00:00Makes his first alteration, Danilo off at half-time, Jerry Gassama on in his place,
00:06the young Frenchman has been a bright spark for Rangers this season, one of the few.
00:13And this is now a major test of Danny Roll's management skills, Celtic heavy favourites
00:23from here to make it to the Premier Sports Cup final against Samirin.
00:30No chasers for Rangers.
00:39Just looking at the Rangers set up, it looks like it may well be.
00:44Chaser here for Tunechti who beats Giga, Sebastian Tunechti, across comes Suter once again to bail out his teammate.
00:52We'll get back to Rangers in a second there but you can look at that, straight ball, Giga not defending it well at all,
00:59yet again, John Suter has to bail him out but I'm just looking at it, at the set up, the start there, it looked like Tavernier was a lot higher,
01:07and it may well be that it's just a little bit more of a back four.
01:10with Giga playing that right side more predominantly, and Giga, sorry, Gassama and Tavernier in behind and wider of Chermiti who's through the middle.
01:24Angles, there's a lot on that and too much for Dyson Mayer to do anything with it.
01:31Yes, certainly you can see here that the bye kick as well, Tavernier is playing almost as a third midfielder.
01:44He thinks exactly what it is, he's going into midfield and Gassama's just up top alongside Chermiti.
01:58Tunechti, Sorancho went ahead of him, just needed to keep a hold of him before feeding scales and now Ralston.
02:06A few stinging tiger stripes on the inside of that thigh.
02:21A challenge from Telo Asgard that saw the Norwegians sent off in the first half.
02:28Giga's all over the place, all over the place.
02:32He's won that from Angles, now runs into the challenge of Mayda, it's McGregor that brings some calm.
02:42Max Arnens is obviously not exactly set the head of the like at Rangers but looking at options for that right back.
02:48Gaps in the range of defence again, Giga, Tunechti now and he couldn't quite wrap his foot around it.
03:00Good quick play down the left, they've got an overload, Negrin and Tunechti.
03:06I've got to say it's a great waiting pass from Negrin.
03:10Not sure Tunechti actually needed to jump.
03:13Giga's sliding in, doesn't get anywhere near it.
03:15I mean I'm looking at it and I'm thinking perhaps even get Tavernier back to right back and get another midfielder,
03:20out and out midfielder in there because Giga's not looked comfortable all afternoon.
03:25He's certainly not going to be any more comfortable playing as a right back.
03:28There's McGregor, the play will be stopped, in fact it will be a Rangers free kick,
03:37Nico Rasker goes back to his feet and then Tunechti has a thing or two to say about it.
03:43Oh well, that's a good shout actually, a good call from the ref.
04:00You can see, Tunechti didn't need to because Negrin was up challenging,
04:05Tunechti just jumped in and fouled Rasker.
04:09Skills and trusty go up together,
04:12and Polly flash well away from Kasama.
04:17Cornelius is down at the edge of the area, so they are asking for a delay.
04:22That's for the delay.
04:45Sirachi, Kenny looking to win beyond his first touch, there's Immaculate then Suter.
04:50Well Suter forced the save from Butland, Martin O'Neill is desperate for this second goal.
05:00Look at the gaping holes in that Rangers back line.
05:03Magoma does nothing to affect that at all, Jack Butland has to be bright to get a touch,
05:10I mean it's a nice first touch from Kenny, it just gives Suter an opportunity to get a flick on it though.
05:14But you know, Rangers have still got a back line in place, it's not as if they've altered and they're lacking in numbers there, but they're still wide open.
05:24And Magoma, he just never recognises the danger of it, he never falls round as a full back, he always leaves that channel open for the front men to exploit.
05:34It's Chimiti, it's behind Osama though, Ralston, Naida, into Engels.
05:43Now Raskane breaks on to it, draws the challenge and the foul from Ralston who is going to be yellow carded.
05:55That was good play from Raskane, he was alert to pick up the loose ball and then driving forward.
06:07Clearly a free kick and I think that one from Connor Ralston is just a top-up process rather than that one on its own.
06:16It's only 50,000 inside the National Stadium, split right down the middle.
06:32James Tamanir with the long throw towards Suter.
06:52A touch ahead of Magoma and racing onto this is Sirachi, Giga trying to keep up with him, the Uruguayan going shoulder-to-shoulder with Nasser Giga.
07:06And that's excellent walking back from Burkina Faso.
07:11Yeah, the credit where credit is due because he's got a lot of ground to cover and get back in and Nasser Giga does very well.
07:19Covering in there and closing down Sirachi.
07:25You can see even as the long shot was getting taken, Rangers had everybody up within probably 25 yards of the Celtic goal.
07:33And you think to yourself, if that ball drops to Maeda for example, they're in deep trouble because it comes a foot race at that point.
07:42I think the scales wasn't this much, won't go up again with Chirmiti.
07:50Raskan now, Gassama, Maeda working back, Celtic have to be careful here, Ralston got the shout eventually.
08:01Tabernier shot is blocked by Sirachi, Tunechti.
08:08Gaps again for Negren and Tunechti to look to exploit.
08:14Tunechti against Giga, has to turn back.
08:23Safety of McGregor, Engels, time and space to shoots.
08:30As he looked to curl that one into the far corner, he was not far away at all.
08:35That was good quick breaking from Celtic and they're getting the man over, space for Engels to, I think it's comfortably wide in the end, but he's got time to get the touch and size it up.
08:50That's a Giga, he gave a lot of space for Tunechti to go and run and say, OK, let's go 1v1, he eventually blocks it off, but you can see that Celtic always seemed to have a bit of space and an extra man there and eventually it drops the Engels on the edge of the box there.
09:08As I was saying before, he's got time to get a comfortable touch, size up the goal and he's missed the target, but you don't want to be giving guys that have too many opportunities on the edge of the box.
09:35He's got a good option to the Glasgow derby for Danny Roat, his opposite number, and it was all about it.
09:43Diamande, he's caught by Maeda.
09:49Cornelius, and back for Rangers, scrappy spell.
09:55Raskan looking for Chometheus, scales again to rise and the flag goes up against the striker.
10:01I'm just going to say, it's been a little bit scrappy from Celtic.
10:05You know, they're playing against ten men now, but it doesn't feel like they've got as much control of the game as before.
10:11Chometty just drifting slightly offside before the offside's been given, but Mark O'Neill will be a little bit concerned that they've not just been able to control this as much.
10:21It's not as if Rangers have done anything that you would say has forced them back into the game, but I think Celtic have been wasteful.
10:29Ralston all the way out to Tenechti on the far side. Tenechti looks for that reverse ball and the run of Kenny.
10:41Well, there's an interesting conversation between Giga and Tavernier currently going on.
10:48There's no communication. He cuts inside and he just lets them go. You can see Tavernier and Giga, they're both throwing their arms out as if to say what's happening.
10:59Celtic again, for me wasteful, they're not exploiting the gaps that are there.
11:14It's trusty again, and then Diamande caught on the chest, and it's going to be a card out for those in Maeda.
11:20The interesting thing is here, Maeda was actually blocked off by the referee originally.
11:32He wasn't able to get in and challenge properly and he's dangled a foot out, but just as the ball was coming, you can see he's having to go round the referee.
11:41He's caught him, you can understand the ref giving that, but Nick Walsh is in the way.
11:50Well, there were a few questions towards Nick Walsh from Tavernier and Raskan as to why that wasn't more and similar to Tello Asgard's,
12:01but I don't think it goes anywhere near the same level of danger as the Norwegian's red card.
12:06It's not, it's not. You know, I heard the guys obviously talking at half-time about trusty as well,
12:10and their absolute spot on it was stupid, and it gave officials an opportunity.
12:15I think if the referee had shown a red, it would not have been overturned.
12:19But I think a yellow was just about enough because it wasn't forceful.
12:25Tavernier, Engels with the header, Diamande on the edge, blocked by trusty, Diamande again.
12:30And then the strike from Magoma, Ciamiti!
12:35And Schreichel couldn't hold on to it, but Celtic scramble it away.
12:39The ten men of Rangers rallying here. They are.
12:42Diamande, space for Raskan.
12:46And towards the back post.
12:55Well, now the flag goes up. Casper Schmeichel is absolutely furious.
12:59You'll have heard the rattle of his studs on the post.
13:02Yeah, but he fumbles it at the near post under no pressure.
13:07And there's definitely a feeling of Rangers just working their way back into the game here.
13:15Raskan's clearly offside there, but that ball was probably out for a corner, for a back kick as well.
13:22But just before that, Schmeichel was under no pressure and he's fumbled it,
13:25and it just allowed that momentum to continue to build.
13:36Scales to Necti, his first touch straight to Chiga, Tavernier, Ciamiti, back to the Rangers captain.
13:47You know, up to this point, I wouldn't say that Rangers had done anything particularly brilliant,
13:52but that there for me, that moment there, shows you exactly what Danny Rome's looking to do.
13:57He's wanting to be aggressive here, he's not accepting sitting in and trying to just nick a goal.
14:03They're trying to pressurise Celtic there.
14:07Huge throw from James Tavernier and it will lead to a corner kick.
14:12And you're sensing an opportunity here.
14:14Yep, absolutely got it, you can hear the crowd.
14:17There's a clear tactic and dynamic and the Rangers set up the system.
14:24The two front men getting right up on top of the centre-halves there.
14:29Tavernier forcing pressure onto Sirachi as well.
14:37Tavernier takes, up goes Ralston.
14:39Commanding clearance and Diamandis going to come under serious pressure here.
14:44Made an exit.
14:46But Magoma is back as the last man for Rangers.
14:51Well, if Celtic are just a little bit sharper and on point with their play, there are going to be chances here for them.
15:01Because Rangers are really, as I've said, they're not sitting in here, they're looking to try and get themselves back into this game.
15:08Celtic have got to be calm and collected though.
15:11Ingles, Cornelius, knocks it clear.
15:14Tramiti and Ralston will have a hold of him.
15:26Sometimes as a defender I think they just need to recognise that you can't out-muscle the striker when he's in position like that.
15:31It's amazing when we talk about Celtic's dominance in Scotland.
15:39It all started with him a quarter of a century ago, Mark O'Neill came to Celtic Park from the year 2000, since then.
15:48Celtic have won 19 of the 25 titles, they've added 23 cups to that.
15:55O'Neill itself.
15:57Tramiti by the way, that's just silly, silly.
16:02O'Neill himself only won this competition once.
16:12Ralston.
16:14Cornelius Tavernier heads it on to De'Aaron, David Engels.
16:18Ensure that Celtic have it back.
16:26Celtic fans urging their players to show a bit more,
16:30show a bit more again to try and put this one to bed.
16:34A second goal would surely kill Rangers off with the ten men, but that's given away by Scales.
16:41Then McGregor, he will now be the latest player to be yellow carded.
16:46There's a wee bit of nervousness in the Celtic play here.
16:50I mean, Scales, no pressure, misplaces a five-yard pass and Cal McGregor's pulled Raskan down, otherwise he's brusting and breaking forward there.
16:59But yeah, there's definitely a sense that things have shifted slightly here, and the men are in blue and down to ten, feel like there's something for them.
17:12It doesn't look like ten against eleven in this last spell Rangers best of the match, you have to say.
17:21Maeda's header, Kenny and Tonecti will chase this, but it will go all the way through to Putland.
17:29It's Gamondi. Scales, well position.
17:43Look at how much more aggressive Rangers are, this is his ten men.
17:47And Celtic are, you know, for a lot of it, just not able to find those connections as well.
17:53Ralston looks long, and Engels untracked, Suter having to come across, Cornelius mumps up.
18:06It's Engels.
18:10Sort of preparing James Forrest for action.
18:17Tonecti in the meantime.
18:18Can't get his cross in, Giga does his job, it will be a Celtic corner though.
18:33James Forrest has won 22 of his 33 derbies.
18:37To go along with his 26 major honours.
18:46To go along with his 26 major honours.
18:48Tonecti as well.
18:52Tonecti.
18:55Whoop!
19:03Tonecti!
19:05Whop!
19:06Tonecti!
19:07Whoop!
19:08That's kept Rangers in it for now, Celtic not finished though, Ralston didn't get the angle he was wanting, Butlin puts it out for another corner.
19:19Well how crucial are that groove, quite incredible reactions there from Jack Butlin, header comes in at close quarters, it's down low, and he reacts so quickly.
19:35Negrin there, that's a brilliant save, it really is, he's got his hand down low, down at his feet, fantastic save from Jack Butlin, such a difficult position there, down at his feet.
19:56Angles to TK once more, Diomondi disorientated for a second.
20:10McGregor.
20:14Diomondi, there's Maeda.
20:16Oh that's good from Gasama, great feet.
20:21There's going to be another yellow card, Ernie Ingles this time, they are fairly totting up.
20:28Absolutely, I mean it's a yellow card every day of the week, again it's just wasteful play though from Celtic.
20:34Cal McGregor looking to get the ball in behind quickly, and you know it never ever looked like it was going to be coming off.
20:42And Diomondi does brilliantly, skips between a few players, and Engles wipes them out.
20:49Well that's now Ralston trustee, Engles, McGregor and Maeda, all in the group, Cornelius.
20:58It's the first time we've ever seen somebody playing football with plus fours, no worries.
21:05So Barney Newell's first change as James Forrest gets his final instructions from Sean Maloney.
21:17Sebastian Tenecti, the man to make way.
21:22He's just done it on so many occasions at this venue for Celtic in big games.
21:37Tavernier, Cornelius wins the header,
21:51Scales stabs it away, Diomondi is dipping but wide.
22:04The Rangers, they're the ones that look like they've got the extra man at times when the ball's up in Celtic's defensive third there.
22:13Dropping at the edge of the box and they had two men spare.
22:17Engles spotting the space, Maeda leaves it for Siracchi.
22:22That leaves the space for Martello, Siracchi gets a touch as well from Benjamin Negrin.
22:30I spoke about it before and it happens again, Tavernier sliding across Bojiga and the two of them leave it, the space inside.
22:38They're having words with each other again, you can see the two of them looking at each other.
22:42Tavernier's not impressed.
22:44He steps in, he's got so much space.
22:47Negrin, too much to...
22:51Just needed a little flick rather than a strong contact like that.
22:56But there's spaces for Celtic to explore and if they're a little bit sharper and a wee bit more precise then there's goals for them.
23:05But you feel like Rangers, it's eh, risk and reward for them at the moment really.
23:11Jermiti.
23:12Jermiti.
23:13Jermiti.
23:14Jermiti.
23:15Jermiti will be able to get that under control, he can.
23:20Rool's just looked at his bench and given the nod to Mikey Moore and Boyan Mijowski.
23:37Same intensity is not there from Celtic in this half, it certainly feels like it's dropped off a little bit.
23:50I think Rangers are doing a very good job out of possession
23:58the managers had 15 minutes there at halftime to change the system
24:03and discuss what they're looking to do
24:06and on the whole it's been not too bad so far
24:09Maeda, Sirachi continuing his run, pulls that back
24:13James Forrest!
24:16rattles the crossbar
24:17Kenny keeps it alive, Forrest again and this time he blazes it over the top
24:23Celtic millimetres away from finishing this all through Forrest
24:28well it's a good cut back in a dangerous area and Forrest
24:33that's a wonderful strike with his left boot
24:35off the crossbar and then not so great with his stronger right
24:42Rangers breathing a huge sigh of relief seeing this come off the crossbar
24:46Cornelius just tondering a little bit too long
24:54Kenny looked like he was maybe going to be able to
24:57nick in and get a strike on goal
24:59it all comes to nothing
25:00Rangers stalling the game
25:03also preparing a double change in the meantime here goes Gassama who I think just ran straight into Anthony Ralston who's come off second best
25:16Sirachi got there first but Giga was able to walk it away
25:30so will be Celtic that will make the first change
25:43Benjamin Negrin coming off for Rio Hattate and there's Calum Osman who got his debut against Falkirk with the final 14 minutes
25:55the 19 year old sign from Fulham will be coming on for Johnny Kenny the goal scorer
26:02Kenny the man who's made the difference so far but what a moment for Osman just his second appearance for the club
26:08as Mikey Moore also comes on along with Boyan Mijovski
26:09Boyan Mijovski
26:10Boyan Mijovski
26:11Boyan Mijovski
26:12Boyan Mijovski
26:15Boyan Mijovski
26:22Dude it's out there
26:24Namu any
26:30Usof Cirmiti the two to make way
26:34Boyan Mijovski incidentally who has
26:40who has scored three previous goals against Celtic,
26:46including here in the Scottish Cup semi-final for Aberdeen,
26:51that classic that went all the way to penalty shoot-outs.
27:04The Rangers midfielder doing a power of work,
27:06you can see Tavernier that side going and closing the field back down,
27:11on this side, Mikey Muir putting Ralston under pressure,
27:14but it does leave gaps, there's no doubt about it.
27:18Danny Rule's obviously decided it's a risk worth taking
27:22to try and force their way back into the game.
27:24Raskan pulls Siracchi down there because of exactly that,
27:28he knows that as Siracchi gets past him,
27:30he's charging through on the back line unopposed.
27:33Raskan carded.
27:37Raskan, up to Engels, he will pick up space now, Rangers outnumbered in there,
27:39Osmond just ran beyond.
27:40Raskan, up to Engels, he will pick up space now,
27:42Rangers outnumbered in there, Osmond just ran beyond.
27:44Moir now.
27:46Raskan, up to Engels, he will pick up space now,
27:49Rangers outnumbered in there, Osmond just ran beyond.
27:51Can't move to any more.
27:59Raskan.
27:59Reelsen, up to Engels, he will pick up space now.
28:02Ranger's outnumbered in there, Osmond just ran beyond.
28:05He's been good isn't he? Obviously a lot been made about the fact that he hadn't been playing this season
28:24and especially the game at Tynecastle, Martin O'Neill's two games he's been straight in
28:31and certainly this afternoon I've got to say he's looked good, he's looked comfortable and commanding
28:41Cameron Carter-Vickers against Sirachi, takes that in his stride, just left it behind Maeda
28:56Celtic just trying to exert a little bit of control here because if they're able to get control of the ball
29:03they're going to be able to stretch Rangers and Rangers are trying to make it chaotic
29:09which allows them to be able to win balls back
29:12Clamber from Hattate, Ralston to Forrest, Forrest picks out Hattate
29:18Rowan Butlin with a bit of a fumble but nobody was following it in
29:23Well it's good quick play from Celtic, they open up that space on the edge of the box for the cutback
29:28I think Butlin's just caught on his heels he's falling back as the strike's coming in
29:32but Henswey fumbles it a little bit there
29:42Miofsky with the flick on, Sirachi cushions it into the middle for Engels
29:48from McGregor to Ralston, Forrest ahead of him but he misses him out, Osman makes an excellent run
29:57It was a great pass, a good run from Osman
30:02you just start to get a sense and a feel that Celtic are getting the passes in
30:07they're stretching the game side to side
30:09Sirachi
30:11it's a goal taken by Butlin's
30:14as we are in to the final quarter of an hour
30:19still finally balanced
30:21but crucially Celtic with the goal and man advantage
30:49Cornelius
30:51for Miofsky
30:52Noor
30:53the run from Gassama who's in here
30:56Jenny Gassama bearing down on goal
30:58but look at that for a challenge
31:00from Liam Scales
31:02a goal saving intervention from the Irishman
31:05Well I tell you what, what a ball that is and he's onside no question
31:09and you're right, Liam Scales huge play
31:14perfectly timed because this is all or nothing at this point
31:19and it could well have been a bye kick actually
31:22I think perhaps Scales touches it on to Gassama
31:26I think that's what Schmeichel was complaining about
31:29that is such a vital tackle there from Liam Scales
31:34and look, we've had a couple of moments there where it feels like Celtic are starting to exert a little bit more control
31:40but at 1-0
31:42the game's still there for the
31:46the eh
31:48the Rangers team because
31:50a moment like that, quality
31:53sliding through on target and
31:56well that's very good, I mean that's
31:59that's a little bit too close for Celtic's liking I would imagine
32:021-0 up, down to
32:0410 men
32:07no doubt about it, shoots
32:09be a goal kick but Celtic will have a corner to face
32:12just as
32:13Marcello Siracchi gets back to his feet
32:15but Celtic are preparing to bring on
32:17Kieran Tierney, that will happen now
32:19as Siracchi heads off
32:22another impressive showing from him
32:26what a bad man to
32:30bring on
32:32he's going straight in to cover Raskan
32:38Tavernier
32:40head on its way through
32:42Forrest
32:44with Osman ahead of him
32:46Maeda's gone through the middle
32:48Osman looking to use Maeda's going through the middle
32:50Osman looking to use his pace but Magoma has plenty of that as well
33:04he's going through the middle
33:06and he's going through the touchline trying to encourage his team forward
33:20it's been a real physical challenge for them as I said not spent a lot of time on the ball in the first half chasing a lot going down to 10 men 1-0 down
33:32but second half performance you've got to say has been pretty good on the whole
33:36they've kept themselves in the game
33:38Raskan
33:42Tavernier
33:44Gasama goes round the outside
33:46Gasama the block comes in
33:48cries of handball
33:50penalty given
33:54it was Anthony Ralston
34:00who blocked it
34:02who has already been booked
34:04will there be further drama here
34:06well
34:08it's an on field decision
34:10penalty kick
34:12you just wonder what Nick Walsh is waiting for
34:14he's linesman who's way over on the far side telling him what to do
34:16let's have a look
34:24I'm not sure Rory
34:28the two players he's fallen down after the challenge where
34:30I'm not sure you can give that
34:32his arms tucked in at his side Rory
34:34his arms tucked in at his side
34:36he's fallen down after a challenge with the
34:38the Rangers player
34:40I'm really not sure you can give that
34:42you can see that's what Ralston's saying
34:44and
34:46and
34:48and
34:55VAR have given it
34:56penalty
34:58confirmed
35:00well that's a very interesting one
35:02the debate will continue on that
35:04with the way that
35:06you can see the Rangers players are clearly questioning
35:08the ref as to
35:10well if you're given the penalty
35:12is it not a yellow card?
35:14and I think that is a valid question
35:16I think it should be personally
35:18but if you're given it
35:20surely it's a yellow
35:26James Tavernier
35:28has scored six times against Celtic
35:30but yet to do so
35:32in a cup game
35:36turn 34
35:38on Friday
35:40and this is a huge moment
35:42with ten minutes to go
35:44the men of Rangers
35:46in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final
35:48it's Tavernier who finds the corner
35:50and it's all level again
35:52what an incredible
35:56Glasgow Derby
35:58at Hampden Park
36:00this has been
36:02it's still got at least ten minutes
36:04to come to a conclusion
36:06oh
36:08it's a great penalty
36:10there's no chance for Schmeichel
36:12pace and power and accuracy
36:14from Tavernier
36:16gives the Dane
36:18no chance to save it
36:20but here's the penalty again
36:22you can see the challenge between
36:24Mayowski and Ralston
36:26I'm just not sure what you're expecting Ralston to do there
36:28you know that
36:30Varsane hits his elbow below the t-shirt line
36:32well we can all see that
36:34that doesn't constitute a penalty
36:36his arm is tucked in tight to his body
36:40here's the other thing Rory
36:42see if he's putting his arm down
36:44more out from his body
36:46you know that
36:48your resting arm that's trying to balance you on the ground
36:50is not giving us a penalty kick
36:52he's actually tucking it in
36:54and he's been penalised for it
36:56I think that's extremely harsh
37:02Stephen McLean and Andrew Dallas
37:04the experienced officials working VAR
37:08you have to say though
37:10there were moments in this game where it did look like
37:12things were turning back towards Rangers
37:14and an opportunity to get level
37:16Martin O'Neill's side didn't manage to kill it off
37:18James Forrest hit the crossbar
37:20and it's come back to haunt them
37:22absolutely, we were talking about this
37:24you got a sense that as long as it was at 1-0
37:26Rangers second half performance
37:28has kept them in the game
37:30Celtic have been wasteful
37:32they've not been anywhere near the levels they were
37:34in the first half
37:36and I think that man in your picture deserves a lot of credit
37:38he's clearly
37:40put across a concise message to the team
37:42at half time
37:44changed the system
37:46changed the personnel
37:48and it's paid dividends as it really has
37:50and it's Rangers
37:52who are in the ascendancy now
37:54Mikey Moore
37:56turning away from Engels
38:00now the ball towards Mijovski
38:02and you would not know that Rangers are the team down to ten men
38:12you really wouldn't
38:14they have a corner now
38:16Magoma demands more
38:18Pachin running through his veins
38:20the team that are looking at this and thinking
38:24can they win it inside 90 minutes
38:26they're the ones that are believing it's possible
38:28given that man advances
38:30they might believe it's necessary
38:32that they strike again in the next seven minutes
38:34although as the game has gone on they have looked the stronger
38:48Tavenier takes Celtic have two at the front post
38:50the Tati wins it
38:52conflict on by Osman
38:54Moore
38:56straight to Schmeichel
38:58it looks early for Tierney
39:04Ralston
39:06is at the centre of all that controversy
39:08I'm not sure why they're looking to play crossfield passes there
39:12Ralston had Forrest in front of him
39:14in acres of space
39:16and when
39:18Kieran Tierney picked the ball up as well
39:20he had acres of space in front of him
39:22but didn't want to go and drive into it
39:24More driving Rangers up the pitch
39:26Ruskan
39:30Quite incredible game isn't it
39:36That's good ball winning from Callum Osman
39:38Sherry
39:51Forrest
39:521-2 with
39:53Engels on through the legs of Rasca
39:56what a ball that is too
39:58Celtic with the opportunity
40:00butlin saves from Osman
40:02that was a huge moment for the 19-year-old
40:06moment for the 19 year old that's the game right there I mean the play from
40:12Forrest is exquisite he's coming in on that right foot what a chance for
40:17Osman it's weighted perfectly the first touch is ideal it's his second one I
40:24think he doesn't really get in position which ends up being too straight a shot
40:30right at the goalkeeper
40:36another one to come in from Engels the end swinger
40:44free header there for Osman but unable to direct it goal words it's Ralston up against Tavernier
40:53Ralston managing to deliver Engels is at the back post dangerous ball and Mioski had to get that out and behind and did
41:06just like a pendulum that swung back the other way now Rangers having to soak up a little bit of pressure here
41:12four minutes to go of normal time Engels is nobody there
41:27nobody there as much as the first half you felt like you had his eye in these three kicks and corners
41:35you're good
41:37second half's not been the same is it too much on it there
41:43Martin O'Neill was talking before the game about how he felt the game goes longer James Forrest could well have a park to play well he almost
41:52almost there made sure the game was going to finish in 90 minutes with a great bit of play
41:59Tierney asks Maida to run
42:03Souto covering Tavernier does well to keep it in play
42:07Souto covering Tavernier does well to keep it in play
42:09Souto safely back to Spiegel who had a moment of hesitation
42:13nice to get it away to Ralston
42:17Raskan steps in in front of him
42:19Forrest tracking back
42:24now seeking out the space there's the run of Osmond
42:27Souto trying to keep pace with him
42:29through the legs of John Souto Osmond
42:33under pressure from Magoma and the challenge was fair
42:37that was great play from Osmond
42:41good direct play
42:43it's not inside the penalty box anyway
42:48it's outside but I just thought perhaps Osmond had got his body in front of Magoma
42:52lovely play here
42:55that's a foul I think it's outside the box
42:59Magoma's coming in from behind it's not a shoulder charge and
43:02I think that could have should have perhaps been a free kick
43:07I think it's outside the box
43:09I think it's outside the box
43:12I think it's outside the box
43:13I think it's outside the box
43:15Tony close down by Tavernier
43:17two minutes left
43:25three all with a dramatic finish in the final last season they're into extra time then penalties
43:37it's in from Forrest it's a delightful ball that Suter gets behind
43:42just keep feeding James Forrest I mean would you not want I'm just getting 1v1 against Magoma
43:49he's cut inside a few times and look like he's going to open up the Rangers defense
43:55Celtic I'll just be feeding him the ball and stay away don't close his space down
44:02angles
44:08his front post scales look ahead of the two guys at handball from the Celtic end
44:15and he's on the pitch
44:17will just be delayed
44:19as VAR would like to have a look at that
44:23check is complete
44:24I think when you look at the players reactions there's a bit of a tear as well there wasn't
44:33a single Celtic player that was claiming for that
44:40so we had to make sure he got enough of that Patate knocks it down
44:43the salmon out
44:45oh he's going nowhere
44:47Patate
44:48breaks off
44:49Maeda
44:50but to safety for Rangers Celtic asserting the pressure they want a winner
44:55there's going to be four additional minutes at the end of the 90
45:05Roelston
45:10feeds Forrest
45:12now scales
45:19scales out wide
45:22Kieran Tierney deflection on it
45:24where will it land
45:25as Raskan to scramble it away
45:28desperation for Rangers
45:30ricocheting around in the box
45:35fortunately for Rangers they're able to clear their lines there
45:42Tierney again this time with the right foot it's a lofted one
45:47Magoma can only stab it away to Ralston
45:54Magoma can't get that all the way it's Engels that keeps it in play for Forrest
45:59McGregor demands it
46:01and it directs the play to Engels what can he conjure up from here
46:05Tierney's at the back post so too is Raskan
46:08it's a breathless end to the 90 we've almost played one of the four additional minutes
46:21we're heading to extra time as things stand
46:24I think whoever this ends I think Rangers deserve a fair bit of credit for their second half performance
46:30Cornelius it's going to be another Celtic corner
46:33you would not put it past a Mark O'Neill team to come up with a dramatic finish in a big game
46:40absolutely and as much as you can give credit to Rangers for the performance
46:44they're wanting a result
46:46Tierney
46:48stabbed clear
46:50they don't want a pat on the back and a defeat inside 90 minutes that is for sure
46:55they need to concentrate here
46:57through Hitate
46:59more scales now
47:01Tierney wants it again
47:02he's had a number of crossing opportunities out on that far side
47:07scales
47:09another minute
47:11ticks off
47:12Hitate
47:14Forrest
47:15first time
47:16Hitate blazes it
47:18over the top
47:19what a chance for Rio Hitate
47:21Martin O'Neill cannot believe it
47:24what a chance indeed
47:26I mean Forrest has been outstanding really as I think he's maybe trying to pull it back for Troste
47:31for Troste
47:32and it lands it
47:33Hitate
47:36blazed over the crossbar but
47:38you know just as that is unfolding I can't
47:41there's times where Celtic they're looking to just keep things all down one side and really
47:46exactly what happens in the end is what they're needing to do stretch out the other side that's where the space is
47:52Jaden Magoma is off Max Ahrens comes on
47:57Scales gives the shout to his captain
47:59Scales gives the shout to his captain
48:12Moore
48:19is it Rangers who
48:22have the final say not so as McGregor and Maeda and Tierney surround the winger
48:29Scales, oh it was a risky one closed down by Gossama but Celtic will get out of jail
48:35Ralston
48:38Wins the free kick from Rascam
48:41Engels wants to take it quickly with the seconds ticking away
48:44Walsh wants it to be moved back half a metre
48:48well credit to Rangers honestly you know they're down to ten men and they are bursting a gut
48:53shutting Celtic down high up the park
48:56you know this has not been a performance in the second half where they've just camped in and soaked up pressure
49:01they've really gone after Celtic
49:03go Celtic
49:06Tierney
49:07Cornelius stretches to flip that away it's a race between Ahrens and Ralston
49:13Ralston will accept the throw in the final seconds before we head to extra time
49:21Celtic have one last chance to put one in the box it's Ralston, it's Tierney who takes it down
49:26Kieran Tierney takes a deflection
49:28Celtic won't have the opportunity for the corner which they are not happy about at all
49:35the final act of the 90 minutes producing drama as we have seen
49:45well what a game that preceded that and we have 30 more minutes
49:51between Danny Rolls Rangers and Martin O'Neill's Celtic
49:55after the 90 minutes it's Celtic won, Rangers won
49:59and we head to extra time for a place in the Premier Sports Cup final
