4:24pm

Weir clashes with Pepper, referee does nothing. Things are starting to boil over here.

4:22pm

Following a good performance from the referee in the first-half, it's fair to say he's not popular among the home fans at the moment.

3:48pm

Incredibly, City have their first corner of the game. Reece shoots and his effort is blocked.

3:45pm

3:37pm

Glover tries an effort from 30 yards. Why not? he's brimming with confidence. It goes wide.

3:33pm

SUB. Stalybridge (32 mins): Corey Gregory comes on from Sam Egerton. Not sure if that's an injury or the visitors not being able to handle City's attacking play.

3:31pm

3:26pm

Glover diverts a neat header into the path of Thorley, he sprints clear down the right before having his shot charged down.

3:23pm

Jordan Barrow's shot from distance is comfortably wide. He had more time than he thought.

Celtic beginning to see more of the ball. Perhaps City should have done more with their earlier possession.

3:19pm

Mitchell Austin heads wide from the first corner of the game. It was well wide too.

3:19pm

We've only beenplaying 16 minutes and already a few home fans are showing frustration and demanding City get the ball forward. Give the players a chance!
