  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 12:48 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Celtic

    That was fun. Enjoyed that. More of the same second half, lads.

    Derek McInnes gets booked for complaining to the ref just as he's about to head down the tunnel.

    He can be chuffed with his Killie side's display though, they've smashed the Celtic woodwork and had another effort cleared off the line.

    But the visitors deservedly lead based on chances created, with Matt O'Riley's finish splitting the sides.

  2. CLOSE!published at 12:47 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Celtic

    Kyle Vassell latches on to a ball on the left of the Celtic box before smashing one into the wrong side of the near-post netting.

    Flag goes up but it's tight.

    Another Celtic corner comes in from Luis Palma.

    Yeah, forget it. It goes out for a throw at the opposite side.

    Two minutes of the opening 45 to play.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 12:42 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Celtic

    That's a risky one from Brad Lyons.

    The Killie midfielder catches Tomoki Iwata on the ankle with his studs.

    He's lucky it's not an inch or two higher or he's offski.

  7. 'Best block this season'published at 12:41 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Stephen McGinn
    Former Kilmarnock midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    That's maybe one of the best blocks I've seen this season.

    I don't know how Alistair Johnston has stopped Corrie Ndaba scoring.

  8. Postpublished at 12:40 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    No way, on the replay it looks like Alistair Johnston rolled on the deck to block that with his back intentionally.

    That's unbelievable defending!

  9. Off the line!published at 12:39 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Celtic

    That's unbelievable.

    What a response from Killie, who come so close to scoring again.

    Danny Armstrong does brilliantly but Joe Hart tips his effort it to the back post, where Corrie Ndaba surely has a tap-in.

    But Alistair Johnston, on the deck with his back to play, makes a remarkable goal-saving block.

  10. 'Dennis should do better'published at 12:36 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    McGregor did brilliantly at the edge of the box.

    It's a decent save from the goalkeeper, but he should be turning it round the post.

    O'Riley does what a good midfielder does and follows up to score.

    GOAL! Kilmarnock 0-1 Celticpublished at 12:34 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Matt O'Riley

    This game is ALIVE.

    Will Dennis has played so well, but he has to do better there.

    Callum McGregor's shot from the edge of the box is fairly tame but the Killie keeper can only parry into the path of Matt O'Riley, who happily puts in the rebound.

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 12:33 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic

    We have a game here.

    Kilmarnock come within inches of opening the scoring with their first shot (I think?).

    A gorgeous ball to the back post is smashed off the bar by Danny Armstrong.

  13. Oh dear!published at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    I don't know how he missed it. There's no defender there.

    Oh should be finishing that.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic

    How's he missed?!

    Celtic burst forward and Mikey Johnston looks to have rolled one on a plate for Oh, who somehow doesn't make contact on the slide.

    Luis Palma follows up from a tight angle but smashes the near post.

    It's not great again from Oh, who cuts in on his right in the box before blazing another shot over.

    Was surely offside anyway.

    The corner comes to nothing but Celtic soon win another.

    Again, it's cleared.

  17. Postpublished at 12:27 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Celtic win a foul in a dangerous area.

    Matt O'Riley clips it in, Liam Scales wins it, then Kilmarnock turn it behind.

    Corner.

  18. Big chance for Celticpublished at 12:26 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It is a great run by Mikey Johnston and great pick out by Liam Scales.

    His first touch wasn't the best and Oh came in and couldn't get over the ball.

  19. CLOSE!published at 12:25 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic

    He's got to hit the target.

    A ball into the box is miscontrolled by Mikey Johnston but bounces perfectly for Oh, who lashes over.

    Killie are just getting a bit of a breather.

    Seeing more of the ball now.
