GOAL Celtic 1-0 Kilmarnockpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2020
Mohamed Elyounoussi
Celtic's second-half pressure pays off as Mohamed Elyounoussi cuts in from the left to go past two opponents and let fly with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area.
Shane Duffy is claiming a touch but it looks like it comes off the toe of Aaron McGowan to take it away from Danny Rogers.

Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
A Celtic corner is flicked high into the night sky at the near post and Danny Rogers fumbles almost on the goal-line but the ball breaks away and Aaron McGowan hooks it clear.

Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
What happened there? Callum McGregor hammers in a tremendous cross from the left bye-line and Odsonne Edouard meets it right in front of goal inside the six yard box but somehow knocks the ball back in the direction of his team-mate with the goal at his mercy.

Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
Danny Rogers is something of a ball magnet at the moment as Shane Duffy steals a march from a David Turnbull free kick only to head tamely at the keeper from 10 yards out.
GREAT SAVE!published at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2020
Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
Here comes Jeremie Frimpong again as he races forward and hammers in a fierce shot, but it's straight at the keeper, who pushes it up in the air.
Celtic come again and Danny Rogers makes a great reflex stop to keep out a back post header from Odsonne Edouard.

Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
Jeremie Frimpong, who was rather subdued in the first half, immediately scurries forward on the right, with the ball breaking to Mohamed Elyounoussi, who curls a shot into the arms of Danny Rogers.

Can Killie keep on keeping Celtic out?

HT: Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
Do Celtic keep plugging away and hope Kilmarnock tire or do they need to step things up in the final third? There are plenty of options on a star-studded bench for Neil Lennon.

HALF-TIME Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2020
Not much to get excited about over the first 45 minutes.
Danny Rogers made a terrific early save to keep out a Christopher Jullien header but the Kilmarnock goalkeeper has not been overextended since.
Kilmarnock are getting stuck in and working hard to close the champions down.

Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
A dainty turn from Kristoffer Ajer sets up a shooting chance for David Turnbull. Plenty of power on the strike from 20 yards but it's straight at Danny Rogers, who does well to push it clear.
YELLOW CARD - Kabamba (Kilmarnock)published at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2020
Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
The visitors are certainly not holding back but Nicke Kambaba can count himself a bit unlucky to go in the book for his attempted tackle out on the touchline.

Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
Stuart Findlay strides out of the Kilmarnock defence and all of a sudden the centre-half is on the edge of the Celtic penalty box. His lay-off is mopped up and to add injury to insult Christopher Jullien catches him in the face with an outstretched arm.
YELLOW CARD - Power (Kilmarnock)published at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2020

Now that is definitely a foul as Alan Power sends Ismaila Soro high up into the air with a late challenge.

Odsonne Edouard is brought crashing down by an Alan Power tackle and Celtic are given a rather generous free-kick in a very promising position.
Straight into the defensive wall from Edouard...
