00:00Let's have a look at today's teams at Ibrox.
00:30Tony Roel makes five changes from the Motherwell match and three of them are just in front of Jack Butlund.
00:38Lujan Sterling, Emmanuel Fernandes and Tor Rommens all come in.
00:43Andreas Stob Olsen is also in from the off and there's a start for Ryan Nadiri.
00:50Dropping to the bench, Tavernier, Diamande, Kassama, Chiga and Magoma.
00:54Derek McInnes makes two changes from the Edinburgh Derby.
00:59Alexander Schmotto kept a clean sheet here on his debut in September.
01:04Craig Halkin is back from a ban, he was in Rangers youth system.
01:08Mark Leonard has slotted in well in the absence of Cammy Devlin.
01:12There's a first start for the Brazilian Aju.
01:18Thirteen goal, Claudio Braga is the focal point.
01:23Frankie Kent and Landry Kabore dropped to the bench.
01:27Ryan Nadiri scored twice on his first start against Queen's Park in the Cup.
01:39Can he make an impact here in this mighty match?
01:44Javier Braga has been a little bit quiet lately by his standards but then his standards are high.
01:53Could this be his kind of game?
01:55It is Armed Forces Day at Ibrox and the Royal Marines are dropping in from the roof to deliver the match ball.
02:11I saw them rehearsing earlier, safe to say that bit was pretty slippy with the amount of rain that was around earlier.
02:24It's one of those days in Scottish football when the stakes could not be any higher.
02:46They have reached the extreme limit.
02:49A 97-minute winner for Celtic at Kilmarnock after they were 2-0 down.
02:57What now for Rangers and for Hearts?
03:07It's a race for the title that will captivate us until its conclusion.
03:19Well Danny Rojo and Derek McInnes have certainly made quite an impact at their clubs.
03:26And it could get even better for them.
03:29Hearts have already won at Ibrox and Celtic Park this season.
03:45The last team to win three away games at the Old Firm in a season was, yes, you guessed it, Sir Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen.
03:51Here comes the man with the ball, the Royal Marines.
04:03Don Robertson is the referee with Kevin Clancy on VAR duty.
04:25The Royal Marines are here in force.
04:35We are ready for action and there should be plenty of that.
04:40Hearts have been top of the table for 20 weeks and one day, what's another 13 weeks to stay there James?
04:50Well, if it was as easy as that, I'm sure Derek McInnes would be delighted.
04:53Hearts have done fantastic to be where they are and coming into a game like today, these are the games you want to see.
05:00Huge pressure for both clubs, Hearts leading the way and they'll be looking to go and extend that leap.
05:05Rangers look to cut that leap and keep themselves in there.
05:28Rangers have scored in the first eight minutes in their last three games and four of their last five,
05:33what they would give for that sequence to continue on this huge day in this massive match.
05:40Hoisted high by Sterling, hoisted high by Finlay.
05:45Between them, these two have played 52 premiership matches this season and only lost five.
06:04Hearts three of them, Rangers just two of them and they were both against Hearts.
06:10Halkin missed the Edinburgh derby through suspension.
06:16McIntyre knocked away by Romans.
06:20Into window arrival.
06:22Belgian left back.
06:25Falkin Tee has been such a solid performer in whichever position he's played.
06:36Right back, right midfield, centre mid.
06:40There are five points between Rangers and Haas and Celtic are also between them now.
06:56Well, he's masterminded ten wins over Rangers as a manager.
07:09Chesmikov, Raskin takes charge and found a way out to Chimiti, he's linking up with Scott Olsen.
07:24Dijon Sterling is available.
07:26Scott Olsen can't find him.
07:32Because the reader's in the way.
07:34They got a bit lucky there, Chimiti for me.
07:35I think the passes, the little reverse to Mikey Moore had made a fantastic run just inside him.
07:40And then a slight pass away from Scott Olsen.
07:44But this game is going to take a while to settle down and expect it to be frantic very early on.
07:49This is a day that may well be looked back on come the month of May when we will know its true significance.
08:00Souter facing his former club.
08:06Raskin for the returning Emmanuel Fernandes.
08:10Useful when it comes to corners and set pieces.
08:13Five goals.
08:19Sterling preferred to Tavernier.
08:22Benny Beningame bringing this away.
08:32That's going to be an immediate yellow card for the Brazilian on his first stop.
08:38Yeah, the ball just runs away from him.
08:40Benny Beningame, excellent break forward.
08:43Just a follow through, catches Raskin, who's there to tidy up for his team.
08:47Well, that didn't take long, will you?
08:59Six substitute appearances for Hartz.
09:01He's had injury issues, but he's been strutting his stuff on the training ground in recent weeks since his first start today.
09:11He's been strutting here to take the free kicks.
09:18Mikey Moore over towards Fernandes, the usual target and no wonder with his record.
09:28And no wonder with his record.
09:29Shacked away by Agu.
09:30McInty.
09:31Sterling has to be wary of.
09:36McIntyre, Sterling has to be wary of Jair O'Braga, misjudged by Naderi, Finlay
09:58Jair has gone up for offside but Rangers have the ball so can carry on
10:06Andres Skobolson away for Sterling
10:22there's quite a few in the box cleared by Milne Skobolson couldn't get his strike away Sita pinged it
10:34to Rollins
10:36Chikwami, Raskan
10:47Sita
10:58Fernandes
10:59Raskan is on to this
11:04Dealing with Skobolson
11:08Dealing with Skobolson
11:15Leonard gets the free kick
11:17for Sterling
11:26Mark Leonard who was in Hart's youth system before leaving for Brighton returned on loan from Birmingham because of Kermit Evelyn's injury
11:35Harry Milne
11:48Deary back there defending
12:00but a heart's throw
12:01Yeah I think a lot of the you know the focus is clearly on the football as it should be but both
12:09teams very strong from set plays as well it's going to play a big part in the game today
12:13And we know Oshin McInty has a long throw in him
12:18Craig Halkett
12:20Craig Halkett
12:23the nearest contender it's gone over his head in fact
12:26and was cleared by Raskan so good in the air
12:30it's poor
12:30and McInty on the return
12:35it's dangerous throw though it's flat it's it's one that
12:38very difficult to defend against
12:41and I said about he's he's crossed the better
12:42Chimiti Halkett in the way
12:53it's going to be a free kick as Chesnikov
12:57called Skobolson
13:12here's Raskan
13:24Arts could win three successive games against
13:27Rangers for the first time since 1986 when they blew the title on the final day
13:42Raskan
13:48Fernandes
13:51Sterling on the chase he's quick but not that quick
13:53yeah he's unlucky
13:54Fernandes because it's the pass you know it's Skobolson and Mikey Moore
13:59you thought they were going to be playing in the wide areas but they're coming inside the pitch
14:02and it's leaving space for Sterling and Romans to go and get high and force the full backs all the way
14:08back the pitch and it is on but he just doesn't cut across it Fernandes
14:14McInnes could have been Rangers manager himself it nearly happened back in 2017 nearly but not quite
14:37the shoulder problem here for McInty will be a concern for McInnes
14:43he's like so many in this hearts team have been so consistent throughout this campaign
14:54yeah I mean comes up this challenge here
14:59he lands pretty awkwardly or Shane McInty heavy on the shoulder as it's extended there
15:09he certainly looks really as if he's really struggling
15:14well they do have Jody Altanar into window arrival on the bench and Michael Steinwender who's played
15:25right back before a few times as well
15:31Steenwender there
15:32it doesn't look great as they pass the messages to the dugout no I mean they're not even they're not
15:47even doing anything to it he's clearly struggling here McIntyre and it looks like they're going to be
15:54forced into an early substitution here hearts
15:56Michael Steinwender scored his first hearts goal on his first start for them against Rangers at
16:03Towncastle last season
16:11you can see not getting much sympathy but clearly
16:15there's an issue here and you can see
16:18the anguish in him
16:19yeah I mean because it's an injury exam the Rangers fans are wanting him off the pitch which is
16:26clearly
16:28uncomfortable here
16:37that's forced into an early change but Steinwender more than used to
16:43playing in that role
16:44yeah I think it's you know McIntyre's playing there
16:50he's a good player of course and he's very flexible can play in a number of positions but
16:54his height and his you know his physicality I think that's
16:58pretty much why it's Steinwender is the replacement rather than Altanar
17:02Suter got to that ahead of Braga
17:09Chesnikov giving Chikwani a hard time
17:15Chikwani not only found a way out he's got the free kick
17:18yeah he does well Chikwani I think Chesnikov lets him off the hook
17:21in all fairness he goes to the left side the Chikwani allowing him to drive turn and run out the other side
17:35Oshin McIntyre was saying as he went up the tunnel that he felt he might have
17:39dislocated his shoulder Harry Milne will get to that ahead of Dujon Sterling
17:44a rather frantic start
18:06Fernandes
18:10Mikey Moore on loan from Spurs
18:14Chikwani gets another go at it
18:36there's an off the ball moment there but Rangers still going
18:40in Yusef Chimiti it's an easy take for a swallow
18:48yeah it's comfortable for him decent decent enough from Chimiti until he puts the cross in
18:54but the way Rangers are setting up are causing hearts problems
18:57Mikey Moore on this left-hand side just freedom to go inside
19:02it's then that miscommunication between Steinwender and Chesnikov as to who picks him up
19:07and likewise Scott Vols on the other side
19:10and likewise Scott Vols on the other side
19:20Chesnikov's is really going to go outside and it's caught in the secondary he's got a good score for a ball
19:23the ball in the early days
19:25on the finish at the finish at the finish at the end of the season
19:25but early days at the end of the season
19:26they're not going to go outside and they're going to go ahead and you go outside
19:27the way back and we see what's going to go into the front
19:29Finlay clears, great break of the ball there for Rangers, as Harts go on the move, Chesnikov.
19:45I think he needs to keep driving forward there Chesnikov, Normans is playing so high that if he drives into that space that he's left in, you need to think twice about going as high the next time.
19:57Dealing with Braga once more.
20:16Raskan.
20:18Rangani.
20:20Denningamy.
20:24Harry Milne was suspended for the December win over Rangers at Tyne Castle.
20:33Grangers at Tuncastle, Steinwender, is the side really settling it?
20:46No they're not, I think the Grangers have settled better in terms of having control, I think the Harts need to try and sit on the ball a little bit longer.
20:55It's Leonard, it's Claudio Braga, Leonard! What a strike that is! Mark Leonard!
21:11Harts have an early lead at Ibrox in this match that matters so much!
21:20And that was a finish gifted by Fernandes!
21:25I was just saying how much Rangers have settled better into the game and Nico Raskin just turns his back on it.
21:31It is a gift but you still have to take advantage of it and Harts do, Fernandes as you see trying to play to Raskin who isn't looking.
21:39Recovery not great you have to say from Rangers, it's an incredible strike.
21:43It looked like Braga was going to take it on his left foot, get the shot away, he's trying to get back on his right to get the shot himself.
21:49Praises a mind to see Leonard, unstoppable from Leonard.
21:53There's a gift from Rangers but well capitalised on my Harts.
21:58First goal for almost two years since he got one on loan at Northampton against Burton Albion.
22:14What a finish and what a moment!
22:19I was just saying about, you know, Rangers look as if they'd settled on the ball.
22:23A slack pass from Fernandes, allows Harts to go and take advantage of the situation.
22:30Fair play to them and they make the most of it.
22:33áis
22:38Täti
22:40faule by Halket
22:42so early setback for Danny Rowell and there's nothing worse that he could have done to counter that dreadful moments.
22:46so really set back for Danny Roll and there's nothing else that he could have done
22:54to counter that dreadful moment but Mark Leonard has been outstanding and having to replace
23:03Cammy Devlin as well that says a lot yeah it does I think that you know when Cammy Devlin
23:07got injured many felt that that was a huge ball which it was the hearts but full credit
23:11to Mark Leonard he's come in and really performed at a high level
23:15here's Romans as Rangers look to answer back
23:26Mikey Moore
23:29Romans put a lovely cross in
23:33to meet he's saved
23:35and again the line has been crossed in
23:39Rangers have got their equaliser
23:43instantly
23:45the theory pouncing
23:47two big moments
23:51in one big match
23:52Spolo felt like he was keeping Rangers out
23:56he wasn't
23:57he wasn't and it comes from hearts giving the ball away
24:00credit again to Rangers
24:02for making the most of it
24:04I'm not sure
24:06I thought there was question marks of the goalkeeper but it's reaction save after reaction save
24:13and full credit to Rangers they get bodies in the box
24:15Romans down this left hand side lovely little cross into a dangerous area
24:19great header
24:20and Mikey Moore hitting the ball down
24:22the hearts just make a mess of it in the end but
24:25Rangers capitalising on a mistake
24:27so quick after a mistake of their own
24:31and it's Steinwender
24:32slashing it
24:34into his own net
24:35Derek McInnes down below is
24:39furious at that slack pass into midfield
24:42he wanted that
24:43in behind of his options
24:45and hearts just don't go with it
24:47well
24:50not long on the field
24:52Michael Steinwender
24:55has slashed that into his own net
24:56the VAR check
24:58of all that went on there
25:00is complete
25:01and it is 1-1
25:03and this game
25:04has quickly come to life
25:06yeah
25:06I mean
25:06Rangers do the other way
25:08to keep it alive
25:08Steinwender
25:09he should be able to deal with that
25:11he should
25:12I know that he's turned round
25:14and it's quick at him
25:15but the pressure's there as well from Rangers
25:19expected a lot from this game
25:23certainly getting it early
25:25and
25:26Stuart Finlay
25:29was receiving treatment in the aftermath of all that
25:32he's okay
25:32and hearts will be thankful about that after
25:35already losing McInty
25:37yeah
25:38undoubtedly
25:39I think it's a huge blow early
25:42for any team when you've set your
25:44your team up
25:45and you've got your game plan
25:45and you have to make a change early
25:47particularly to that backlight
25:48you can make two of that
25:50they've been
25:50I don't know
25:51a big blow for them
25:52but they have to find a reaction here
25:54that's
25:54Rangers reaction
25:56to go behind
25:56excellent
25:57game on
26:01well
26:15well
26:15well
26:15just two and a half minutes
26:25between the two goals
26:26that's excellent from Romans
26:35seen off Steinbender
26:37to Niti
26:38couldn't get to it
26:40Mikey Moore
26:41found his route
26:43blocked by
26:44Hockett
26:44as Rangers
26:45go gumming for hearts now
26:47that's excellent from Romans
26:48not giving it up
26:49great strength
26:50Steinbender again
26:51for me
26:52has to deal with it
26:53but
26:53full credit to Romans
26:54and when this ball comes back
26:56I think it's Scott Bolton
26:57on the edge of the box
26:58I thought he was going to hit it first time
26:59yeah
27:00there
27:00takes a touch
27:02and allows hearts to reset
27:03it's a good block in the end
27:04from Craig Halkett
27:05Mikey Moore ready to take this corner
27:13can Rangers complete a
27:16speedy turnaround
27:18and Ibrox
27:20it's in by Moore
27:22Raskin looking for that usual flick on
27:24Sterling
27:28moved away from Kisaridis
27:30Nadiri lurking in there
27:35Suter trying to get to it
27:36and a free kick has been given to Hoffman
27:39it's frantic
27:41that's for sure
27:42and it's great
27:44because the pace of the game is so high
27:45there is a VAR check going on at the moment
27:55they do look at everything of course
27:57Tom Robertson has been instructed to delay
28:02matters
28:03for the moment
28:05but that check is complete
28:07and on we go
28:07seem like a long time to look at nothing now
28:13Stan Bender
28:27playing it safe
28:29probably wise
28:30there is a lot to keep an eye on for Don Robertson today
28:57yeah there is and we expected that
28:58feisty game
29:00just looking at Steinbender
29:03it's always difficult coming on as a sub
29:05any point in the game
29:06but when you come on early
29:07you need to go up to speed as quick as you can
29:09he'll still be trying to catch his breath
29:11and get his second win
29:12Penningini
29:17has to go back to Finlay
29:24because he was confronted by Raskan
29:26Leonard the goal scorer
29:27Harry Mill
29:29Sterling
29:33Celtic
29:47leapfropped Rangers
29:49earlier with that
29:50last gas
29:51winner at Kilmarnock
29:53after they came from 2-0 down
29:54Arts with a four point lead
29:58as it stands
29:59plenty more twists and turns to come
30:05not just in this day
30:06but in this season
30:08yeah it's great isn't it
30:11this season has certainly been an education for him
30:23yeah that has
30:24I think you know
30:25he's shown that
30:26he's a very good player
30:27great intelligence
30:30but just again
30:33we're looking at the league table in February
30:35and look at how much
30:36these games are having an impact
30:38and you know
30:39what it can mean
30:40going into the
30:40you know the run into the season
30:42it's absolutely brilliant
30:43well still have a little blip
30:48October going into November
30:50one win in six
30:51but
30:51there were four draws in that
30:53maybe that was their blip
30:55Chikwani
31:07Sorov Adju
31:10Sita
31:12pins a pass
31:15perfectly to Sterling
31:17Andreas Scott Olsen
31:20Chikwani
31:22Romans
31:29Ruskan
31:31Chikwani
31:41caught by Braga
31:42useful free kick
31:45for Rangers
31:46yep
31:47Chikwani
31:49trying to take control of the game
31:51and it is a foul
31:55it's a cheap one for Braga
31:56to give away
31:56particularly this area
31:57for Rangers
31:58where they're so dangerous
31:59Andreas Scott Olsen
32:14and Mikey Moore
32:15over this
32:15and of course
32:16Emmanuel Fernandes there
32:18not the only threat
32:21with
32:21Nico Ruskan
32:22more than capable
32:24from these sort of situations too
32:26Scott Olsen
32:30pinged it in
32:30away by
32:32Steinwender
32:32Sterling
32:42will accept a corner
32:43of the goal scorer
32:46at the hearts
32:47yeah
32:51it'll need to be a better delivery
32:53from Scott Olsen
32:54it's a good area
32:54for the wide free kick
32:56you need to make sure
32:57you've given your players
32:59something to go and attack
33:00hearts have scored
33:0113 goals from corners
33:03in the premiership
33:03this season
33:04but Rangers have scored 11
33:05this one comes in
33:07from Andreas Scott Olsen
33:08not too near it
33:10a nudge away
33:12from Kisaridis
33:12but Mikey Moore
33:14is coming back for more
33:15too much traffic
33:19on the way in there
33:21oh
33:21Chesnikov
33:23it's going to go
33:23the other way
33:24actually
33:24and there will be
33:25a yellow card
33:27for a dive here
33:29by Scott Olsen
33:31I have to say
33:32from here
33:33and I'm quite a bit away
33:34that looked like
33:35he'd left a leg in there
33:37Scott Olsen
33:37looking for it
33:39and Robertson
33:41clear that he did
33:42yeah
33:44and it's a good decision
33:46it's the correct decision
33:48and it's a good one
33:49and he doesn't have to do it
33:53Scott Olsen
33:54he's past Chesnikov
33:56good spot from Don Robertson there
34:05yeah it is
34:06and
34:06again
34:08I just don't know why
34:09he's opted to go down there
34:11Scott Olsen
34:11he's beyond Chesnikov
34:13oh this is
34:15broken here for
34:16Adju
34:16Chikwani back to block it
34:20Steinbenders cross
34:21and it's in
34:23and it just had to be
34:25this man
34:26Claudio Braga
34:27the hearts
34:29and the leaders
34:30are back in front again
34:32in the season
34:34that keeps on giving
34:35for so many
34:37I'll tell you what
34:38that is an outstanding header
34:40from Claudio Braga
34:41the power he gets on it
34:44the leap
34:44I mean
34:45it looked
34:47initially
34:48as you may have been offside
34:50the shot's blocked
34:51that is an incredible header
34:54backing into John Suter
34:56who really needs to take control of the situation
34:59but
35:00that is an outstanding header
35:02from Claudio Braga
35:03great cross in
35:04from Steinbender
35:05into the area
35:06and then it's all about
35:08Claudio Braga
35:09tremendous header
35:11what a game we have here to date
35:13well the
35:16offside is being checked
35:19so
35:19Claudio Braga
35:20is praying
35:21and waiting to hear
35:23if this
35:24goal will stand
35:25the goal
35:26does stand
35:28for Claudio Braga
35:29and on we go
35:30with hearts
35:312-1
35:32up at Ibrox
35:33that's incredible
35:34you know
35:34Rangers have the opportunity
35:36great cross in
35:37from Scott Volst
35:37he's driving into the box
35:39decides to go down
35:39and hearts managed to go up
35:41the other end of the pitch
35:42I mean
35:43I'll keep saying it
35:44it is a quite magnificent header
35:46for Claudio Braga
35:47he's actually been a bit quieter
35:52than usual lately
35:53only one goal
35:54in his
35:54last six matches
35:56and
35:56zero
35:57assists
35:58but
35:59he just knew
36:02this might be
36:02his kind of stage
36:03yeah
36:04and he's normally
36:06playing in
36:07a supporting role
36:08where he's got that freedom
36:09playing through the middle
36:11actually he's up beside him
36:12but
36:12playing through the middle
36:14on his own
36:14and
36:14I mean
36:16John Sutter
36:17for me should deal with it better
36:18but he's on the way back
36:19he's then difficult to go
36:20and attack it
36:21Braga just backs in
36:22and just
36:24it's a good cross in
36:26but you're not expecting
36:27Braga to be able to find
36:28the back of the net from there
36:29Rangers have responded once
36:32they must go again
36:47they just took two and a half minutes to hit back
36:59first time around
37:01yeah what will be the last time we see that today
37:14Sterling
37:15Sterling
37:16Skob Olsson
37:17Skob Olsson
37:18Skob Olsson
37:20lost to have the best away record in the premiership but have lost two of their last four games
37:36on the road
37:52it's a big waste from Chikwane
38:00who offers
38:00an apology
38:02Tony Rolls Rangers doing it the hard way
38:07they were
38:0813 points behind Hartz when he came in
38:11if they
38:14pull this around and win today
38:17the gap
38:18would be
38:20down to two
38:21Sterling
38:38brushed off Kisaridis
38:39Skob Olsson
38:43gives it away to Beningami
38:44Henry Mill
38:54nice flick for Kisaridis
38:56he's grounded but
38:58he's going to be given that
39:01as a free kick
39:14gets him on the foot
39:15I thought it was just a
39:16coming together there but
39:18catches him on the foot Sterling
39:19Alex Kisaridis has created more chances than any other player in the
39:25premiership this season
39:27three more than the Rangers captain
39:29James Tavernier who's on the bench for this one
39:32Kisaridis
39:39Kisaridis
39:39Kisaridis
39:40Kisaridis
39:41Kisaridis
39:41Kisaridis
39:42for Beningami
39:43It's time Vendor, a bit of a relieved man after his own goal, Chesnikov couldn't keep that in.
39:57No, it's 2-1 the scoreline, 2-1, shots and target for each side.
40:06The Rangers, you can see the possession, I felt that they settled into the game well, perhaps the ones that are in front.
40:20The Rangers fans were screaming for a handball.
40:27That looked like a clear handball from here.
40:36Sterling's cross, Chesnikov had a look around but the ball has carried to Tor Romans.
40:43Chesnikov losing out, Mikey Moore.
41:00Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:07Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:09Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:10Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:11Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:13Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:15Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:17Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:19Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:21Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:23Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:25Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:27Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:28Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:29Sterling's cross, Chesnikov.
41:30and Cermiti fires white
41:33yeah he picks up a really good position
41:38because of Cermiti and it's a good pass from John Sutter
41:41Rangers just probing looking for that opening
41:43it comes for Cermiti
41:45and he opps to go and cut on to the left
41:49it's not a great effort but it's a good position
41:51and here's what the Rangers fans were shouting for
41:54I mean it is a handball but does it fall under the supporting arm
42:01can't agree
42:02for Tom by Steinwender
42:16really made up for his OG with an assist for Braga
42:19Nadiri
42:20Cermiti
42:27Mikey Moore
42:29happy to take the long way round
42:31but he's kept the ball until that moment
42:34Cermiti was he caught there
42:38Tom Robinson happy to let this go
42:42Sterling
42:45Cermiti
42:47back on his feet but he wasn't ready for the pass
42:51I can't believe Dijon Sterling's played it Tim
42:53and now Azu looking to slip Kizarita's in
42:58there's a bit to be done yet
43:00now Claudio Braga takes over
43:03and he has slipped as he crossed it
43:07back on his foot
43:14Spav Olsen
43:20Cermiti
43:21second goal
43:25Rangers respond again
43:30this is already a classic
43:36this is Yusuf Kamiti
43:38and it's 2-2
43:41in what is a colossal contest
43:46I can't believe the passage of play I've just seen there
43:48from Rangers Ed to Hearts
43:50and to me it does really well
43:51he's looking for that pass inside
43:53and it is fortunate when it comes back to him
43:54but it's a really good finish
43:56this touch here from the D-rate
43:57allows Rangers to carry it forward
44:00he's looking for the return pass to Mite Bok
44:02but it bounces back to him
44:04makes no mistake at the near post
44:07smash it beyond
44:08swallow
44:09this is some game
44:13I mean it's not
44:13it's some game for quality
44:15but certainly for action
44:17empty and plate
44:18which is
44:24fifth Rangers goal
44:25he scored twice
44:26at Celtic Park
44:28big game goal scorer
44:30Yusuf Kamiti
44:31what next as we head towards the final
44:35five minutes of this extraordinary half
44:38honestly you think about
44:4130-40 seconds before it
44:44he's on the ground
44:44the ball gets past him
44:45he's not ready for it
44:46all of a sudden
44:47he's up at the other end
44:48and put the ball in the back of the net
44:51he'll make a quick recovery for sure
44:54Kilmarnock and Celtic produced a five goal thriller earlier
45:03we're not far off that in the first half here
45:05Chester Copp
45:08shouldn't pick out that for
45:10Kiseridis
45:11but he fouled
45:13Sterling
45:15there's a few cards being
45:18imaginary cards being waved in the crowd over there
45:21promises we picked up
45:30and he's swearing along the way
45:31Reiki Moore
45:36Fernandes
45:55Moore
45:58Rangers looking to go ahead for the first time
46:04Mikey Moore looking to latch on to this
46:10but Swallow will clip
46:11it's a different approach
46:16Mikey Moore is picking up excellent positions
46:18and without touching the ball
46:19he is making an impact
46:20but in this occasion
46:21it's the passing behind
46:23the running behind
46:24it's always going towards Swallow
46:26but certainly a different approach
46:28from Rangers
46:29Chimiti
46:34no flag
46:35Chikwani's in the box
46:37Scott Olsen's there too
46:39and it's
46:41away by Harry Milne
46:42and now Adju
46:43and now Braga
46:45he's turned into traffic
46:49but then he was fouled
46:50by Raskan
46:52yeah he just couldn't get free
46:56to play the pass
46:57Braga he does well
46:59to hold the ball up
47:00certainly we're going to have to break
47:04for half time soon
47:05certainly don't have a game on excitement
47:12not for a while yet though
47:16there will be
47:17as it stands
47:18four minutes added on
47:20Parker
47:31away by Romans
47:35it's another free kick
47:38as Madhiri took out Beningami
47:40and they will send up
47:53Craig Halkett
47:54and
47:55Stuart Finlay
47:56both of whom have scored
48:01six goals this season
48:03Stuart Finlay
48:08has actually won his last
48:09three games
48:10against Rangers
48:11two with Hearts
48:12one with Kilmana
48:13it's Lennar then
48:17and it's inviting
48:18dealt with by Romans though
48:21Kizaridis took it on
48:27and it sticks with Butland
48:29yeah he wants the space
48:32well Kizaridis
48:32but
48:33comfortable on for Butland
48:35when you speak about
48:36the threat of Stuart Finlay
48:37for some reason
48:38he doesn't go in and attack it
48:39he's hanging around
48:40at the edge of the box
48:41yeah that's a good
48:43clean save from Jack Butland
48:45for Askan
48:47Sterling
48:50what next in this game
48:51it could be anything
48:54quite frankly
48:54Sutter spreads it to Fernandes
49:02Sutter spreads it to Fernandes
49:02yeahanu
49:04who's like
49:05the right
49:10he uses
49:11the right
49:12who is
49:13going to
49:15go
49:16the left
49:17of確
49:18invest it to
49:19the gate
49:20and
49:21N'
49:22right
49:23he
49:24wanted to
49:25come
49:25second
49:26off
49:26home
49:26in a
49:27good
49:28car
49:29luas
49:31with that it's going back to Raskan
49:37Raskan
49:41Hart's turn Braga
49:48Casaritas isn't getting to that Emmanuel Fernandes is
49:54Finlay with a Finlay type header Beningami
50:03Islam Chesnikov Kazakhstan International four extra minutes in this first half is
50:11confirmed
50:24it's time vendor Diningami
50:36to turn away from Nadiri Leonard
50:41who started it all off on the goal scoring front
50:46Casaritas
50:47Diningami
50:51well he's only scored twice for Hart's
50:55and those two goals were years ago
50:58but he saw a bit of glory beckoning there
51:00yeah he did the pass out wide
51:02which time vendor had made the run
51:05but it's great play from Hart's
51:06whoping it from one side to the next
51:08Casaritas stepping inside
51:09yeah he doesn't score many
51:12Beningami
51:13there had to have been something special from him there
51:16Beningami scoring a screamer
51:20he would have topped off this first half for sure
51:22Suter
51:33over to Rommens
51:36it was always going to be a bit tricky
51:40yeah he does
51:41almost does really well
51:43Rommens
51:43he does actually well to give him a chance
51:46to keep him in mixes over here
51:47from John Suter
51:48from John Suter
51:48from John Suter
51:53Sterling
52:11well aware that Casaritas was in close attendance
52:14here he is again found by Milne
52:18Beningami
52:21Chimiti moves in
52:23to good effect
52:25he has been clipped by Gary Milne
52:30and Don Robertson is just going to have a word I think
52:34yeah I've heard it lenient
52:39from Don Robertson I have to say
52:40and Chimiti does really well on this side
52:43to get back and win the ball back
52:45and if he gets beyond
52:48I think Scov Olsen made a run up the line
52:50I think he's very fortunate
52:52Harry Milne there
52:53Raskan
52:58Scov Olsen
53:01Chikwani
53:02nearly carried back to Raskan
53:04Chimiti
53:06tried to dink that through
53:10Ricky Moore had Adieu in his way
53:13Jack Buckland's way out
53:23he found a way to Chikwani
53:26Steinwender
53:31pokes the ball away from Chimiti
53:34this engrossing
53:46and enthralling first half is drawing to a close
53:50yeah unfortunately
53:51there has been normal action
53:53plenty happening
53:54hopefully the second half delivers
53:56as much as the first has
53:58I don't think Rangers are going to have any time to do anything here
54:06as
54:06an epic first half draws to a close
54:09after a mistake from Fernandes
54:12Mark Leonard
54:13fired in the opener
54:14teed up by Braga
54:16but Rangers quickly leveled
54:18two and a half minutes later
54:19as
54:19Michael Steinwender
54:21slashed the ball into his own net
54:23but
54:24this man just had to get in on the act
54:26but
54:28have to take a look at
54:29to take the ball out
54:30the other side
54:31I don't know
54:32there's no reason
54:33there's too much
54:34there's a lot of
54:36the moment
54:37and then
54:37there's no reason
54:38that
54:39it's
54:40the same
54:40as
54:41the
54:42the
54:43the
54:44the
54:45that
54:47the
54:47the
54:49the
54:51the
54:52the
54:52the
54:53the
54:53the
