1546 GOAL
Hamilton 1-2 Celtic
Paul Hartley fires Celtic in front. Cerny punches the ball clear, Hartley exchanges passes with Scott Brown before sending in a superb shot low into the net.
A fantastic finish, but it's cruel on 10-man Hamilton who will feel they have done enough to merit a point today.
Two minutes for them to find an equaliser.
1545: Cerny swats away a bullet header from Georgios Samaras. What a save! Could that stop deny Celtic victory?
1543: Just over six minutes to go. Celtic's flair players have been unable to breach Hamilton's red and white rearguard in this second half.
1542: Richard Offiong receives a standing ovation as he is replaced by David Graham. A superb performance from the striker.
1540: Celtic increase the pressure on Hamilton, but defender Mark McLaughlin clears to give the hosts some respite.
1536: Richard Offiong's Forrest Gump-style run scatters the Celtic defence, but his lung-bursting efforts are not rewarded with a goal as his shot is saved by Brown. The 10-men of Hamilton are pushing for a winner.
1533: Scott Brown is denied by the impressive Tomas Cerny, who blocks the midfielder's shot from inside the box.
Richard Offiong (7.89) is still the man on the player rater, with Hamilton team-mate James McCarthy (6.83) his nearest challenger.
1531: James McCarthy can't get his foot round the ball in the box, with the Celtic defence posted missing. Eighteen minutes to go, it's still 1-1.
1528: Hamilton spurn a great opening. Brian Easton over-cooks his through ball as James McArthur looked to have a clear run through on goal.
1526: James McArthur thunders into a challenge on Barry Robson. Both players crumple to the turf. McArthur is booked by referee Steve Conroy when he hobbles to his feet.
1524: Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley fires in a shot from 20 yards that clears the bar and almost takes out a cameraman perched high behind the goal. That would've been a real HD moment!
1523: Samaras comes on for goalscorer Nakamura. About 25 minutes for either side to find a winner as the light begins to fade at New Douglas Park.
1520: Looks like Georgios Samaras could be introduced by Celtic as they search for a second goal.
1517: "It's time for video refs to be brought in like rugby. It's the same in every football league, it's just Scottish fans think it's an Old Firm bias." Curadh on My SportJoin the debate
1516: Barry Robson crunches Richard Offiong with a hard, but fair challenge. Fifty six minutes gone and there's plenty to play for. The game is bubbling away nicely.
1513: Both sides clash in an angry melee in the centre circle. The Hamilton players wanted Massimo Donati to play the ball out for the injured Richard Offiong to receive treatment. Fingers are pointed in all directions. Both benches become involved in scenes reminiscent of the end of Rocky II.
Temperatures rise at a cold New Douglas Park.
"Hamilton had plenty of opportunities to play the ball out. There's no way Celtic should've kicked the ball out there." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Jim Duffy
1512: Hamilton goalkeeper Tomas Cerny easily collects a looping Nakamura free-kick. The hosts spring forward looking for their second goal of the afternoon.
1510: "Hamilton goal was border line offside and the penalty was also border line. Both decisions given in favour of the attacking team. Case closed." Green_Warrior on My Sport Join the debate
1508: The relative calm of the office here in Glasgow is disturbed by what sounds like the distant whirr of a hovercraft. Is Jason Bourne about to emerge from the River Clyde to view the clockwatch?
1506: Richard Offiong almost escapes the attention of Gary Caldwell. Ten-man Hamilton are still looking dangerous on the attack.
1505: Barry Robson is on for Mark Wilson as Celtic manager Gordon Strachan shuffles his pack.
1504: The second half gets under way.
1502: "How can Chick say there was no doubt it should have been a free kick and not a penalty? I'm sitting here with a Rangers fan who even admits Sheridan was fouled on the line. I think you are being very unfair suggesting it was a glaring error from the referee." Martin Hughes, via text, on 80295
1500: Fierce debate on My Sport regarding the penalty decision and controversial penalties/red cards involving the Old Firm.
1452: "I agree it was not a penalty, but our player didn't dive and he didn't ask for the penalty. The referee made the decision so quit with your conspiracy stuff. Hamilton's goal was a yard offside anyway, but no-one mentioned that" (bigmc1_9) Celtic4ever on My Sport Join the debate
1451: "The referee seemed to be pointing for a free-kick and then changed his mind. There's no doubt it should've been a free-kick" BBC Radio Scotland pundit Chick Young
1449: HALF-TIME
Hamilton 1-1 Celtic
"Hamilton have been undone by one long ball. Canning clipped Sheridan and they've lost a man and a goal." BBC Radio Scotland commentator Paul Mitchell
1444: Hamilton goalscorer Richard Offiong (7.38) is the pick of the bunch at New Douglas Park, according to your votes so far on the player rater.
Shaky performances from Celtic goalkeeper Mark Brown (5.25) and defender Gary Caldwell (5.63)
Hamilton's Martin Canning is sent-off for clipping Cillian Sheridan's heels. Penalty for Celtic.
1438: Andreas Hinkel collects Caldwell's long ball and forces Tomas Cerny into a superb save.
1436: Richard Offiong almost outpaces Gary Caldwell, but Mark Brown races from his line to claim the ball.
"Gary Caldwell just doesn't look happy today. Don't know if he's tired, but he's having a lot of problems." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Jim Duffy
1435: Andreas Hinkel sends a cross high into the Hamilton penalty area - food and drink for the Accies' defence.
1434: Richard Offiong almost grabs his and Hamilton's second, but sees his header cleared for a corner. Celtic are looking rattled at New Douglas Park.
1431: Gary Caldwell threads a ball through the packed midfield towards team-mate Shaun Maloney, but it drifts harmlessly through to Hamilton goalkeeper Tomas Cerny.
Just over half an hour played in the first half and Hamilton are looking comfortable.
1429: There's mischief afoot in our player rater. Celtic's Mark Wilson and Cillian Sheridan (10) are the top players, according to your votes.

1425: Hamilton are growing in confidence after their early goal and Celtic manager Gordon Strachan's looking far from happy in the dugout.

1422: "Great goal from Offiong!" totalsplforum on My Sport
That was Offiong's second league goal of the season. You won't see too many better headed goals this weekend.
1420: Celtic goalkeeper Mark Brown berates his defence after McArthur is given space and time to fire a shot just over the bar.
The hosts are in the ascendency at New Douglas Park.
1417: GOAL
Hamilton 1-0 Celtic
Richard Offiong heads the hosts in front. The ball is played wide to Trent McClenahan and his beautiful cross is powered home by Offiong past the helpless Mark Brown.
A cracking header! Once again, Hamilton take the lead at home against the Old Firm. Can they hold on to secure maximum points this time?
1416: "To all the Rangers fans hoping for an Accies result today, I hope they aren't already relying on other teams to win the league for them. Still a long way to go, and at this stage the focus should be on their own team." GlasgowJambo1987 shoots from the hip on My Sport
1414: Martin Canning dispossesses Shaun Maloney and in a swift counter-attack Celtic full-back Andreas Hinkel is forced to clear for a corner.
The hosts can't make their set-piece count and it remains goalless after a fairly cagey opening 12 minutes.
1412: Celtic's Shaun Maloney embarks on a spearing run towards the Hamilton box, but a swarm of red and white jerseys block his path and the danger is cleared.
1410: Richard Offiong sends a shot fizzing just over Mark Brown's crossbar. Great play again from Accies.
1408: Hamilton midfielder James McCarthy's beautiful flick almost sends Richard Offiong clear. Some nice movement there from the hosts in their first foray into Celtic territory.
1406: Sheridan sends in a shot from the edge of the area that's comfortably saved by Cerny.
1405: Nakamura sends in a wicked cross from the left-hand side which Cillian Sheridan is inches away from collecting.

1403: We're under way at New Douglas Park.
1358: "No pressure on the Tic whatsoever. They should skoosh it by 6 or 7... right?? C'mon the Accies!" Delbear on My Sport Join the debate

1331: "Pele v Maradona? Easy one. Pele only played the ball with his feet and head." HonestIbrox on My Sport
1328: "I think we might find it tough today, nine victories on the trot so we are due a slip up, and it's inevitable that it will come at the hands of one of the weaker SPL teams." Bob Loblaw on My SportJoin the debate
1323: TEAM NEWS
Celtic striker Scott McDonald is unavailable today through illness. Who will Gordon Strachan play up front? Will Cillian Sheridan and the fit-again Georgios Samaras get the nod?
1317: A quick round-up of predictions from all you sages on My Sport .
Yo-Ho-Ho believes Celtic will win 3-0; rangersfcwrestling is going for Hamilton by the odd goal and Hoopylad predicts 3-1 to the visitors.
The pundits on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound are having a debate about who is the greatest player to have graced football: Maradona or Pele. Great stuff!
1312: "I have a feeling Hamilton could do what St Mirren did to Rangers and sneak victory after holding out for a long time." Pedro_Mendes_Loyal on My Sport
I wonder if Diego Maradona will be heading to New Douglas Park? He touched down at Glasgow Airport about an hour ago, and my colleague David McDaid described chaotic scenes as journalists jostling to speak to the new Argentina manager.
Of course, Maradona will lead his side for the first time in Wednesday's friendly against Scotland at Hampden.
1255: Good afternoon one and all. Shake yourself free of the duvet and get ready for this afternoon's SPL action. League leaders Celtic travel to New Douglas Park to face basement side Hamilton Accies.
Gordon Strachan's side will be looking to re-establish a four-point lead over Old Firm rivals Rangers, while Billy Reid's men are looking for their first league win in six attempts.
Can Accies upset the apple cart and claim maximum points?
