    I think Kyogo was preparing for contact and it didn't come. No contact, no penalty - right decision by the referee

    Hibs are all over the place at the back as Kyogo Furuhashi beats goalkeeper Matt Macey and centre-half Paul Hanlon to a ball over their defence.

    The Celtic fans are on their feet crying for penalty, but the striker fell over his feet as he tried to round the goalkeeper.

    It's a tiring performance for Hibs to play like this. They're constantly out of possession and chasing the ball. It's not sustainable

    Celtic's final ball has been poor today. Their build-up play is good, but they haven't been able to find that killer pass

    By this stage of the semi-final, Hibs were already three Martin Boyle goals to the good against Rangers.

    On their return to Hampden, they have hardly had a touch of the ball.

    If nothing else, they remain level with a Celtic side who nevertheless can't create clear-cut chances.

    The referee let Stevenson away with a heavy challenge early on, probably because it was his first challenge, but he's booked Juranovic for his first challenge, which was nowhere near as bad. Fans, coaches and players want consistency

  7. YELLOW CARD Doyle-Hayes (Hibernianpublished at 35mins

    Another yellow quickly follows the first as midfielder Jake Doyle-Hayes trips Kyogo Furuhashi as the striker is left in space by his Hibs defence.

    That's what you call a tactical foul. It's a good yellow for Juranovic, stopping Boyle breaking forward

  9. YELLOW CARD Juranovic (Celtic)published at 34mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    The first booking of the final goes to Josip Juranovic as the full-back pulls back Martin Boyle as the winger threatens another quick break.

    Celtic have had 75% possession. That just about sums up this final so far for Hibs.

    However, a quick Martin Boyle break and striker Kevin Nisbet just fails to find Josh Campbell with a chip into the Celtic penalty box.

    For me, Turnbull dropping out and Bitton coming into the middle just takes a little bit away from this Celtic side

    It's something Celtic have to look at - pretty much every attacking player has had some sort of soft tissue injury

  13. Bitton for Turnbullpublished at 25mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    David Turnbull is not only in physical agony but mental too as he cups his head in his hands as he collapses on the bench as his cup final ends early and Israel international Nir Bitton replaces him in Celtic's midfield.

    Celtic midfielder David Turnbull goes down in agony as he turns awkwardly and is going to be replaced it seems.

    Ryan Porteous' poisitioning for defending set-pieces has been criticised before and he lets Starfelt go free again there. That is a huge let-off for Hibs. Any proper contact and it's a goal

  16. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 23mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic have a good call for a penalty as Greg Taylor is pushed in the back by Paul McGinn at the front post at a corner.

    The ball still finds its way to a Celtic head, but Carl Starfelt then Kygo Furuhashi both fail to get a touch that will send it towards goal inside the six-yard box.

    Hibs venture into the Celtic penalty box for the first time as Joe Newell fires a free-kick towards the penalty spot, but team-mate Paul Hanlon can't get enough on his header to turn it towards goal.

    Hibs are turning the ball over too quickly. They're hemmed-in and then, when they get the ball, can't keep it. That pressure will get to you sooner or later; you have to keep the ball when you get it

    If you get your hands to the ball like Matt Macey did, you have to push it away to safety. You can't leave it there for players to follow up
