00:0075 in the whole game in midweek it's a very different story Rangers are on top
00:07but such things can change quickly in this derby one things but it's clear
00:16Chris Celtic have to do an awful lot more yeah they've been really sluggish in
00:21the first half and Brendan Rodgers will be demanding more as the guys have said
00:26we said first off the wide players very very little and then Balik Wisher a lot
00:30made about his signing and bringing that energy I think Brendan just said that
00:34before the game he'd bring energy
00:40Kassama making great strides to try and get to that
00:45I mentioned today was the first time Celtic didn't have a shot in the first half of
00:50a Premiership game since 2018 against Ross County they did win that game 1-0 with
00:56a late goal from Lee Griffiths we shall see how this second half pans out
01:01see an eight sees off Kassama
01:20flipped on by Hattate for Balikwisha no changes yet from Celtic but Yang and Forrest are on the bench
01:27I think Rangers got lucky there they just didn't take that and he tried to knock it first time and almost
01:35broke Celtic's opportunity of that counter-attack he takes it in there I think Rangers in a wee bit of bother
01:40he had the fewest touches of any player in that first half
01:58and J.D. Kassama, the second half, he hasn't played much football this season for Girona
02:10you say Rangers biggest threat this season has been Kassama needs to see more of the ball
02:15more taking that on
02:27no real threat
02:30to Schmeichel's goal
02:33I think it would have been asking he's uh
02:35side in at half time just to remain calm do keep doing what they're doing
02:40try and break that dead deadlock and then see what happens after that but
02:44I mean they have been relatively comfortable with the back Rangers which can't be said too often this season
02:51it's the first time in 16 league derbies that it's been 0-0 at half time
02:58Rangers won the last one in 2021
03:00Philippe Alanda
03:02the winner Diamande will pick this up
03:09Magoma
03:20Magoma's on his way
03:22and he deliver across
03:24he did for Kieran Tierney first two
03:30he did for Kieran Tierney first two
03:33Mikey Moore
03:37McGregor now for Hattate
03:40some of these men in hoops need to up their game considerably
03:53he did for Kieran Tierney first two
03:54he did for Kieran Tierney first two
03:56he did for Kieran Tierney first two
03:58he did for Kieran Tierney first two
03:59he wrote Kieran Tierney first two
04:06Bralez Palwse
04:08Baloch Whisher
04:09for his Celtic debut
04:11Osama
04:13now Conor Barron
04:15Shratch by Baloch Whisher
04:20So back
04:22for the earlier challenge
04:22ago
04:23first two
04:24we're back for the earlier challenge
04:27Goma
04:30Nikram tried to foul him
04:33Baron, Asgard
04:39Just sparing away from Gascon
04:43That's sloppy, really sloppy from Asgard
04:46Rangers out of the traps in this second half
04:49Gotta say Celtic in those forward areas
04:51There's been absolutely zero combination
04:56The understanding between the front three just isn't there
04:59Yeah, I think he's got to change it, Brendan Rodgers
05:04Because this is as poor as I've seen Celtic play
05:06Negan looks really uncomfortable
05:09And now Magoma looks like he's fancying little runs at him as well
05:12Out in that wide left position for Rangers
05:14But on the other side, Barakwisha just looks disinterested at times
05:17That's soft, that's really soft, I'll tell you what
05:22Brendan Rodgers can't believe it
05:26Jason Maida, would've been 1v1
05:29Change of mind, Chris, no?
05:35No, come on, big boy like that rolling around
05:38I've seen you do that a few times, big man
05:40Tavania
05:49Tate with the challenge allowing Barakwisha and now Tierney
05:57To start something
06:00Celtic's performance has been that flat really
06:09Rangers players should be smelling blood here
06:11Yeah, you're right, I mean this is a wonderful opportunity
06:16It's been such a poor start for Rangers
06:18You're not going to get many bigger opportunities than this against Celtic
06:22Three draws so far for Rangers in the Premiership
06:27Last time they failed to win their first three league matches in a season
06:35Was back in 1989
06:36But Graeme Soules went on to win the title that season
06:40And now he's taken out Barakwisha and this is going to be a handy free kick for the Champions
06:55Taking it quick
06:56Taking it quick
06:57Tate straight to Buttenham
06:59Yeah, they got on it right away Celtic
07:03It's something that they used to do is under Poster Coglu
07:06Just get down to get it moving and a better ball from Atate
07:09And Maeda had made a little front post run
07:12Ingles through to Maeda
07:16And Celtic find a way into this game
07:20It's been a fairly abject performance from them so far
07:25Kata Vikas making good progress
07:36Hatate takes over
07:38Ingles
07:44Negrin's cross met by Tavernier
07:50Ingles down
07:51Mioski with a little flick
07:54He's waiting for others to catch up Kusama
08:00Mioski and AsgÄrd have
08:02He's seen Otini
08:04JD Kusama
08:06At scales it came off
08:08And it's plucked out of the air by Smogl
08:11And really good from Kusama you know
08:13Stands Kieran Tierney up
08:15Kieran Tierney looks like he just tried to muscle him
08:17And he just bounces off him
08:19Just getting towards that six yard line
08:21Just trying to whip it in there
08:22But I tell you it's really good defending from
08:24Liam scales up
08:25Really good defending
08:26I just honestly can't see for the life my wife Brendan Rodgers hasn't gone already
08:32I know John Kennedy's now moved out into the technical area maybe having a conversation that Selton need to inject some enthusiasm into the game
08:38Some purpose and a little bit of thrill
08:40Raging in the wings to put it on the wing
08:44Here's Maida though
08:46Here's Maida though
08:48Pitches aside the challenger
09:16Pitches aside the challenger
09:18Diamande
09:22The ball back
09:24Turn around and play backwards and sideways
09:28Engels
09:38One of many who needs to do more
09:40Negrin
09:42Patate
09:44Varon closed in on him
09:46Negrin
09:48Negrin
09:58I mentioned Graham's seen this a moment ago
10:00And he's taking the game in today
10:04As indeed is Alex Ferguson always good to see him
10:10Looking well
10:18Never said it was good to see him when I used to have to interview him
10:20I don't think
10:28What a way with that didn't he Schmeichel
10:30It sounds like a summer
10:32I don't know
10:34Don't know
10:36I can't
10:38Oh
10:40the ball there in midfield
10:49yeah Diomondi has gone down with Arne Engels
10:52it was well off the ball as well because the ball was down here in the left corner
10:56they've gone at it all afternoon haven't they
11:00you can see there Engels trying to make a forward run
11:05Diomondi saying no you're going nowhere pulls him back
11:07he'll be lucky not to get a yellow
11:09just saying
11:17give it time Ian, give it time
11:21go away
11:29you
11:32interesting isn't it the Greg Taylor effects that he had on Celtic going in
11:53slotting in alongside
11:55MacGregor in that midfield getting that extra body in there
11:59just not that that same balance in the team with Kieran Tierney coming back
12:08Suta
12:19Nielski just glanced away by
12:23the Ibrox reaction to a corner
12:26yeah I'm just looking at Bojan Majofsky he's giving a big thumbs up because he just loves that type of pass
12:32it takes a little dip in and then just rolls round just trying to get down the outside of
12:37Liam Scales he's had a really good debut for Rangers
12:41Rangers 5-0 up on corners they'd quite like to go 1-0 up on goals
12:56Tavenier sends it swirling in Asgard trying to make decent contact
13:03Tavenier
13:05wanting to fend off Alec Wisher but did so rapidly and those two had a little tangle afterwards
13:11Tavenier
13:18Tavenier
13:20Tavenier
13:22Tavenier
13:23Tavenier
13:24Tavenier
13:25Tavenier
13:26Tavenier
13:27Tavenier
13:28Tavenier
13:29Tavenier
13:30Tavenier
13:31Tavenier
13:32Tavenier
13:33Tavenier
13:34Tavenier
13:35Tavenier
13:36Tavenier
13:37Tavenier
13:38Tavenier
13:39Tavenier
13:40Tavenier
13:41Migrant
13:44They've been so negative
13:46Celtic annoyed that they played even the ball goes into her tattoo how many times do we see him get on the half-turn and try and
13:52Play forward everything has come back
13:54You
14:09It's gonna have to deal with that
14:14Yeah, I just wonder well Jack Buckland can race out and just
14:18Gather that one in but no chance of taking this team by Ziga talk about it when the ball's safe
14:30But a question
14:33That's I take up the cross in but it's
14:48Engels
14:51And some room
14:53Sticks with button
14:55Just worked a bit of space there
14:57That's a
14:59Shot on target from Celtic
15:05Look at them
15:07Has gone
15:18First effort on target from Celtic with almost an hour played in the derby
15:30Wasn't about to trouble Butler much
15:48We've reached the hour mark and still no sign of a change from Brendan Rodgers
15:59I mean I've just got to think that I'll be
16:03Happening pretty soon but
16:05Talking about the lack of
16:07Threats from the wide players of Celtic
16:09So often as you said Chris about Celtic midfielder getting a half-turn but so often you see the threat coming from a central midfielder breaking the line
16:17We haven't even seen that today
16:23I've got five subs warming up
16:26Really good Mioski
16:28He's prepared to take that he's got a physicality about I know he's not
16:32Massively built and it looks like a big powerhouse, but it gets his body in between ball and man
16:39In fairness, this is look Rangers biggest threat hasn't at the set play. Yeah
16:47This is Suta
16:53Suta
16:54but it scored in the first half just off side
16:58Waiting again
17:00Tabaner to ask the question again, away by Tierney,
17:09clipped in here by Jiga, Diambande ready to return it,
17:15Vickers is there to meet her,
17:21Mioski might get a glimpse here, trying to set up Nike more.
17:25Can you let that Dortmund just hit it?
17:27I thought he was just going to let it come over his shoulder,
17:30I've seen him do it before and just swing the left foot at it,
17:33but he's just trying to pop it off there to make it move.
17:36That's exactly what I was thinking,
17:38I wonder whether Kieran Tierney may have got round.
17:42Yeah, maybe.
17:45Rodgers is about to make a triple change,
17:50maybe a double change actually,
17:52poor Maths from me there.
17:54And a Rangers corner again.
18:03Tabaner hoisty and high, but that's an easy one for Kasper Schmeichel.
18:07Oh God, no!
18:08No!
18:09No!
18:10No!
18:11No!
18:12No!
18:13No!
18:16Here's Negrin.
18:18There's got to be a cricket for Barbarian Moore,
18:22and the first yellow card of this derby is coming out.
18:27And Mikey Moore.
18:29I'm working more
18:33I think there's a bit of naivety here
18:39Knee grin just gets his body in more goes to ground
18:48I don't think he can have any complaints with that
18:50James Forrest and Shin Yamada are about to come on for Celtic but first a free kick
19:08but Celtic could finally have something to offer here
19:12and that would be fairly typical of the champions on a day like this
19:22Negron to float it in Carter Vickers stretching
19:26McGregor back in and the overhead from Tierney is collected by Butlund and Bojan Mioski looking to
19:35benefit here as Ralston takes it away from his own keeper
19:40for a second there
19:42That was a calamity waiting to happen there you know
19:45I'm not sure at Ralston sees him but he deals with it
19:51Here comes Shin the latest in a long line of Japanese players
19:56to be involved in the old firm
19:59Anna Engels has offered little today he's not been alone on that front
20:04he's going off so is Barak Wisher and James Forrest comes on for his 33rd
20:10whole firm Celtic's most decorated player
20:14Negron will just come on the inside for us
20:19in that right
20:20win position and days are made at that battle against James Tavenier seen a few of them over the years
20:26is
20:51the
20:52Katavikas, Ralston
20:57Sinter, quickly on to Shin
21:05Tavernier
21:10Rangers fans a little worried by that sequence
21:16and might be worried now, James Forrest
21:19for Rio Hattate
21:21A tall game hasn't he, player with normally such great quality
21:41Shin, who is quick, is racing towards Butland
21:49Diamondi's had a couple on Negrim in the last minute
22:23just a wee bit late there, I think that's an accumulation of fouls for Diamondi
22:27rather than just that one
22:30It's daft really isn't it because he puts himself under pressure now
22:36Yeah
22:43The card for
22:46System fouling
22:52Shin
22:54It's reached Miner
22:58Tavernier seem to lose the trail
23:00Tierney
23:02Negrim
23:04Tate
23:06Tate
23:08Tate
23:10Tate
23:12Tate
23:14Tate
23:16Tate
23:18And that's a goal cut
23:20Tate
23:21Tate
23:23Tate
23:24Tate
23:25Tate
23:26Tate
23:28Tate
23:29Tate
23:29Tate
23:30Tate
23:31Tate
23:32Tate
23:33Tate
23:36just try talking to each other guys
23:41I tell you there was a crunching tackle
23:45that Conor Barron had to make on Hattati
23:47edge of the box as well
23:48I know the guys mentioned him at half time but
23:50he's just been streets ahead
23:52in terms of his
23:54industry and there, his fire
23:56his capability to see things
23:59the streets ahead of what's been
24:01before in Rangers
24:02he's offered so much more protection to the back
24:05two, in particular centre-backs
24:07Tavernier
24:15Krasovic is ahead of Mijoski
24:19Mijoski might do well to last for much longer
24:27having hardly played for Girona
24:29Odessa's is on the bench
24:35Kieran Tierney
24:49himself hasn't lasted 90 minutes
24:57but has popped around the 75 mark in the last couple
25:01nursing him through it aren't they Kieran Tierney
25:08that's not ideal for Brendan Rodgers
25:10Shin
25:15I don't know why Gigi could get so tight there Neil
25:22allows Shin to feel him and use his body and roll him
25:26yeah he's just been rolled too easily
25:28Dice
25:30Dice and Mijoski
25:31Dice and Mijoski are not getting to that
25:32and Rangers are about to make a double change
25:34which will see the arrival of Cyril Dessas
25:37and Oliver Antman shortly
25:40but it is a corner
25:42before all of that happens as we enter the last 20 minutes
25:46going to be a debut for Marcelo Siracchi as well
25:58in place of Tierney
25:59Celtic have their first corner of the derby
26:04can they make it count
26:05Negrin sends it in
26:07flipped away by Moore
26:08and booted away by Sutar
26:11so both teams are waiting for changes
26:33Forrest
26:36Thribbing it through for Shin
26:39He's unlucky there James Forrest
26:43saw the run early from Shin
26:44nearly played it into his stride
26:48Yeah I think I think it's down to Celtic's intention
27:01Chris to be honest
27:02it looked a little bit sharper than Forrest
27:03and Shin's come on to the pitch
27:06So Kieran Tierney is replaced
27:10and there's a Celtic debut for Marcelo Siracchi
27:13the Uruguayan left back on loan from Boca Juniors
27:15Puckers and a fire
27:18although must be used to a few derbies like this
27:22in Argentina
27:24as Rangers make a double change
27:26the Oski and Moore
27:28they're away
27:31and on come
27:32Cyril Dessis
27:33who is well versed in this derby
27:35and Oliver Antman
27:37who isn't
27:38Dessis scored here in May
27:45Arlston
28:06For Aston, it's gone out.
28:30Nagomo will take this throw, Asghar, it's a good turn.
28:34Not a great shot.
28:36And Smeichol prevents the corner.
28:48Raston does get a go-kick.
28:55Marshall Martin has only won three of his first ten games in charge
28:59to a start by a Rangers manager.
29:01Asghar needs checking out.
29:05And though the Rangers have been on top, then they're not going to be able to get a go-kick.
29:09They're not going to be able to get a go-kick.
29:11They're not going to be able to get a go-kick.
29:13They're going to be able to get a go-kick.
29:15Asghar needs checking out.
29:27And though the Rangers have been on top, then...
29:29Let's try to find that balance, Ian, you know, by being a threat and leaving yourself a bit open at the back,
29:36they're going to be a bit more solid, but you would expect them to have carved out something of note.
29:42Yeah, it's not the rust ball we expected to see.
29:45Nedim Bairami is going to replace Tello Asghar, we think.
30:00Bairami.
30:01But for the most part, I think the Rangers fans would have expected a bit more from his time here.
30:15Yeah, I mean, it's one of those frustrating ones because he's come with a bit of a price tag.
30:20He's certainly a player that can affect the game, but he just hasn't shown enough.
30:26And I'll tell you, Ian, he's got thunder in that boot, that right boot of his.
30:31And I've seen it in his own eyes, but it just doesn't affect the game enough in what his ability suggests that he should.
30:43He did score a great goal in his last appearance, actually, against Alola in the League Cup.
30:50He did score a great goal in the League Cup.
30:52We're into the final quarter of an hour, and the search for a goal goes on on Derby Day.
30:59Antman.
31:17Antman.
31:19Arame.
31:21Antman.
31:22And into Atate.
31:24Antman.
31:30Used his body well there, Shin.
31:33Suter all over him.
31:35Good strength.
31:39Both centre-backs have a little bite at him when he's gone short.
31:43Here's Negan.
31:47Always dipping away.
31:54Right before without a win.
31:58And Derby Day for Brendan Rodgers.
32:01Only lost one of his first 20 of these derbies.
32:05But it's become harder work lately.
32:08Not a Vickers will have to deal with this, as does us.
32:20How many times do you see it?
32:22Centre-backs running back, just feeling the contact and just lying on the ball.
32:27So frustratingly at a follow-up.
32:28Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
32:32Here's the ball.
32:33I'm working on the game, I'm working on the game.
32:36The Gillma.
32:45Thepping is fast to Scales, it's heavy.
32:47He's got to adapt.
32:50He's got to adapt.
32:51He'll be brought back for the free-kick, the foul on Scales.
32:56He got lucky, didn't he?
32:59Got away with that Kasper Schmeichel.
33:11Ralston.
33:13Negrin.
33:19Maida.
33:21Negrin blocked by Barron.
33:26Znarche with a cross.
33:28James Forrest took it down.
33:30Just kicked in check.
33:33Cameron McGregor.
33:37Forrest.
33:42A goal-kick.
33:44Took their time to make their mind up, didn't they?
33:47But a brilliant defender from Diamante.
33:48There's another Ole Firm next Sunday, this time in the SWPL.
33:55Celtic take on Rangers from 3 o'clock on Sky Sports Football.
34:00Plenty more to come today.
34:02The mouth-watering prospect of Liverpool against Arsenal from 4.
34:06And there's a Sunday evening game as well, as Aston Villa hosts Crystal Palace.
34:12That's the rest of the day sorted for us.
34:14He's done all right, hasn't he, Diamante, he's been aggressive.
34:23He's done all right, hasn't he, Diamante?
34:24He's done all right, hasn't he, Diamante, he's been aggressive.
34:29He's done all right, hasn't he, Diamante, he's been aggressive.
34:40He has.
34:41Him and Connor Barron have been excellent in the in-general.
34:44He's done all right, hasn't he, Diamante, he's done all right, hasn't he, Diamante, he's been aggressive.
34:49hari.
35:00Goodbye.
35:08I didn't.
35:10Yeah.
35:13I just wondered when Negrin
35:16got faced up there, days in Maida, James Tavernier, possibility of a foot race, Maida didn't
35:27make the run.
35:30Conor Barron's holding his hamstring, that'd be up to the Rangers for him to go off.
35:38Well he's certainly got himself noticed on his first start of the season, Conor Barron.
35:46Joe Rothwell will be coming on to replace him.
35:54Rothwell who won promotion to the Premier League with Russell Martin at Southampton and went
35:59and did it again with Leeds United last season.
36:02Finlay Curtis also there who's come on to great effect, scoring three goals this season, scored
36:11in his last two.
36:16So it's Joe Rothwell for Conor Barron, and JD Kusama will be replaced by Finlay Curtis
36:31who will look to make its mark again, the 19-year-old getting a first taste of this derby.
36:37Rothwell just slow in there beside Diomondi, and finally Curtis for Kusama, but I think
36:46probably Supper coming out of this right side today.
36:49free kick brings tension all around Ibrox.
37:08It's Negrin to float it in, will they get a break of the ball Celtic?
37:12No they don't, but they're having a go now.
37:22I think Karavikas has done his hamstring there, I'm not sure how it happened but he's not moving very well.
37:28Here's Forrest, James Forrest, it's a heavy pass for Negrin.
37:41Do you know what though, it's one of the first time we've seen one of the Celtic wide men actually drive at a full-back.
37:47Just a tall pass, Karavikas is okay actually, he often moves like that doesn't he?
37:55Yeah, he was just rubbing that right hamstring, I don't know, it looked like he'd been fired out of cannon trying to get on the end of the cross but I just wondered where he'd pulled his hamstring.
38:03And Rangers make it happen for themselves, it's blocked by Karavikas.
38:21There you go, wide player being popped into the other shift, taking that away from Charleston.
38:27James Tavernier will take this corner.
38:39Rangers hoping this is their moment.
38:51Captain Tavernier sends it in, it's apparently defended, but it will come back to Tavernier.
38:59Quite so good that time, Dyson Maira onto it.
39:03Shin is going some, James Forrest is going to make it awkward as well.
39:08And he had to, he just cleaned out Shin right enough but if it was a foot race then there's only one winner.
39:17But when it bounced up I thought he had a second bite out of the Diamante again, making sure he was cleaning up the mess.
39:23Well, Jack Buckland has heard himself kicking that one out and Don Robertson has spotted as much.
39:32I didn't see it at the time your eyes caught that one.
39:35Nah, nothing in that. Nothing in that, seeing he's been caught by Maeda.
39:40What has happened to goalkeepers? Dear me.
39:46Liam Kelly, who played in a couple of old firms last season.
39:56Luke McCowan is going to be thrown on by Celtic for the closing stages in place of Rayo Hatate.
40:05It's going to be an anxious, edgy, tense finale in the pursuit of a goal.
40:18Finlay Curtis, I think that might be a foul from Siracchi.
40:23He's done well with a young Finlay Curtis, only a young lad but he knows exactly what he's doing there.
40:28Making sure he's just going to get in front.
40:30And Rangers' biggest threat has come from? Yep.
40:34Set plays, it's just a really stupid foul to give away.
40:39It's James Tavernier as Rangers hope to see a blue shirt get on the end of it, but Hatate puts it behind.
41:04Still another corner though.
41:06In just eighth corner.
41:19Highbrox holds its breath, waiting for this from Tavernier.
41:27And the breaker sends it back.
41:31Tavernier tries again.
41:33Maida clears.
41:35Dairami, four, straight to Shin.
41:39Dairami.
41:40Dairami.
41:41Dairami.
41:42Dairami.
41:43Dairami.
41:44Dairami.
41:45Dairami.
41:46Dairami.
41:47Dairami.
41:48Dairami.
41:49Dairami.
41:50Dairami.
41:51Dairami.
41:52Dairami.
41:53Dairami.
41:54Dairami.
41:55Dairami.
41:56Dairami.
41:57Dairami.
41:58Dairami.
41:59Dairami.
42:00Dairami.
42:01By Rami.
42:03That's a lovely back heel from the Curtis.
42:07Well done.
42:09In his case,
42:11there's some proper challenges going in now and a yellow card.
42:15Coming here for Masajiga.
42:19Yeah, no question this is a yellow third time that Shin's been tagged from behind.
42:31Numerous times Suterjiga getting too tight and this was the penalty claim.
42:38Reza Maeda gets his body in.
42:41Nothing in that.
42:52Third Rangers player to be booked as Celtic make that change.
42:58Air Tati being replaced by Luke McCowan who comes on for the 250th game of his career.
43:05His first was for Air United against Clyde back in 2017.
43:10Bit different today.
43:12The closing stages of the Derby.
43:15Since 1998.
43:27There's only been one draw in the first league derby of a season.
43:31That was back in 2002.
43:333-3.
43:34The equaliser from Chris Sutton.
43:37Brilliant goal as well.
43:41Absolutely.
43:42Out of jail.
43:43Out of jail.
43:44Out of jail.
43:45I can't remember it at all.
43:53It's their time for a winner.
43:54The early indication by the way is that there's only going to be three minutes added on which appears a bit strange.
43:59My dad.
44:00I mean.
44:01Scales has a look to see where Das is is.
44:03That was a bit miss.
44:04My goodness.
44:05Brendan Rogers.
44:06He's absolutely furious with that from Schmeichel.
44:09Scales has a look to see where Dessas is.
44:20That was a mere miss.
44:23Brendan Rodgers.
44:26He's absolutely furious with that from Schmeichel.
44:33Rothwell, Suter, after their European embarrassments midweek.
44:40Are the old firm going to serve up a nil-nil for a change? Doesn't happen very often.
44:47Rothwell, maybe not, got his flat footed by Rami's pass.
44:56I lack understanding but why not just get that out of your feet and get at somebody 1v1
45:02in the penalty box yourself.
45:05I think he would have ripped a draw off you today before the game.
45:12Not sure about Brendan Rodgers though.
45:15He's coming to the end of the 90.
45:31Still nil-nil.
45:32Confirmation of the level will be just three extra minutes added on.
45:40His shin though.
45:50Neither side will want to lose it now but both sides will want to win it now.
45:55Forrest.
45:59The way by Magoma.
46:12Not been a nil-nil between these teams since 2017.
46:15Not been one here since 2011.
46:18It's been a goal, at least one in the last 36 derbies.
46:28Running out of time for one today.
46:31I'm not sure if we're going to see one.
46:33Just given the fact that Rangers haven't had a shot on target yet.
46:36And Celtic haven't looked really dangerous either.
46:39The way by Scales.
46:40Finlay Curtis.
46:41Rothwell.
46:42Into the path of Magoma.
46:44Here's Antlund.
46:45The way by Scales.
46:46Finlay Curtis.
46:47Rothwell.
46:48Into the path of Magoma.
46:49Here's Antlund.
46:50Ralston is onto that.
46:51Half way through stoppage time.
46:53Now.
46:54Now.
46:55Can I get recovered?
46:56Diamande.
46:57Diamande.
46:58Diamande's cross screened by Carter Vickers.
46:59And a counter Jiga.
47:00Alston is on to that, half way through stoppage time, now Diomande, Diomande's cross screened
47:20by Carter Vickers, come to Giga.
47:28Hoisted high by Butland, sent back in his direction by Carter Vickers, the final minutes of the
47:44first derby this season.
47:46Yeah, I think truth is, it's been a derby of dross, hasn't it, two average teams.
47:56Neither have done enough to win the game.
48:03Well, if Rangers fancy their first win of this premiership season, it has to happen about
48:12now, Tavernier.
48:19Schmeichel.
48:21I mean, Hearts will be happy with this result today, won't they, they're sitting at home
48:28at the top of the league.
48:29Champions in waiting, huh?
48:31Tony Bloom might be just right, you know.
48:35And it does end 0-0 after a dreadful week and a fairly miserable month.
48:42On the final day of the month, neither Rangers or Celtic were able to come up with a goal.
48:49John Suter did find the net, but he was offside.
48:51They're both hoffed and parked without finding much in the way of attempts on target.
48:57And it will be deemed as one of the more disappointing derbies despite the frantic nature of it.
49:07And the Rangers owners start with four successive draws in the premiership.
49:14Russell Martin, a man under pressure, a man under fire.
49:18Amazed to be seeing what they do about him because from day one the fans have never really been having him.
49:26And Brendan Rodgers has now failed to win any of his last four derbies.
49:32The last Celtic manager that happened to was Gordon Strachan.
49:37Your final fours today, guys, starting with you, Neil.
49:41I think Russell Martin will be pleased with a point.
49:44A lot of Rangers fans coming in here would have been dreading this match,
49:48feeling it was going to be another heavy defeat.
49:50But it's trying to find a balance for Russell Martin right now in this Rangers team.
49:53Real big disappointment not to have any shots on target.
49:57That's a concern.
49:58But again, you're not conceding any real opportunities which will please them.
50:03So, yeah, all in all for Rangers, I think they'll go off here quite pleased with a point.
50:09And I think from Brendan Rodgers' perspective, he'll say that's, you know, a decent point.
50:14The team never did well enough to, or did enough to win the game.
50:18And they just looked short in that final third Celtic.
50:22A lethargic performance, a point to Ibrox.
50:25To do in this 24 hours in terms of bringing new players in, freshen things up, especially at the top of the pitch.
50:37Well, we had a manager under pressure, boards feeling the heat, draws galore for Rangers.
50:42And that was before the game even started.
50:49And the game itself turned into a rare disappointment despite its frantic nature.
50:55But maybe, just maybe, it's what both teams actually needed.
51:00The final score at Ibrox on Derby day.
