Little excitement at all other than Dylan Tait's effort that clipped the bar but it's the visitors who have just looked that tiny bit more likely.

They've edged possession and look more capable of direct threat. But it's very, very tight with little between these sides on this evidence.

Clearest chance of the game as Jordan Obita fires over the Motherwell bar with his weaker right foot after multiple ricochets in the penalty box.

All a bit messy, that.

It's taken Livingston half of the first half but they are now getting the ball into the Kilmarnock penalty area.

A corner from the right is struck high by Stevie May but cleared. Livi recycle and Samson Lawal lifts a cross in and Kilmarnock stand firm.

Determined defending is the theme of the match so far.

Chances at both ends as United finally spark into life at Parkhead.

It's a lovely ball towards the Celtic back post from Will Ferry but Dario Naamo can't get his first touch right and Kasper Schmeichel comes out to gather.

Up the other end, a Celtic ball is flashed across the six-yard box but there's no one in green and white to turn it in.

Grant Hanley climbs on the back of Lukas Fadinger to win a ball from Dan Barlaser, but the Hibs centre-back heads wide of the far post.

That was begging for a touch from a team-mate.

Kieran Tierney's ball takes a nick off a United defender on its way through to Daizen Maeda whose shot is deflected off the crossbar and out for a corner.

The Japan international gets his head to the resulting corner but it's an easy catch for Dave Richards.

That's an unlucky one for Dan Nlundulu. The striker loses his footing and slips into Scott Bain as he tries to close the Falkirk keeper down.

As a result, he totally wipes Bain out, and referee Steven MacLean has to book him.

Scott Tiffoney gets away on the Kilmarnock right and his cross is pushed out by goalkeeper Jerome Prior on to Bruce Anderson. The ball ricochets away from goal but could really have gone anywhere.

Stephen O'Donnell goes down off the ball and receives some treatment but he'll have to make way.

Johnny Koutroumbis replaces the Well defender.

Off the bar for Falkirk!

The visitors have had the better of it and have looked threatening on the counter. That's how this chance unfolded too, as Barney Stewart lays off to Dylan Tait, and his shot is palmed onto the bar by Shamal George.

Another good passage of play from Celtic who are passing so comfortably in and around Dundee United's box.

Reo Hatate sends a strike wide and gives United a goal-kick and a bit of a breather.

That early substitution has affected the flow of things in West Lothian. A lot of stoppages for scrappy fouls and offsides too.

It's not entirely clear how Neil McCann wants his Kilmarnock team to play as yet.

That said, Dominic Thompson gets away on the left and flashes a dangerous ball across the face of the Livingston goal. No takers.

A superb ball from Jordan Obita looks perfect for Kieron Bowie to power on to, but he's just ahead of it and Emmanuel Longelo knocks it behind.

Grant Hanley, a man with a point to prove, gets to the corner kick but nobody in a home shirt can find the second touch.

Kieran Tierney floats a lovely cross towards the back post where Hyun-jun Yang is waiting. He rises highest but heads just wide.

It's been all Celtic in the opening 15 minutes.

Kieron Bowie is always stretching as he gets to a Jordan Obita cross from the left and can't aim his header on target.

Former Hibs man Paul McGinn manages to get the ball out of the danger area then wins a foul under pressure from Josh Mulligan.

United's Vicko Sevelj has soldiered on, even though Iurie Iovu was getting ready on the sidelines.

Another Celtic attack ends with Auston Trusty heading wide of the far post.

Livingston manager David Martindale has made his mind up.

The booked Brooklyn Kabongolo is withdrawn and on comes experienced defender Danny Wilson.

The only time Motherwell have played a back three this season was against Hibs in their meeting earlier this season.

They're doing it again today. Interesting.

Foul number three inside seven minutes for Brooklyn Kabongolo and Danny Wilson's now been sent to warm up.

Kabongolo has got to go off, he's all over the shop at the back for Livingston.
