00:00Full time here at Ibrox in the first 0-3 derby of the season.
00:05It is Rangers 0, Celtic 0.
00:07Again, really devoid on quality in both boxes, to be completely honest.
00:12It looked like Rangers had the lead in the first half
00:15when John Suter headed home from a really good cross from James Taveney,
00:19or free kick, sorry, but it was disallowed, incorrectly disallowed for offside.
00:23He's marginally a couple of inches offside.
00:26The second half, largely the same as the first,
00:29so there's plenty of endeavour from both sides.
00:31I think Rangers potentially, you could say,
00:32seeing a little bit more of the ball.
00:34When Ibarron, I thought, had a good return to the start of the XI battle,
00:38but it continued to be completely devoid of quality,
00:41and it looked like two teams really low on confidence.
00:44The first shot on target came with 60th minute, so we re-oved Pate.
00:48Celtic had a couple of half chances after that,
00:51mainly through Benjamin Negrin, but if I'm being completely honest,
00:54it was a game with really no chances,
00:56and a bit of a damp scrub in many ways.
01:00Both sides will want to perform better in the weeks ahead.
01:03Celtic walked back to the top of the table on all different head-of-hearts yesterday,
01:07and Rangers are still looking for their first win,
01:10and they finished the month in sixth ahead of in a national break.
01:15Russell Martin booed off by large sections of the Rangers support at the end there.
01:18It's a tough couple of weeks for him,
01:21and a big, big deadline date tomorrow.
01:24But that's all.
