet
43:19Lafer across
43:20to deal with
43:22Ovasanya
43:29final five minutes
43:31of the first half
43:32in front of
43:32just over
43:3317,500
43:36at Petodri
43:38Armstrong
43:45Armstrong
43:46Ovasanya
43:54when he takes a touch here
43:56Ovasanya
43:57he's trying to
43:57step across
43:58to stand his ground
44:00and he catches
44:01Kieran Tierney
44:02there you go
44:07it is a yellow card
44:08forward
44:09Troyes
44:09Ovasanya
44:10who was sent off
44:10against Celtic
44:12a couple of years ago
44:13for a boot in
44:14Joe Hart's face
44:15and he's on a yellow card
44:17here now
44:17yeah I mean
44:18you see it
44:20when forwards
44:21are going to try
44:22and protect
44:22and just get their body
44:23across for that little step
44:25but
44:25quite a big step
44:27you saw one for
44:27Kieran Tierney
44:31and it is a foul
44:32absolutely
44:35Kieran Tierney's down
44:36getting treatment
44:36but
44:37he's a man
44:38that gets Celtic
44:39off and running
44:40and then
44:41Aberdeen
44:42good response
44:43keep the ball alive
44:44and there's a bit
44:44with the responsibility
44:45tucks it away
44:53Kieran Tierney's
44:55OK
44:55but certainly felt
44:56the force of that
44:57he doesn't have to go
44:58off of course
44:58because Ovasanya
44:59was booked
45:06that's probably
45:07one of those
45:08for Kieran Tierney
45:08where he's thinking
45:09I'm just going to stay
45:10in a good position here
45:12make him go back
45:12the way
45:13not expecting Ovasanya
45:14to just step across
45:15him right on his
45:16top of his foot
45:28to Tonecti
45:56Tonecti
45:58Arthur
45:58and then he's going to go back to Tonecti
46:22to go back to Tonecti
46:28Kieran Tierney
46:28certainly has an eye for goal tonight
46:30a couple of shots he's had
46:31getting forward in that narrow position as well
46:34and his recovery is very good as well
46:36he stopped Lyle Cameron
46:42Svanchara looking to latch onto this
46:44steered away by Nilsson
46:47Cameron
46:49Ovasanya
46:53he's caught by
46:55Atate
46:57do you have any fans
46:59fancying a yellow card there
47:00I think
47:02yeah they are
47:05his first start
47:06you can see
47:07he has
47:08not been under
47:09massive pressure
47:10but he has been busy
47:11and you expect that
47:12we know how good Ovasanya is
47:14and how much of a problem
47:15he can cause
47:16certainly
47:16some introduction
47:17for the big mind
47:24as it stands
47:25there will be
47:26two minutes added on
47:27in this first half
47:36Geiger
47:39Armstrong
47:50Timmy
47:52will guard that
48:06scales
48:10who scored
48:11that goal
