  1. St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    You don't see that very often. Greg Taylor is told more than once to retreat while taking a throw-in. He ignores Bobby Madden and the referee gives the throw-in the other way.

  2. St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    St Johnstone survive again as Kristoffer Ajer reads a slack pass from David Wotherspoon and charges forward to release Leigh Griffiths. The striker has a lash from 18 yards and his shot fizzes over the top.

  3. GREAT SAVE!

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Zander Clark gets down smartly to keep out a low shot from James Forrest and the keeper does well to push it away from Leigh Griffiths, who is in sniffing about for the rebound.

  4. YELLOW CARD

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Callum Hendry has been putting himself about up front for Saints and this time he is cautioned for wiping out Kristoffer Ajer.

  5. St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Saints wing-back Drey Wright absolutely skins Greg Taylor and hammers in a low cross from the right. Christopher Jullien sticks out one of his long legs to prevent Stevie May from knocking it in.

    An action-packed start to the second half.

  6. 'Glorious chances'

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    It's two glorious chances for Celtic, it really is. When it opens up for Edouard you think he's just going to bend it in, but for the first time in a while he hasn't shown any composure.

  7. CLOSE!

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    A goal looks certain as Odsonne Edouard drops a shoulder to go past his man and the target opens up but his shot from near the penalty spot goes high and wide.

    Two big chances for the visitors inside a minute.

  8. CLOSE!

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    James Forrest plays a neat one-two with Ryan Christie before drilling an angled shot just wide.

  9. KICK-OFF

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    We're up and running again.

    Greg Taylor does indeed have a fresh shirt on, as do a few others.

    Softies...

  10. Mud slide

    HT: St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Will Greg Taylor be making a costume change at the break?

  11. 'Celtic need more intensity'

    HT: St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    This is a huge game for Celtic after the disappointment of Thursday. I'm sure Neil Lennon will get into them, looking for more intensity

  12. 'St Johnstone are bang on'

    HT: St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    Once St Johnstone settled after the first 15 minutes they looked good. They've worked Fraser Forster a few times. Neil Lennon won't be happy, but most of that comes down to the Saints performance so far. They've got it bang on, they're physical and tight.

  13. HT: St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Before kick-off, Neil Lennon said he'd be "happy with a scrappy 1-0". The Celtic manager would probably bite your hand off for that result now.

  14. HALF-TIME St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    All square in the Perth mud.

    Celtic have seen most of the ball but haven't really tested home goalkeeper Zander Clark.

    St Johnstone are getting stuck in and Drey Wright's fizzing shot was well saved by Fraser Forster just before the half-time whistle.

    Scott Brown and David WotherspoonSNS

    Scott Brown and David Wotherspoon battle for possession

  15. YELLOW CARD

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    The free kick goes to Celtic but the booking is for Nir Bitton, who has an angry hack in retaliation at Callum Hendry.

  16. 'Saints are up in Celtic faces'

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It's a much better performance from St Johnstone so far. Maybe the conditions have helped them, but their structure's good. They're up in Celtic's faces, Wotherspoon is up on Brown. Ryan Christie looks like the one player with energy who Celtic are looking to

  17. St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Another good save from Fraser Forster as the giant Celtic goalie sticks up a hand to push over a Jamie McCart header from the corner.

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Drey Wright intercepts a slack cross-field pass from Ryan Christie and strides forward to let fly with a powerful shot from 20 yards. Fraser Forster is at full-stretch to push it away.

  19. St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Leigh Griffiths has to wade through a huge puddle of mud to take a couple of corners in quick succession, with neither delivery troubling the home defence.

  20. St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic goalie Fraser Forster is taking no chances as he tips over a looping cross from Drey Wright that might have been dropping in.
