    Jamie: Dreadful game. Celtic playing at 10% and Hamilton just not interested in playing at all.

    It is very humdrum. It's all Celtic but it's an unimpressive Celtic. We've seen Celtic in games like this before and they're full of energy, of ideas, of creativity, but we're not seeing that. Gary Woods has had one save to make for all the possession, he's not living in fear of this Celtic team. For all the Celtic fans who are worried about a lack of creativity and a lack of width in this Celtic team, here's more evidence to have them concerned."

    A low key first half at Celtic Park with the hosts unable to turn their superior possession into goals.

    Hamilton will be the happier team at the break but there's still a long way to go.

    Celtic making really hard work of this against a Hamilton team that are showing good concentration and discipline. You’d expect something to spark for the home team eventually, but it’s all pretty humdrum.

    Celtic have all the ball, but they’re not exactly peppering Gary Woods with quality efforts. The goalkeeper has had one save to make.

    Not the most eventful of matches so far in Glasgow - by this stage at Fir Park there had been three goals between Motherwell and Rangers.

    If Celtic are getting paid by the pass, they're pretty rich at the moment."

    Bit of a pantomime going on here around Dedryck Boyata. Every time he gets the ball a ripple of heckles begins only to be drowned out by applause.

    It would seem that the Celtic support is a little torn as to how to react to the Belgian. One decent moment from him so far after Kristoffer Ajer dived in and sold himself only for Boyata to sweep in behind and deal with the danger. Flat game so far.

    A huge banner in the Green Brigade corner of Celtic Park - ‘Boyata - not fit to wear the jersey' - is not exactly subtle. It’ll be interesting to see if it gets raised again during the day or at full-time. Dedryck Boyata has a lot to prove here.
