70 - Kevin Moon is booked for a late challenge on Samaras.

68 - Haber is sent through on goal with only Forster to beat, but his shot from a tight angle is saved.

67 - Saints are under constant pressure now, Celtic are firing on all cylinders.

64 - GOAL - Celtic make it two, and its a very well worked effort. They raced down the right and with three against one, the ball come into Samaras who played the return before it was laid on a plate for Ki Sung Yeung to blast past Enckelman.

62 - Free kick Saints, right on the edge of the box. Kayal is booked for breaking the wall.

59 - GOAL - Celtic. A corner from the right is not dealt with well and Celtic's Gary Hooper blasts home from close range.

58 - Cha puts a super ball into the box for Hooper to score, but Enckelman pulls off a great save.

56 - The game is end to end at the moment, with Saints contributing well to an entertaining game so far.

54 - Saints should have been awarded a free kick just outside the Celtic box, but bizarrely the ref gives it the other way!

52 - Celtic build up an attack on the right, a good ball over lands in front of Forrest 12 yards out, but he balloons it over.

50 - Samaras should have put Celtic ahead, he beat the saints defence to the ball, 6 yards out, but somehow Anderson got himself in the way and Enckelman was able to save. Samaras appealed for a penalty, but the referee quite rightly waived him away.

48 - Saints get their first decent effort, a good move inside the box from Dave MacKay resulted in a good low shot, which Forster saved well.

46 - Saints go straight on the attack and win a corner. From the corner, Forster is forced to concede another.

45 +3 Half Time - St Johnstone 0-0 Celtic.

45 - There will be three minutes of added time.

44 - Chris Millar is next to give away a free kick, a bit further out this time.

42 - A really good tackle is seen differently by the ref who awards a free kick, 20 yards out. Enckelman is well positioned to make the save.

40 - Haber gives away a free kick just on the halfway line, but Celtic can do nothing with it.

38 - Saints bring on Carl Finnigan for Robertson who has failed to shrug off his knock.

36 - A good run down the left flank by Du Ri only ends with a poor cross come shot and Saints come away with the ball.

34 - It's back to the wall stuff as Celtic pile on the pressure, yet another corner for them goes unrewarded.

33 - Majstorovic doesn't recover and is replaced by Thomas Rogne.

31 - Enckelman pulls off a great point blank save from a Hooper shot. The Celtic player should have scored.

28 - A really sturdy challenge on Robertson looks serious, but the player gets back up after a couple of minutes. The offender, Majstorovic is also injured in the clash.

26 - Saints are forced into conceding another corner when Sung Yeung sets up Samaras in the box.

24 - Corner Saints, Haber putting Majstorovic under pressure, it's well taken and Samaras is forced to clear into the stand.

22 - Some good work down the right from Celtic had the Saints defence in panic, eventually McCracken heading over his own goal, which just went over!

20 - Saints build up from midfield, Moon to Craig, but the move goes no further when the return pass is to pacey.

18 - Saints 5-4-1 formation is holding up well and frustrating Celtic.

16 - A strange free kick is awarded against Saints, when Craig forced his way forward.It looked very weak from here.

14 - Samaras forces Enckelman to get down and parry a fierce shot away, he grabs the lose ball at the second attempt.

13 - Good defending from MacKay and Moon force Celtic into an error and the danger is cleared.

10 - Corner to Celtic, Anderson is forced to concede while under pressure. From the corner, Saints break up field, but the chance is gone when Liam Craig's pass is too strong for Haber.

09 - Celtic are seeing more of the ball now, but the Saints defence are coping well.

07 - Davidson and Majstorovic clash in midfield, but the ref waves play on.

05 - Saints have settled into the game early, and are passing the ball about confidently.

03 - Enckelman picks up a pass-back, and is forced to launch it into the stand.

01 - Saints kick off towards the away end, there is a very large travelling support in the ground.
