Celtic are pinning Talbot in now.

Home goalkeeper Wullie Muir makes a bit of a meal of a Luke McCowan shot from distance, but he recovers well to jump on it before Johnny Kenny can get to the rebound.

A big five or ten minutes for Talbot here to make sure they steady the ship. They can't get caught up in the occasion and end up losing another goal.

A lot of pressure lifted off the Celtic players with that goal.

It's the first McCowan has gone on the outside and on his right foot.

Kenny is where he should be and hopefully that gives him confidence because he's not started the game well.

That's where you want your goalkeeper to show some bravery to come and grab it.

I can just imagine what Martin O'Neill will say at half-time.

Panic at the back for Celtic as Auchinleck Talbot hoist a free-kick into the visitors' box.

Viljami Sinisalo comes for it, flaps at it and it's bundled behind for a corner.

Nervy.

There's no excuse for that. He's 10 yards out. Keep your head down, hit the target.

We've seen this happen before. If they keep missing and missing, things will get anxious.

Celtic's best move of the game should bring about the opening goal.

Anthony Ralston's low cross from the right finds Michel-Ange Balikwisha in space about 10 yards out, but he spoons a shot over the bar.

Has to score.

Oooft, lovely.

Kyle McAvoy goes marauding into Celtic's half, jinking past a couple of defenders.

He appears to be fouled, but there's nothing coming from referee Ross Hardie.

When Celtic have it at the back, they can take their time, but as soon as it's wide, they have to be sharp and have pace.

Donovan has been quiet. He's knocking it around nicely, but 40 yards from goal. That's not helping anybody.

James Forrest goes to ground just outside the Talbot box on the left-hand side.

Paulo Bernardo whips a good ball in, but it goes behind for a goal kick.

The hosts are sitting very deep, but are pretty comfortable as it stands.

Celtic skipper Callum McGregor lets fly from miles out, but there's several Talbot bodies in the way and the shot is blocked.

This is very wholesome. Hello to Gillian if you're listening/reading.

Colby Donovan is screaming for handball after his cross is blocked behind for a corner, but that's never going to be given.

Celtic have been trying to score the perfect goal, without quite executing the final pass.

Celtic find some space on the edge of the Talbot box, but a superb defensive intervention halts the attack in its tracks.

Not with that attitude there won't be, Paul.

Talbot goalkeeper Wullie Muir is forced into action for the first time tonight and it's a fine save.

Stephen Welsh picks out James Forrest with a lovely diagonal pass over the top, Forrest cushions a header infield to Johnny Kenny, but the Celtic striker's first-time shot is clawed to safety by Muir.

That's exactly the sort of info we want.

On the pitch, Celtic try to take a corner quickly, but there's two balls on the pitch, so the visitors are forced to wait.
