    Hearts determined not to be overrun here but Celtic are so strong on the ball and they’re hunting in packs when possession is lost. Any glimmer of hope the visitors had from the Lafferty goal has been extinguished.

    Hearts make their final change and it's Steven Naismith taking over from goal-scorer Kyle Lafferty. Will the substitute get a glimpse of goal in the final 10 minutes or so?

    Here come Hearts again as David Milinkovic crosses in from the left and Kyle Lafferty heads over the top. Another goal for the visitors would certainly change the mood inside the stadium.

    Caley Thistle are rallying to try and find an equaliser but Iain Vigurs' shot that was deflected wide is the closest they have come so far.

    Home goalkeeper Mark Ridgers has had a fine night and he's just clawed away an AJ Leitch-Smith drive that looked destined for the bottom corner.

    Another Celtic change as Scott Sinclair takes over from Moussa Dembele, who has had his best outing in a Celtic shirt for quite some time.

  6. 'Fantastic finish' - but was Brown sold short?published at 21:14 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2018

    Michael Stewart
    Former Scotland midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    "That is an absolutely fantastic finish, guiding it into that far corner.

    "Scott Brown gives the ball away, but it's because he's always showing, he's always giving an angle and taking the ball in difficult positions.

    "He tried to make the angle for Simunovic and I don't think it's a pass he should have played - the weight of it put Brown under real pressure."

    Kyle Lafferty

    Where did that come from? Hearts reduce the deficit with a fantastic goal from Kyle Lafferty as the big striker crashes a shot into the bottom corner from just outside the penalty area.

  8. CLOSE!published at 21:10 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2018

    Charly Musonda is involved right away, a clever back-heel setting up the overlapping Kristoffer Ajer. Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard are queuing up to stick it away but Hearts somehow scramble the ball clear from the goal-line.

    A huge cheer for Charly Musonda as the on-loan Chelsea man is on for his Celtic debut, taking over from James Forrest.

    Odsonne Eduoard looks sure to net his second of the evening as he bustles forward with menace to meet a lovely pass from Moussa Dembele but the teenager hits his shot straight at Jon McLaughlin.

    We've had our first official stramash. The initial shot by Dundee's Mark O'Hara is blocked on the line and that sparks a frantic 10 seconds of pinball in the box, culminating in AJ Leitch-Smith hitting the underside of the crossbar.

    Celtic have started the second half the way they finished the first - on top and in full flow. Ntcham and Edouard linking up very well. Dembele looks like he has more goals him before the lights go out here.

    Quite simply a wonderful finish by Scott Allan - not just curled, but perfectly passed into the far bottom corner. To score a goal of that quality in these conditions must be worthy of some kind of one-off award! AJ Leitch-Smith gets the plaudits for the set-up work.

  14. Lofty praise for 'Stam-like giant' Ajerpublished at 20:54 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2018

    Michael Stewart
    Former Scotland midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    "I’m not for a single second comparing the two, but Kris Ajer is an absolute giant, and he reminds me of Jaap Stam, his physique.

    "He is a beast. As soon as the ball came into him and he knocked it past Milinkovic, he was so easily brushing him aside.

    "I don’t think I actually realised how big he is. You look at his glutes and his thighs, he almost looks like he’s not filled out his upper body yet."

    Kristoffer Ajer, who has been strolling through this game, is suddenly ruffled and gets booked for hacking down Arnaud Djoum near the halfway line.

    Fraser Wallace: Hampden all day long over Murrayfield

    Johnnie Notslar: Hampden has the history but Murrayfield is the better stadium.

    Tom Drysdale: Neither are currently suitable as a National football stadium. A new purpose built stadium is required or at least a redeveloped Hampden.

    The overarching half-time thought from absolutely everyone here is "please let this tie be decided by the end of the normal 90 minutes".

    Conditions are atrocious and worsening...
