    HT: Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic

    This from our stats man Stefan Bienkowski...

    In this season's Scottish Premiership Celtic have gone on to win six of the nine games they were drawing at half time.

    Of the 13 league games Kilmarnock have been drawing at half-time, Steve Clarke's side have gone on to win five, draw six and only lose two.

    HT: Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic may be shading the possession stakes so far, but Kilmarnock have had more shots at goal, even if only one of their six attempts has been on target.

    "It's a good nil-nil", as they say.

    Kilmarnock have taken control of midfield even though they've only got two players in there with Gary Dicker and Alan Power. They've controlled it for probably the last 15-20 minutes.

  4. HALF-TIME - Kilmarnock 0-0 Celticpublished at 16:47 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2019

    So a first half of two halves at Rugby Park. Celtic out of the traps quickly, creating a couple of chances for Odsonne Edouard. But the hosts have been on top of the last 20 minutes or so.

    Riveting stuff.

    Everyone knows what Jordan Jones is all abbout. he has got blistering pace and can go either way. He beat Toljan easily but just put the wrong ball in.

    Kilmarnock full-back Stephen O'Donnell finds Jordan Jones in a bit of space down the left. The winger beats Jeremy Toljan before getting the ball into the box, but his cross doesn't find a taker.

    The ubiquitous Alan Power tries his luck on the volley from outside the area, but his effort deflects off Eamonn Brophy and out.

    Killie relishing this one as we approach half-time.

    A hefty challenge from Ryan Christie on Killie midfielder Alan Power earns the Celtic player a talking-to from referee Bobby Madden.

    It was an initial burst from Celtic, they were on the front foot, they were confident. They had two really good chances. They didn't get the goal and suddenly Kilmarnock grow in stature, they've had wee half chances, and Celtic have stopped moving the ball as quick.

    Still images can always be deceiving, but this challenge by Kilmarnock's Alan Power on Celtic captain Scott Brown looks uncannily familiar to the one against Rangers' Ryan Jack that caused such consternation last week.

    Great play from the ageless Chris Burke, who surges into the Celtic penalty area before slipping the ball through for Eamonn Brophy. The Kilmarnock striker gets his shot away, but it deflects off Dedryck Boyata and out for a corner.

    Free-kick for Celtic in a good position. Ryan Christie aims tit towards Kristoffer Ajer, but it falls harmlessly over his head and out for a goal-kick.

    Kilmarnock appear to have weathered the early Celtic storm, and are growing into this game nicely. Eamonn Brophy breaks free of the Celtic defence with a little burst of pace, but his right-footed shot lies wide of the right-hand post.

    Clar Weah - wife of George, mother of Timothy - will be hoping her wee boy gets off the Celtic bench at some stage.

    Very good play from Kilmarnock. They know how to frustrate, but when they get the ball, they can play. It's a great touch from Brophy but a great tackle from Ajer - the correct decision from the referee.

    Kilnarnock striker Eamonn Brophy tumbles in the box after a neat move from the hosts, but it's actually a well-timed tackle from Celtic centre-back Kristoffer Ajer.

    That's a great ball in from Chris Burke. Kirk Broadfoot made a great run, got on the end of it, and unfortunately for him it's gone the wrong side of the post. It's an area where they've had one success now - will they keep trying to test the defence like that? Celtic have some big players in there, so I don't think they'll be too happy with that.

    Action at the other end now as Chris Burke curls in a corner and Kirk Broadfoot's header glances just wide of the right-hand post.

    It's all Celtic at the moment. Scott Sinclair finds Ryan Christie just inside the box, but the Scotland international's effort is straight at Daniel Bachmann.
