  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 36 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic move the ball quickly from right to left, captain Scott Brown finds Kieran Tierney. The left back sends in a beautiful cross and Odsonne Edouard is stretching the neck muscles to head home.

    However, Hibs keeper Ofir Marciano has other ideas, flying through the Edinburgh sky to punch clear.

    Where has the time gone? Ten minutes plus added time remaining of a fascinating first half of this Scottish Cup tie at Easter Road.

  3. CLOSE!published at 27 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    So close to the opening goal. James Forrest tees up Odsonne Edouard and the Frenchman attempts to round Hibs keeper Ofir Marciano... but the striker loses his footing at the crucial stage.

    Did he kick the ground before trying to shoot?

    When Celtic have possession they play it up to Odsonne Edouard whose touch is poor and gives the ball back to Hibs who then get forward, nevertheless Dedryck Boyata has it covered.

  5. Case for the defence?published at 29 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Lewis Stevenson, wide on the left, sees his cross blocked by Dedryck Boyata. The Celtic defender then shows composure to mop up the danger.

    Neither side showing accuracy from the flanks, as yet...

    Today it could be down to someone making a mistake passing the ball in a bad area. It’s a Scottish Cup tie. But I’m not sure if Celtic’s movement has been good enough when they get the ball at the back.

  7. Capital punishmentpublished at 17:41

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    While this Scottish Cup tie is wide open, the Easter Road pitch is looking heavy as the Scottish capital is lashed by wind and rain.

    Shots from distance skidding over the turf will be hazardous for both goalkeepers.

    Hibs are a little bit more controlled [under Paul Heckingbottom]. They're not rushed into playing the ball forward. It’s probably helped them in one way but also led to them taking chances at the back.

  11. Burke dangerous for Celticpublished at 17 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Oliver Burke is seeing a lot of the ball for Celtic but the on-loan West Brom winger has seen a number of promising positions fizzle out through a poor first touch or alert Hibs defending.

    A fascinating contest so far; 0-0 after 17 minutes.

  13. Celtic patient in possessionpublished at 11 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    The visitors are probing, stretching the Hibs defence as they look to break the deadlock. Mikael Lustig then tries to dink in a cross but a sea of green Hibs jersey do the business and clear their lines.

    A decent break from Hibs but in the wide area but the crosses have got to be better. Stevenson will be disappointed with the quality of that cross.

  15. Hibs seek openerpublished at 10 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Hibs captain David Gray, galloping down the left, has a couple of bites at the cherry as he attempts to fire in a cross, but Celtic's defence - Kieran Tierney in particular - repels the danger.

  16. Ferocious startpublished at 6 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    The pace is unrelenting in this Scottish Cup tie in Edinburgh - both teams are bombing forward with no little relish.

    Can't see this remaining goalless for long...

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Brendan Rodgers said yesterday he'd love the chance to return to Celtic again as manager in 10 years.

    Perhaps the banners suggesting he shouldn't bother would have stopped by then...

    Both teams are pretty keen to get the ball forward early. There's not too much of it being played across the players at the back. Quite a lively start.

  19. Celtic go closepublished at 2 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    The visitors come within a whisker of breaking the deadlock in the opening two minutes. Oliver Burke fires a wicked effort at goal, forcing Ofir Marciano into a brilliant parry. Scott Sinclair, following up, can't force the ball home as defender Paul Hanlon gets a vital touch inside the six yard box.
