    GOAL Celtic 1-0 Hibernian

    Jeremie Frimpong

    Celtic take the lead and it has been coming.

    Centre-half Ryan Porteous is caught on the ball by Odsonne Edouard and the big striker sets up Jeremie Frimpong and 19-year-old rolls it through the legs of goalkeeper Ofir Marciano.

  2. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Boli Bolingoli lets fly and, although the shot flashes past goalkeeper Ofir Marciano, it goes inches wide.

  3. 'Pressure on Porteous'

    Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    There's a big onus on young Ryan Porteous, because Jason Naismith is almost playing as an outside right for Hibs. He's pushing right up that right-hand side, leaving that big big area for Porteous to defend. We've seen Edouard and Bolingoli, with his pace, driving forward, so he has to be a good defender and it's not a position you normally want your centre-back to play in

  4. Hibs yet to threaten

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    Hibs have set up pretty well, but they can't get a shot on target so far

  5. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Another shot from the edge of the box from Celtic, this time Callum McGregor firing straight at goalkeeper Ofir Marciano.

  6. Hibs hold firm under growing pressure

    Celtic are growing more and more commanding in the game, with Hibs a more fleeting presence in attack after a bright opening period.

    The visitors are keeping a very disciplined shape in front of Ofir Marciano, though, and that’s forcing Celtic to work very hard to create an opening.

  7. 'How do we make the breakthrough?'

  8. 'Change in the middle for Hibs'

    Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    I'm just looking at the change in the system from Hibs, with three in the middle of the pitch. That's allowed Celtic to put four in the middle and they're starting to dominate possession, with Scott Allan having to plug the defensive situation in midfield, which he doesn't like doing. He likes playing that number 10 position, seeing what's in front of him

  9. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    There's little between the teams at Celtic Park.

  10. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    It's Callum McGregor's turn to have a shot at goal, but the Celtic midfielder fires straight at goalkeeper Ofir Marciano.

  11. 'An open game so far'

    Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It's been a good open game so far from both teams. Three or four chances for Celtic so far and a couple for Hibs - and we've only played just over 20 minutes

  12. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Celtic are peppering that Hibs goal now and Odsonne Edouard sends a shot just wide of the post.

  13. 'Edouard did almost everything right'

    Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It's good play from Frimpong, with great feet and a cut back to Edouard, who did almost everything right. He just guided it towards the side netting on the right-hand side, but it just went the wrong side of the post

  14. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Odsonne Edouard's curling drive goes just wide as the Frenchman shows again what Celtic missed while he was injured.

  15. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Hibs winger Martin Boyle comes in off the wing and fires a drive just wide.

    The visitors are certainly not sitting back.

  16. Good defending from Ajer

    Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    Hibs are being brave on the ball. You have to compliment Ajer on his defending there, or else it would've been 1-0 to Hibs

  17. 'You would put your house on Ntcham scoring'

    Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It was a big chance for Ntcham. Great play from McGregor, who just drove into space and cut it back. You would've put your house on Ntcham hitting the back of the net, but it was a good height for Ofir Marciano to make the save

  18. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    A superb crossfield ball from Stevie Mallan gives Jason Naismith a sight at goal, but Kristoffer Ajer's sliding challenge saves the day for Celtic.

  19. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    Olivier Ntcham has a chance 15 yards out, set up by Callum McGregor, but the midfielder's effort is well saved by goalkeeper Ofir Marciano.

  20. Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

    If this ends in a goalless draw, Celtic and Rangers would be level on points, goal difference AND goals scored!
