00:00Danilo off at half-time, Jerry Gassama on in his place.
00:04The young Frenchman has been a bright spark for Rangers this season, one of the few.
00:11And this is now a major test of Danny Rowles.
00:16Management skills, Celtic heavy favourites from here to make it to the Premier Sports Cup final against Samirin.
00:30No chasers for Rangers.
00:37Just looking at the Rangers set up, it looks like it may well be.
00:42Tunechti who beats Giga, Sebastian Tunechti, across comes Suter, once again to bail out his team mate.
00:50Get back to Rangers in a second there, but you can look at that, straight ball, Giga not defending it well at all, yet again.
00:58John Suter has to bail him out, but I'm just looking at the set up, the start there, it looked like Tavernier was a lot higher.
01:05And it may well be that it's just a little bit more of a back four.
01:08With Giga playing that right side more predominantly, and Giga, sorry, Gassama and Tavernier in behind, and wider of Cermiti who's through the middle.
01:23Engles, there's a lot on that, and too much for Dyson Maeda to do anything with it.
01:29Yeah, certainly you can see here that the bye kick as well, Tavernier, he's playing almost as a third midfielder.
01:42He thinks exactly what it is, he's going into midfield, and Gassama's just up top alongside Cermiti.
01:55Tunechti, Siraccia went ahead of him, just needed to keep a hold of him before, feeding scales, and now Ralston.
02:04Tunechti, two, three, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, four, three, four, three, four, four, five, four, three, four, four, three, five, four, five, four, nine, five.
02:12There's a lot.
02:13You'll see all the cute, stinging tiger stripes on the inside of that thigh.
02:21The challenge from Teluhasgar that sort of the Norwegian sent off in the post-line.
02:26She goes all over the place, too, it's a Kroeger over the place.
02:29There's one that from Engles, and now runs into the challenge of Maeda.
02:33McGregor that brings some calm
02:36Max Ammons is obviously not exactly set the head of the line at Rangers
02:44but looking at options for that right back
02:46Gaps in the Rangers defence again
02:49Giga, Ternecte now
02:51and he couldn't quite wrap his throat around it
02:58Good quick play down the left
02:59they've got overload
03:01Negrin and Ternecte
03:03I've got to say it's a great weighted pass from Negrin
03:07I'm not sure Ternecte actually needed to jump
03:10Giga sliding in
03:12he doesn't get anywhere near it
03:14I'm looking at it and I'm thinking
03:15perhaps even get Tavernier back to right back
03:17and get another midfielder
03:18out and out midfielder in there
03:20because Giga's not that comfortable all afternoon
03:22he's certainly not going to be any more comfortable playing
03:25as a right back
03:26there's McGregor
03:31well the play won't be stopped
03:33in fact it will be a Rangers free kick
03:35Nico Raskin
03:36goes back to his feet
03:38and he has a thing or two to say about it
03:41oh well that's a good shout actually
03:56a good call from the ref
03:57you see
03:59Ternecte didn't need to because
04:01Negrin was up challenging
04:03but Ginizin just jumped in
04:05and fouled Raskin
04:06Scales and Trusty go up together
04:09and Polly flash well wide from Kusama
04:13Cornelius though is down in the edge of the area
04:18so K.A.R. has for a delay
04:21Siracchi
04:43Kenny looking to run beyond his first touch
04:46there's Immaculate then Suter
04:48well Suter forced
04:52the save from Butland
04:55Martin O'Neill is desperate for this second goal
04:57look at the gaping holes in that Rangers back line
05:00Magomar does nothing to affect that at all
05:03Jack Butland has to be
05:05bright to get a touch
05:07I mean it's a nice first touch from Kenny
05:09it just gives Suter an opportunity
05:10to get a flick on it though
05:12but you know
05:15Rangers have still got a back line in place
05:17it's not as if they've you know
05:18altered and they're lacking in numbers there
05:20but they're still wide open
05:22Magomar
05:23he just never recognises the danger of Rory
05:26he never falls round
05:27as a full back
05:29he always leaves that channel open
05:30for front men to exploit
05:32it's Tremiti
05:34it's behind Kusama though
05:36that's good play from Raskan he was alert to pick up the loose ball and then drive him forward
05:53that's good play from Raskan he was alert to pick up the loose ball and then drive him forward
06:04clearly a free kick and I think that one from Tony Ralston is just talking up process rather than that one on its own
06:15split right down the middle
06:30James Tamanir with the long throw towards Suter
06:46James Tamanir with the long throw towards Souter,
06:51it's an empty touch ahead of Magoma, racing on to this is Sriracha,
06:57Giga trying to keep up with him, the Uruguayan will shoulder to shoulder with Nasser Giga,
07:04and that's excellent walking back from Burkina Faso.
07:08Yeah, the credit where credit's due,
07:11because he's got a lot of ground to cover and get back in,
07:15and Nasser Giga does very well,
07:20covering in there and closing down Sriracha,
07:23you can see even as the long tie was getting taken,
07:26Rangers had everybody up within probably 25 yards of the Celtic goal,
07:31and you cling to yourself, if that ball drops to Maeda for example,
07:36they're in deep trouble because it comes a foot race at that point.
07:40Scales hasn't missed much,
07:46we'll go up again with Chirmiti,
07:50Raskan now, Gassama, Maeda working back,
07:55Celtic have to be careful here,
07:57Ralston got the shout eventually,
08:00Tabernil shot is blocked by Sriracha,
08:04Tunechti,
08:06Gaps again for Negren and Tunechti to look to exploit,
08:12Tunechti against Giga,
08:19has to turn back,
08:22safety of McGregor,
08:24Engels,
08:25time and space to Suks,
08:28as he looked to curl that one into the far corner,
08:31he was not far away at all.
08:33That was good quick breaking from Celtic,
08:36and they're getting the man over,
08:38space for Engels to,
08:40I think it's comfortably wide in the end,
08:42but he's got time to get the touch in,
08:45and size it up.
08:48Masajiga,
08:49he gave a lot of space for Tunechti to go and run and say,
08:53OK,
08:54let's go 1v1,
08:55he eventually blocks it off but,
08:57you can see that Celtic always seemed to have a bit of space and an extra man there,
09:02and eventually it drops the Engels on the edge of the box there,
09:05as I was saying before,
09:07he's got time to get a comfortable touch,
09:09size up the goal,
09:11and he's missed the target,
09:13but you don't want to be giving guys like that too many opportunities on the edge of the box.
09:17The introduction,
09:33to the Glasgow derby for Danny Roar,
09:36his opposite number,
09:38and it was all about it.
09:42Jim Andi.
09:43I've seen it.
09:44He's dropped by Maeda.
09:48Familius,
09:49and back for Rangers.
09:51Scrappy spell.
09:54Raskan looking for Chirmiti,
09:56their scales again to rise,
09:57and the flag goes up against the striker.
09:59I was just going to say really,
10:00it's been a little bit scrappy from Celtic.
10:04They're playing against ten men now,
10:05but it doesn't feel like they've got as much control of the game as before.
10:09Chirmiti just drifting slightly offside,
10:11the offside's been given,
10:13but Martin O'Neill will be a little bit concerned that they've not just been able to control this as much.
10:20It's not as if Rangers have done anything that you would say has forced them back into the game,
10:25but I think Celtic have been wasteful.
10:28And Alston all the way out to Chirmiti on the far side.
10:37Chirmiti looks for that reverse ball and the run of Kenny.
10:40Well there's an interesting conversation between Jiga and Tavernier currently going on.
10:47There's no communication.
10:49He cuts inside and he just lets them go.
10:51You can see Tavernier and Jiga, they're both throwing their arms out as if to say what...
10:54what's happening.
10:57Celtic again for me wasteful, they're not exploiting the gaps that are there.
11:03There's trusty again, and then Diamande caught on the chest.
11:16There's going to be a card out for Dawson Maeda.
11:18Well the interesting thing is here, Maeda was actually blocked off by the referee originally.
11:30He wasn't able to get in and challenge properly and he's dangled a foot out,
11:33but just as the ball was coming you can see he's having to go round the referee.
11:39He's caught him, you can understand the ref giving that but Nick Walsh is in the way.
11:44Well 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,
11:59but I don't think it goes anywhere near the same level of danger as the Norwegian's red card.
12:04It's not, it's not.
12:05You know, I heard the guys obviously talking at half time about trusty as well,
12:08an absolute spot on it was stupid and it gave officials an opportunity.
12:13I think if the ref had shown a red it would not have been overturned,
12:16but I think a yellow was just a bit enough because it wasn't forceful.
12:20It's Tavernier, Engels with the header, Diamande on the edge, blocked by trusty, Diamande again.
12:28And then the strike from Magoma, Cermiti.
12:32And Schreichel couldn't hold on to it but Celtic scramble it away.
12:39The ten men of Rangers rallying here.
12:41They are.
12:42Diamande.
12:43Space for Raskan.
12:45And towards the back post.
12:46Now the flag goes up, Kasper Schmeichel is absolutely furious.
12:58You'll have heard the rattle of his studs on the post.
13:01Yeah, but he fumbles it at the near post under no pressure.
13:06And there's definitely a feeling of Rangers just walking their way back into the game here.
13:13Raskan's clearly offside there but that ball is probably out for a back kick as well.
13:19But just before that Schmeichel was under no pressure and he's fumbled it,
13:24and he just allowed that momentum to continue to build.
13:34Scales to Necti, cross touch straight to Chiga, Tavernier, Cermiti, back to the Rangers captain.
13:42Now up to this point, I wouldn't say that Rangers had done anything particularly brilliant
13:50but that there for me, that moment there, shows you exactly what Danny Rowe's looking to do.
13:55He's wanting to be aggressive here, he's not accepting sitting in and trying to just nick a goal.
14:00They're trying to pressurise Celtic there.
14:04Huge throw from James Tavernier and it will lead to a corner kick.
14:09And you're sensing an opportunity here.
14:13Yep, absolutely, you can hear the crowd.
14:16There's a clear tactic and dynamic and the Rangers set up the system.
14:22The two front men getting right up on top of the centre-half there.
14:27Tavernier forcing pressure onto Sriracha as well.
14:35Tavernier takes, goes Ralston.
14:38The commanding clearance and Diomondi's going to come under serious pressure here.
14:42Made an exit.
14:43Magoma is back as the last man for Rangers.
14:48Well, if Celtic are just a little bit sharper and on point with their play, there are going to be chances here for them.
14:59Because Rangers are really, as I've said, they're not sitting in here.
15:03They're looking to try and get themselves back into this game.
15:06Celtic have got to be calm and collected though.
15:09And Ingels.
15:11Barnwell is absolutely clear.
15:13Trimiti and Ralston will have a hold of him.
15:17Sometimes as a defender I think they just need to recognise that you can't outmuscle the striker when he's in position like that.
15:29It's amazing when we talk about Celtic's dominance in Scotland, it all started with him, quarter of a century ago, Mark O'Neill came to Celtic Park in the year 2000, since then, Celtic have won 19 of the 25 titles, they've added 23 cups to that, O'Neill itself.
15:55Tremitty by the way, that's just silly, silly. O'Neill himself only won this competition once.
16:10Ralston, Cornelius, Tamanir heads it on to Dionne, David Engels, I'm sure that Celtic have it back.
16:24Celtic fans urging their players to show a bit more again, to try and put this one to bed, a second goal would surely kill Rangers off with the ten men, but that's given away by Scales, then McGregor, he will now be the latest player to be yellow carded.
16:44There's a bit of nervousness in the Celtic play here, I mean Scales, no pressure, misplaces a five-yard pass and Cal McGregor's pulled Raskan down, otherwise he's bursting and breaking forward there.
16:57But 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.
17:10Doesn't look like ten against eleven in this last spell, Rangers best of the match, you have to say.
17:19Baida's header, Kenny and Tonecti will chase this, but it will go all the way through to Butland.
17:26All the way through to Butland.
17:33It's Gamonde.
17:36Scales, well positioned.
17:41Look at how much more aggressive Rangers are, this is his ten men.
17:45And Celtic are, you know, for a lot of it, just not able to find those connections as well.
17:51Ralston looks long and Engles untracked, Souter having to come across, Cornelius mops up.
18:04It's Engles.
18:05Celtic are preparing James Forrest for action.
18:15To Necti in the meantime.
18:19Can't get his cross in, Giga does his job, it will be a Celtic corner though.
18:24James Forrest has won 22 of his 33 derbies.
18:44To go along with his 26 major honours.
18:54To go along with your players!
18:57To go along with your players!
19:02Engles.
19:03Pin to get's from Post, what a save from Butland!
19:07That's kept Rangers in it for now.
19:09Selting not finished though, Ralston.
19:13Didn't get the angle he was wanting, Butland puts it out for another corner.
19:16Well, how crucial are that crew?
19:18How crucial that groove
19:19Quite incredible reactions there from Jack Butland
19:24Header comes in at close quarters
19:28It's down low
19:29And he reacts so quickly
19:32Negrin there
19:36That's a brilliant save, it really is
19:38He's got his hand down low, down his feet
19:40Fantastic save from Jack Butland
19:44Such a difficult position there
19:48Down his feet
19:49Engles to TK once more
19:56Diamonde
19:58Disorientated for a second
20:00McGregor
20:09Diamonde
20:13There's Smaida
20:14That's good from Gasama, great feet
20:20There's going to be another yellow card
20:24Ernie Engles this time
20:25They are clearly totting up
20:27Absolutely, I mean it's a yellow card every day of the week
20:29Again it's just graceful play though from Celtic
20:32Callum McGregor looking to get the ball in behind quickly
20:35And it never ever looked like it was going to be coming off
20:40And Osama does brilliantly
20:42Skips between a few players
20:44And Engles wipes them out
20:47That's how Ralston trust the Engles, McGregor and Maeda
20:54All in the group
20:55Cornelius
20:56It's a first time we've ever seen somebody playing football with plus fours
21:02So no worries
21:03So Barney Neal's first change is James Forrest gets his final instructions from Sean Maloney
21:14Sebastian Tonecti
21:17The man to make way
21:20Sebastian Tonecti
21:21The man to make way
21:22Sebastian Tonecti
21:23The man to make way
21:24Sebastian Tonecti
21:25The man to make way
21:27Sebastian Tonecti
21:29He's just done it on so many occasions
21:32At this venue
21:34For Celtic in big games
21:35Tavernier
21:47Cornelius wins the header
21:49Scales stabs it away
21:51Diamonde
21:52It's dipping
21:53But wide
21:54They're the ones that look like they've got the extra man at times
22:06When the ball's up in the Celtic's defensive third there
22:10Dropping at the edge of the box and they had two men spare
22:14Engles spotting the space
22:17Maeda leaves it for Sirachi
22:19That leaves the space
22:22For Martel Sirachi gets a touch as well
22:25From Benjamin Negrin
22:28I spoke about it before and it happens again
22:31Tavernier sliding across with Giga
22:33And the two of them
22:34Leave it
22:35The space inside
22:36They're having words with each other again
22:38You can see the two of them looking at each other
22:39Tavernier's not impressed
22:41He steps in
22:43He's got so much space
22:44Negrin
22:46Too much
22:48Just a little flick
22:51Rather than a
22:52Strong contact like that
22:54But
22:54There's spaces for Celtic to explore
22:56And if they're
22:57A little bit sharper
22:59And
22:59A wee bit more precise
23:02Than
23:02There's goals for them
23:03But
23:03You feel that Rangers
23:05It's a
23:06Risk and reward for them
23:09At the moment really
23:10To be able to get that under control
23:18They can
23:19Just look to his bench
23:28And
23:28Giving the nod to
23:30Mikey Moore
23:31And
23:31Boyan Mijovski
23:32Save intensity is not there from Celtic in this half
23:38Certainly feels like it's dropped off a little bit
23:41I think Rangers are doing a very good job
23:56Out of possession
23:56The managers
23:57Had 15 minutes there at half time to
24:00Change the system
24:01And discuss
24:02You know
24:03What they're looking to do
24:04And on the whole
24:05It's been not too bad so far
24:07Maida
24:08Surachi continuing his run
24:10Pulls that back
24:11James Forrest
24:13Rattles the crossbar
24:15Kenny keeps it alive
24:17Forrest again
24:18And this time
24:19He blazes it over the top
24:21Celtic
24:22Millimetres away
24:24From finishing this
24:26All through Forrest
24:26Well it's a good cut back
24:29Into a dangerous area
24:30And Forrest
24:31That's a wonderful strike
24:32With his left boot
24:33Off the crossbar
24:35And then
24:36Not so great
24:37With his stronger right
24:38Rangers breathing
24:41A huge sigh of relief
24:43Seeing this come off the crossbar
24:44Cornelius just
24:49Pondering a little bit too long
24:52Kenny looked like he was maybe
24:54Going to be able to
24:55Nick in and get a strike on goal
24:57It all comes to nothing
24:58Rangers
24:59Still in the game
25:01Also preparing a double change
25:15In the meantime here goes Gassama
25:16Who I think just ran straight into
25:19Anthony Ralston
25:21Who's come off second best
25:23Sirachi got there first but Giga
25:30Was able to walk it away
25:32So will be Celtic that will make the
25:39First change
25:41Benjamin Negrin coming off for
25:45Rio Hattati
25:46And there's
25:47Callum Osman
25:48Who got
25:49His debut against
25:51Falkirk with the final
25:5214 minutes
25:53The 19 year old sign
25:56From Fulham
25:57Will be coming on
25:59For Johnny Kenny
26:00The goal scorer
26:01Kenny the man who's made the
26:11Difference so far
26:12But what a moment
26:14For Osman
26:15Just his second appearance
26:18For the club
26:19As Mikey Moore also
26:20Comes on along with
26:22Boyan Mijovski
26:24And the dear Monday
26:28And Yusef Chermity
26:31The two to make way
26:32Mijovski
26:38Incidentally who has
26:39Scored three previous goals
26:43Against Celtic
26:45Including here in a
26:47Scottish Cup semi-final
26:48For Aberdeen
26:50That classic
26:51That went all the way to
26:53Penalty shootouts
26:55The Rangers midfielder
27:04Doing a power of work
27:05You'd see Tavernier
27:06On that side
27:07Going and closing the
27:08Field back down
27:09On this side
27:10Mikey Moore
27:12Putting Ralston
27:12Under pressure
27:13But it does leave
27:15Gaps
27:15There's no doubt about it
27:16And Danny Rule's
27:18Obviously decided
27:19That it's a risk
27:20Worth taking
27:20To try and force
27:22Their way back
27:22Into the game
27:23Raskan pulls
27:24Surrachi down there
27:25Because of exactly that
27:27He knows that
27:27If Surrachi gets past him
27:29He's charging through
27:30On the back line
27:31Unopposed
27:32Raskan carded
27:36Ralston up to Engels
27:59He will pick up space now
28:02Rangers outnumbered in there
28:03Osmond just ran beyond
28:04Mooran out
28:09Raskan
28:11Raskan again
28:13Contrasting
28:14He's been good isn't he
28:16Obviously a lot
28:18Been made about the fact
28:19That
28:20He hadn't been playing
28:22This season
28:22And
28:23Especially
28:24The game at Tynecastle
28:26Martin O'Neill's
28:27Two games
28:28He's been straight in
28:29And certainly this afternoon
28:31I've got to say
28:31He's looked good
28:32He's looked comfortable
28:33And commanding
28:35He's looked good
28:36He's looked comfortable
28:37He's looked good
28:37He's looked comfortable
28:38And commanding
28:39Oh Celtic
28:40Coming back to Vickers
28:41Again Surrachi
28:42Takes that in his stride
28:43Just left it behind
28:45Maeda
28:45Forrest
28:54Celtic just trying to
28:56Exert a little bit of control here
28:58Because if they're able to get
29:00Control of the ball
29:01They're going to be able to stretch
29:02Rangers and
29:03Rangers are trying to make it
29:06Chaotic
29:07Which allows them to be able to win balls back
29:10It's clamber from Hattate
29:11Ralston
29:12To Forrest
29:14Forrest picks out Hattate
29:16Rowan Butlin with a bit of a fumble
29:18But nobody was following it in
29:20Well it's good quick play from Celtic
29:24They open up that space
29:24On the edge of the box
29:25With a cutback
29:26I think Butlin's just caught on his heels
29:29He's falling back
29:29As the strike's coming in
29:30Hence why
29:31Fumbles it a little bit there
29:33Rioski with the flip on
29:42Surrachi cushions it
29:45Into the middle for Engels
29:46From McGregor to Ralston
29:50Forrest ahead of him
29:52But he misses him out
29:53Osman
29:54Makes an excellent run
29:55It was a great pass
30:00A good run from Osman
30:01You just start to get a sense
30:04And a feel that Celtic
30:05Are getting the passes in
30:06They're stretching the game
30:07Side to side
30:08Surrachi
30:10Makes a ball taken by Butlins
30:13As we
30:15Are in to
30:17The final quarter of an hour
30:18Still finely balanced
30:20But crucially Celtic
30:22With the goal
30:23And man advantage
30:24Cornelius
30:48For Mielski
30:50Noor
30:51The run from
30:53Gasama
30:53Who's in here
30:54Jenny Gasama
30:55Bearing down on goal
30:56But look at that
30:57For a challenge
30:58From Liam Scales
31:00A goal saving intervention
31:02From the Irishman
31:03Well I tell you what
31:05What a ball that is
31:06And he's on side
31:06No question
31:07And you're right
31:10Liam Scales
31:11Huge play
31:12Perfectly timed
31:15Because this is
31:16All or nothing
31:17At this point
31:17And it could well
31:20Have been a bye kick
31:20Actually
31:21I think perhaps
31:22Scales
31:22Touches it on
31:24To Gasama
31:24I think that's what
31:26Schmeichel was complaining about
31:27That is such a vital
31:30Tackle there
31:31From Liam Scales
31:32And it
31:33Look
31:33We've had a couple
31:35Of moments there
31:36Where it feels like
31:36Celtic are starting to exert
31:38A little bit more control
31:39But at 1-0
31:40The game's still there
31:43For the
31:43The Rangers team
31:48Because
31:49A moment like that
31:50Quality
31:51Sliding through
31:53On target
31:54And
31:54That's very good
31:56I mean that's
31:57That's a little bit too close
31:59For Celtic's liking
32:00I would imagine
32:001-0 up
32:01Down to
32:0210 men
32:03No doubt about it
32:06Shoots
32:07Via goal kick
32:08But Celtic will have a corner
32:09To face
32:10Just as
32:11Marcello Siracchi
32:12Gets back to his feet
32:13But Celtic are preparing
32:14To bring on
32:15Kieran Tierney
32:16That will happen now
32:17As Siracchi
32:20Heads off
32:21Another impressive showing
32:24From him
32:25What a bad man
32:28To
32:29Bring on
32:30Straight in to
32:48Cover
32:48For Raskan
32:49Tavernier
32:51Head on its way through
32:54Forrest
32:56With Osman
32:57Ahead of him
32:57Maeda's gone through
32:59The middle
32:59Osman looking to use
33:00His pace
33:01But Magouma
33:01Has plenty of that as well
33:03And he ruled down
33:16In the touchline
33:16Trying to encourage
33:17His team
33:17Forward
33:18It's been a real
33:22Physical challenge
33:24For them
33:24As I said
33:25Not spent a lot
33:26Of time on the ball
33:27In the first half
33:28Chasing a lot
33:28Going down to 10 men
33:301-0 down
33:31Second half performance
33:33You've got to say
33:34Has been pretty good
33:34On the whole
33:35They've kept themselves
33:36In the game
33:37Raskan
33:41Tavernier
33:43Gasama
33:45Goes round the outside
33:46Gasama
33:46The block
33:47Comes in
33:48Cries of handball
33:49Penalty given
33:52It was Anthony Ralston
33:58Who blocked it
34:00Who has already
34:01Been booked
34:02Will there be
34:03Further drama here
34:05Well
34:07It's an on field
34:08Decision
34:09Penalty kick
34:10You just wonder
34:10What Nick Walsh
34:11Is waiting for
34:12He's linesman
34:13Who's way over
34:14On the far side
34:14Telling him what to do
34:16Let's have a look
34:18I'm not sure
34:23Rory
34:23The two players
34:27He's fallen down
34:28After the challenge
34:29Where
34:29I'm not sure
34:30You can give that
34:31His arm's tucked
34:31In at his side
34:32Rory
34:32His arm's tucked
34:34In at his side
34:35He's fallen down
34:36After a challenge
34:37With the
34:38The Rangers player
34:39I'm really not sure
34:41You can give that
34:42You can see
34:42That's what Ralston's saying
34:43And
34:53Varo have given it
34:55Penalty
34:57Confirmed
34:58Well that's a very
35:00Interesting one
35:00The debate will
35:01Continue on that
35:02With the way that
35:03Ralston went down
35:05You can see the Rangers
35:06Players are clearly
35:06Questioning the ref
35:07As to
35:07Well
35:08If you're given the penalty
35:09Is it not a yellow card
35:11And I think
35:12That's a valid question
35:13I don't think
35:15It should be
35:15Personally
35:16But if you're given it
35:17Surely it's a yellow
35:18James Tavernier
35:26He's scored six times
35:29Against Celtic
35:30But yet to do so
35:32In a cup game
35:33Turned 34
35:36On Friday
35:38And this is a huge moment
35:40With ten minutes to go
35:42For the ten men
35:43Of Rangers
35:44In the Premier Sports Cup
35:46Semi-final
35:46It's Tavernier
35:47Who finds the corner
35:49And it's all level again
35:51What an incredible
35:55Glasgow derby
35:57At Hampden Park
35:59This has been
36:00It's still got at least
36:02Ten minutes
36:03To come to a conclusion
36:05Oh it's a great penalty
36:08There's no chance
36:11For Schmeichel
36:12Pace and power
36:13And accuracy
36:14From Tavernier
36:16Gives the Dane
36:18No chance to save it
36:19But here's the
36:20Penalty again
36:21You can see the challenge
36:22Between Majofsky
36:23And Ralston
36:24I'm just not sure
36:25What you're expecting
36:26Ralston to do there
36:27You know
36:28Varsen
36:29Hits his elbow
36:30Below the t-shirt line
36:31Well we can all see that
36:32That doesn't constitute
36:33A penalty
36:34His arm is tucked in
36:37Tight to his body
36:38You know
36:39Here's the other thing
36:40See if he's putting
36:42His arm down
36:43More out from his body
36:44You know that
36:46Your resting arm
36:47That's trying to
36:48Balance you on the ground
36:49Is not giving us
36:50A penalty kick
36:50He's actually
36:51Tucking it in
36:52And he's been
36:53Penalised for it
36:54I think that's
36:54Extremely hard
36:55Stephen McLean
37:01And Andrew Dallas
37:02The
37:02Experienced officials
37:04Working VAR
37:05You have to say
37:07Though
37:07There were moments
37:08Of this game
37:09Where it did look like
37:10Things were
37:11Turning back towards
37:12Rangers
37:13And an opportunity
37:14To get level
37:15Martin O'Neill's side
37:16Didn't manage
37:16To kill it off
37:17James Forrest
37:18Hit the crossbar
37:19And it's come back
37:20To haunt them
37:20Absolutely
37:21We're talking about this
37:22You've got a sense
37:23That as long as
37:24It was at 1-0
37:24Rangers second half
37:26Performance has kept
37:27Them in the game
37:28Celtic have been
37:29Wasteful
37:30They've not been
37:30Anywhere near the
37:31Levels they were
37:32In the
37:33First half
37:34And I think that
37:35Man in your picture
37:35Deserves a lot of credit
37:36He's clearly
37:37Put across a
37:39Concise message
37:41To the team
37:41At half time
37:43Change the system
37:44Change the personnel
37:45And it's paid dividends
37:47It really has
37:48It's Rangers
37:51Who are in the ascendancy now
37:53Mikey Moore
37:55Turning away from Engels
37:59Now the ball towards
38:01Smilovski
38:02And you would not know
38:10That Rangers as a team
38:11Down to ten men
38:12You really wouldn't
38:13They have a corner now
38:14And McCormick demands more
38:16Passion
38:17Running through his veins
38:19And means of the team
38:26That are looking at this
38:27And thinking
38:27Can they win it
38:28Inside 90 minutes
38:29They're the ones
38:30That are believing
38:30It's possible
38:31Given that man advances
38:35They might believe
38:36It's necessary
38:37That they strike again
38:39In the next seven minutes
38:40Although as the game
38:42Has gone on
38:42They have looked the stronger
38:44Tavenir takes
38:48Celtic have two
38:48At the front post
38:49Zatati wins it
38:50And flicked on by
38:52Osman
38:53Moore
38:53Streets to
38:55Schmeichel
38:56Looks early for Tierney
38:58Wylston
39:04Is at the centre
39:05Of all that
39:06Controversy
39:06I'm not sure
39:08Why they're looking
39:09At play crossfield
39:09Passes there
39:10Wylston had
39:11Forrest in front of him
39:12In acres of space
39:14And when
39:16Kieran Tierney
39:17Picked the ball up
39:17As well
39:18He had acres of space
39:19In front of him
39:19But didn't want to
39:20Go and drive into
39:21Moore driving ranges
39:23Up the pitch
39:24Raskan
39:25Quite incredible game
39:30Isn't it
39:30It's good ball winning
39:35From
39:35Callum Osman
39:36And that was a huge moment
39:53And that was a huge moment
40:05For the 19 year old
40:06That's the game right there
40:09I mean the play from
40:10Forrest is exquisite
40:11And he's coming in
40:13On that right foot
40:14What a chance
40:15For Osman
40:16It's weighted perfectly
40:18The first touch
40:19Is ideal
40:21It's his second one
40:22I think
40:22He doesn't really
40:23Get in position
40:24Which ends up being
40:26Too straight a shot
40:28Right at the goalkeeper
40:29Another one to come in
40:41From Engels
40:41The end swinger
40:42Almost a free header
40:45There for Osman
40:46But unable to
40:47Direct it
40:48Goal works
40:48Ralston
40:50Up against
40:51Tavernier
40:52Ralston
40:53To deliver
40:55Engels
40:55At the back post
40:57Dangerous ball
40:58And Mioski
40:59Had to get that
41:00Out and behind
41:01And did
41:01Just like a pendulum
41:06It's swung back
41:06The other way now
41:07Rangers having to
41:09Soak up a little bit
41:10Of pressure here
41:11Four minutes to go
41:22Of normal time
41:23Engels
41:25There's nobody there
41:26As much as the first half
41:30He felt like he had
41:30His eye in
41:31His free kicks
41:32And corners
41:33Were good
41:34Second half's not
41:37Been the same
41:37Is it
41:38Too much on it
41:39There
41:40Martin O'Neill
41:42Was talking before
41:43The game about
41:44How he felt
41:45The game goes longer
41:47James Forrest
41:48Could well have
41:49A park to play
41:49Well he almost
41:50He almost made sure
41:52The game was going
41:53To finish in 90 minutes
41:54With a great bit of play
41:56Tierney asks
42:00Myra to run
42:01Suter covering
42:03Tavernier does well
42:05To keep it in play
42:06Scores safely back to
42:10Spiegel
42:11At a moment of hesitation
42:12He wants to get it away
42:15To Ralston
42:15Raskin steps in
42:17In front of him
42:18McForest tracking back
42:22Now seeking out the space
42:24Now seeking out the space
42:24There's the run of Osmond
42:25Suter trying to
42:27Keep pace with him
42:28Through the legs of
42:30John Suter
42:31Osmond
42:31And the pressure from
42:34Magoma
42:34And the challenge is fair
42:35That was a great play
42:39From Osmond
42:40Good direct play
42:41It's not inside the penalty box
42:46Anyway
42:46It's outside
42:47But I just thought
42:47Perhaps Osmond
42:48Had got his body
42:49In front
42:49Of Magoma
42:50Lovely play here
42:51That's a foul
42:54I think
42:55It's outside the box
42:56Magoma's coming in
42:58From behind
42:58It's not a shoulder charge
42:59And I think that could have
43:01Should have perhaps
43:02Been a free kick
43:03Tierney pulls down
43:15By Tavernier
43:15Two minutes left
43:24Three hole
43:30With a dramatic finish
43:32In the final
43:33Last season
43:34They went to extra time
43:35Then penalties
43:36It's in from Forrest
43:37It's a delightful ball
43:38And Suter
43:39Gets behind
43:41I just keep feeding
43:42James Forrest
43:43I mean
43:44Would you not want him
43:45Just getting 1v1
43:46Against Magoma
43:47He's cut inside
43:49A few times
43:50And looked like
43:51He's going to
43:51Open up the
43:52Rangers defence
43:53Celtic
43:56I'll just be
43:57Feeding him the ball
43:58And stay away
43:59Don't close his space
44:00Down
44:01Engels
44:07From the scales
44:08With the header
44:10The two tries
44:11From the Celtic end
44:13Any on the pitch
44:15Will just be delayed
44:18Yes
44:19VAR would like to have a look at that
44:21Check is complete
44:23I think when you look at the players reactions
44:30There's a bit of a tail as well
44:32There wasn't a single Celtic player
44:33That was claiming for that
44:34Here in Tierney
44:37He was coming in behind Cornelius
44:39So we had to make sure he got enough of that
44:40But Atate knocks it down
44:42The salmon out
44:43And he was going nowhere
44:45But Atate
44:46Breaks off
44:47Maeda
44:48But to safety for Rangers
44:50Celtic
44:51Asserting the pressure
44:52They want a winner
44:53There's going to be four additional minutes
45:02At the end of the 90
45:03At the end of the 90
45:03At the end of the 90
45:04At the end of the 90
45:05At the end of the 90
45:06At the end of the 90
45:08Ralston
45:09Feeds Forrest
45:11Now Scales
45:17Scales are wide
45:19Kieran Tierney deflection on it
45:22Where will it land
45:23As Raskan to scramble it away
45:26Desperation for Rangers
45:28Ricoching around in the box
45:33Unfortunately for Rangers
45:38They're able to clear their lines there
45:40Tierney again
45:43This time with the right foot
45:44It's a lofted one
45:45Nagoma can only stab it away
45:47To Ralston
45:49Nagoma can't get that all the way
45:54It's Engels that keeps it in play
45:56For Forrest
45:57McGregor demands it
45:59Now directs the play to Engels
46:01What can he conjure up from here
46:03Tierney's at the back post
46:04So too is Raskan
46:09It's a breathless end to the 90
46:11We've almost played one of the four additional minutes
46:14We're heading to extra time as things stand
46:21I think whoever this ends
46:23I think Rangers deserve a fair bit of credit for the second half performance
46:27Cornelius is going to be another Celtic corner
46:31You would not put it past a Mark Noneal team
46:35To come up with a dramatic finish in a big game
46:38Absolutely and as much as you can give credit to Rangers for the performance
46:42They're wanting a result
46:45Tierney
46:47Stabbed clear
46:49They don't want a pat on the back and a defeat inside 90 minutes
46:53That is for sure
46:54They need to concentrate here
46:56Through Hitate
46:58For Scales now
46:59Tierney wants it again
47:00He's had a number of crossing opportunities out on that far side
47:04Scales
47:07Another minute
47:10Ticks off
47:11Hitate
47:12Forrest
47:14First time
47:15Hitate blazes it
47:17Over the top
47:18What a chance for Rio Hitate
47:20Martin O'Neill cannot believe it
47:22What a chance indeed
47:25I mean Forrest
47:26He's been outstanding really
47:28I think he's maybe trying to pull it back for Troste
47:30And it lands it
47:32Hitate
47:33Blazed over the crossbar
47:35But
47:36You know just as that is unfolding
47:39I can't
47:40There's times where Celtic
47:42They're looking to just keep things all down one side
47:44And really
47:45Exactly what happens in the end is what they're needing to do
47:48Stretch out the other side
47:49It's where the space is
47:51Jaden Magoma is off
47:53Max Ahrens
47:54Comes on
47:55Scales gives the shout to his captain
48:11Moore
48:18Is it Rangers who
48:21Have the final say
48:22Not so
48:23As McGregor
48:24And Maida
48:25And Tierney
48:26Surround the winger
48:27Scales
48:29Oh it was a risky one
48:30Closed down by Gossama
48:31But
48:32Celtic will get out of jail
48:34Ralston
48:37Wins the free kick from Raskan
48:39Engels wants to take it quickly
48:41With the seconds ticking away
48:43And Wals
48:44Wants it to be moved back half a metre
48:47Well credit to Rangers
48:48Honestly you know
48:49They're down to ten men
48:50And they are
48:51Bursting a gut
48:52Shutting Celtic down
48:53High up the park
48:55You know this has not been a performance in the second half
48:58Where they've just camped in and soaked up pressure
49:00They've really gone after Celtic
49:02Tierney
49:06Cornelius stretches to flip that away
49:09It's the race between Ahrens and Ralston
49:12Ralston will accept the throw in
49:14The final seconds
49:16Before we
49:17Head to extra time
49:20Celtic have one last chance to put one in the box
49:22It's Ralston
49:23It's Tierney
49:24Who takes it down
49:25Kieran Tierney
49:26Takes a deflection
49:27Celtic won't have the opportunity for the corner
49:30Which they are not happy about at all
49:34The final act of the 90 minutes
49:38Producing
49:40Drama
49:42As we have seen
49:44Well what a game that preceded that
49:47And we have 30 more minutes
49:49Between Danny Rolls Rangers
49:51And Martin O'Neill Celtic
49:53After the 90 minutes
49:55It's Celtic won
49:56Rangers won
49:57And we head
49:58To extra time for a place
