00:00this one Neil we spoke about it for the last 45 minutes or so but when you look at the
00:04two teams
00:04it all comes down to the players on the pitch where will this game be potentially won and lost
00:11it's a great question I think obviously midfield's always a huge proponent in this game but I think
00:16it's the the attacking facets of both teams you know if Celtic get on top can they take their
00:24chances can't show me he rock up for Rangers because he's a big game player and he's got talent
00:30so I think you know both ends of the attacking side of the both teams for me is going to
00:35define
00:36this game today we've said with regards to both teams a lack of 90 minute performances as well
00:42does it come down to potentially the team that can can excel for the longest period of time if
00:47they can put a 90 minute yeah it does but you know nine times out of ten you're coming at
00:50these games
00:51and speaking about the attacking talent you've got on show but I think it'll be whatever defense
00:55stands up today because we've seen both teams I think defensively are fragile Rangers we've spoken
01:00about them for a number of weeks being really really good defensively you know everybody was
01:05myself included had said that you know John Suter was really struggling but you look at it now
01:09Jaeger and Fernandes have been you know a pair now for a number of weeks that have shipped a lot
01:12of goals
01:13and so maybe John Suter wasn't the problem you know and for Celtic you look last week against Hibbs
01:18we're in control of that game then all of a sudden switch off and punished and then it changes
01:22everything at half time and we've seen that from Celtic as well over a period of time with a
01:26loose sloppy sloppy goal so yes we've got attacking talent on show but for me I think it'll be whatever
01:33defense comes out I think you've got a striker in Cermity that is erratic you don't know if he's
01:38going to finish but he can he's shown he can decide these games I think Celtic we've got a striker
01:42in
01:42Maeda that's erratic you don't know if he's going to finish but he's decided these games so it will come
01:46down to that for me whoever takes their chances but also set players are going to be huge we know
01:51how strong Rangers are from them in terms of the attacking sense it could be you know a big one
01:56and I think the defenders defences need to step up to it but it could be you know decided by
02:01two
02:01players that we know so well that have decided this fixture previously somebody mention the goalkeepers
02:06because we've covered everything else one who's going to be right
02:07the scene has been set the title is on the line the hopes of both could be made or
02:16braked broken sorry this afternoon so let's join our company team for this one Chris Sutton
02:21is alongside Ian Crocker thank you Ailey and let's have a look at the teams on derby day in Glasgow
02:32Martin O'Neill makes just one change from the hips game for Yami Sinisano is in goal Alistair Johnson
02:40has made a timely return to action it's Callum McGregor's 48th derby the most for his club this century
02:47the solitary change sees a fourth old firm start for Luke McCowan Dyson Maeda has found some form with four
02:55goals in the last three games Konechi Iheanacho has four in the last five coming off the bench he's
03:01yet to experience this fixture Sebastian Tenecti drops down to be a sub
03:08Tammy Rule makes three changes from Hearts Jack Butland is in goal it's a 46th and final old firm for
03:16James Tavernier and Tor Romans is in from the off there's a first start since January for Conor Baron
03:22and a first league start since November for surprise selection Oliver Anman
03:27Youssef Chimiti has scored four goals against Celtic
03:32Kujan Sterling and Andreas Skov Olsen dropped to the bench but Nico Raskan,
03:36Ryan Nadiri and John Suter are all out with muscle injuries
03:44An extraordinary season is reaching its captivating conclusion and nobody has done it quite like
03:52Scotland
03:52In the beginning of August to the middle of May nine and a half months of stories dramas more stories
04:02more dramas and then even more of the same
04:09It's been a season that has had a bit of everything well scrap that actually
04:14it's a season that's had a lot of everything a whole lot going on
04:27The business end of the season has been show business already but there's still no bigger show
04:33than this the old firm a complete history of rivalry starring Celtic and Rangers
04:41in the late Nina
04:47I можем so major I said I did almost all day
05:04Working into this
05:09We weren't iá»aling
05:10I was there
05:11It's also there
05:25It's the 452nd meeting in major competition, Celtic have won 173, Rangers have won 173,
05:36wouldn't you just know it, how very old firm.
05:47After 17 games without a goal, Eisenmeider has found his touch again, and his timing could be crucial.
05:59Meet of Youssef Chimiti's 12 goals for Rangers have come against Celtic and Hearts, that's a good big game habit
06:06to have.
06:07And I won't be the end of the night, I'll be the end of the storm, there's no hope in
06:30the sky.
06:31I'll be the end of the storm, I'll be the end of the storm, I'll be the end of the
07:01storm.
07:10I'll be the end of the storm, I'll be the end of the storm, I'll be the end of the
07:22storm, I'll be the end of the storm, I'll be the end of the storm.
07:36I think everyone's ready for it, this game could be anything, even more so to me it feels, Chris.
07:45Yep, absolutely, these games are always must-win on day but hugely significant since Celtic hands the title now and
07:56Rangers aren't out of it.
08:00Nine of the last 18 Premiership derbies, there has been a goal in the first ten minutes.
08:08Of course there once was a player who scored after a mere 19 seconds, eh Chris?
08:13Yeah, I don't like to talk about it.
08:18Tilly.
08:27Tilly roll.
08:30He's become the second manager to win his first two league visits to Celtic Park after the great Walter Smith
08:38for Rangers.
08:41Slithered away from Conor Barron, Negrin onto it now.
08:46Tierney.
09:00Tierney, Yang is over there with him.
09:06Just seeing the way that Celtic have set up is McCowan on that right-hand side, played there in Martin
09:11O'Neill's first spell.
09:12Celtic, good footballer, he isn't looking forward to linking up with Alistair Johnson.
09:21Celtic, four points behind Hearts, Rangers eight points behind Hearts.
09:27The old of them are playing catch-up and it's not really their kind of thing.
09:39Rangers have flopped in their first two post-split matches just as they were scoring goals galore and looking like
09:45they had the momentum.
09:49Their mentality questioned again.
09:53Yeah, we've got to find a way to win today.
09:56Just with their set-up.
09:57It was a big afternoon for Ant-Man on that right-hand side. He gets his opportunity.
10:04Gimiti now for Diamande.
10:10He gets involved.
10:12So does Dyson-Mider in their usual Dyson-Mider kind of way.
10:19Engels, he's gonna go for this.
10:22Bounters off Portland.
10:24Back to Mider.
10:27A long way up.
10:29Where Engels is when he strikes this.
10:33Ida does his usual thing.
10:35Good with the press.
10:37And then I think all sorts of movement on the ball.
10:39Not comfortable for Butlin, but he saved it nonetheless.
10:49Celtic have had so many issues this season
10:53Yet Martin O'Neill has somehow kept them in title contention
10:58And there could even be a double in the offing
11:03As Meide gives Tottenham an early warning that he's always about
11:14Mccowan
11:19Fernandes, helped on by Antman, now Mikey Moore and Celtic caught a bit short
11:27Chimiti
11:30It slithers just wide but an early opening for the big game goal scorer
11:35It's good from Mikey Moore, just slips it out right
11:38To Chimiti, who nearly finds that far corner
11:43Yeah he enjoys these fixtures
11:46There's Yang who opened the scoring in the New Year derby here in some style as well
11:52But Rangers came back
11:56To win
11:57Fought up by Diamande on McGregor
12:00That's an interesting duel isn't it?
12:03Danny Grohl will be looking to nullify Callum McGregor
12:07Looks like it's Diamande's job
12:13It's the sixth time these giants of Glasgow have met this season alone
12:19Ah, they're pretty used to that
12:26Giacquani
12:27Up to Giga
12:29And he needs to play safe, put under pressure by Engels
12:43Danny, didn't hang about to get his cross in
12:48And it's to Johnston
12:51It's so hard to feed for Cowan
12:53Engels let it go
12:55But Chica clears
12:57Yeah, Engels let it go
12:59He didn't get a shout from Dazen Maidu, he was on his heels
13:01Who knows?
13:02Who knows?
13:07Who knows?
13:10Who knows?
13:10Negrin
13:1220 goal man this season
13:15McGregor
13:16MuFL
13:20Niziang
13:22Chiquani on his case
13:32it's the usual fast and frantic start
13:35you could say
13:36quite keenly contested
13:45Mick Walsh is the referee today
13:47with John Beaton on VAR duty
13:52what could possibly go wrong
14:03good composure there from Giga
14:05he's received Nick Walsh bro
14:08that long ball Giga's going to have to be watchful with Dazen Maida
14:11and that threat in behind for Celtic
14:19yes Giga and Fernandes have become the preferred partnership at the back
14:23ahead of John Suter who's out with a muscle problem today
14:33Engels
14:34up in the air by Tavernier
14:42Chimiti gave Engels a bump didn't make a secret of it either
14:51scales
14:53now Yang
14:55onto Tierney
14:56again he didn't hang about but it trickles through to Butler
15:01and he didn't try and take Tavernier on them but Tierney had made the underlack
15:15the Rangers are unbeaten in their last six league encounters with Celtic
15:23four different managers along the way such as life in Glasgow
15:31Tor Rotmans who has been a success story for Rangers the Belgian
15:41he's got a good football brain hasn't he he's the preferred one at left back for all Rangers there
15:46that's the Johnson
15:48bringing him down there and getting a warning
15:52Nick Walsh doesn't want to go too early
16:04Celtic haven't beaten Rangers or Hearts this season
16:07this coming week
16:10will be a good time to change that
16:26it's the first Celtic park derby for Sinisalo continuing in goal for Celtic in the absence of
16:35Casper Schmeichel who is here today
16:38Fernandes now Fortuniti
16:40terrific feet
16:41blocked
16:43but in came Mikey Moore
16:49a breathtaking start
16:51to a blockbuster match
16:54and it's Rangers
16:55who are first to show
16:58at the home of their rivals
16:59well first of all
17:02it's brilliant from Fernandes who goes all the way in
17:04with Luke McCowan
17:05Luke McCowan
17:06saying to Nick Walsh I was fouled
17:08and then Schmeichel is just direct
17:13and he gets
17:14an Austin trustee there
17:16there's McCowan
17:17ball pinched off him
17:18I don't see anything in that
17:20Schmeichel
17:21that's too easy
17:22and then he gets the shot off
17:24you can see
17:25Mikey Moore
17:26just strolls onto it
17:28then pops it in
17:29well Sinisalo at his near post
17:31but it's brilliant directness from Schmeichel
17:35there but too easy
17:36Walsh has passed trustee
17:38and Mikey Moore's not going to miss that
17:40and the man who sealed that 3-1 win here in New Year
17:45carries on from where he left off at Celtic Park
17:49the 18 year old who's had the experience of a lifetime on loan from Tottenham
17:54has given Rangers the lead in the first 10 minutes
18:05and here's Dyson Mider
18:08in round the back
18:09Connor Barron is there to clear it
18:11tremendous positioning from Connor Barron
18:14had to be there
18:15that's the bulldozer
18:16Mider
18:17likes to feed off
18:18the one down the channel
18:19in behind
18:41Cholston now for Engels
18:42forceful challenge from
18:44the Romans
18:45as Negrin gets back on his feet
18:47feeling he was fouled
18:49I think that's what's known as a hospital pass
18:55here's McCowan
18:58it's a decent delivery
19:01just about keeping Yang in check there
19:04he did enough the Rangers captain
19:07in that situation
19:09Yang poised to attack it
19:10but he's using his body well
19:18Rangers are unbeaten in the last 23 league games
19:22when they've scored first
19:23at Celtic Park
19:26and they've won the last six
19:28Tavernier
19:42here's Oliver Antman
19:43move that he saw
19:45his inclusion
19:46coming
19:51booted away by Tierney
19:55I've got to say Connor Barron's had a really good start to the game for Rangers
20:00wondered how much dead
20:02this Nico Raskin
20:26we might see this a bit today as it stands
20:29Rangers back within a point
20:30of Celtic
20:32but Hearts
20:33still with that four point advantage
20:35and home to Falkirk
20:37on Wednesday
20:40safe to say
20:41there's a long way to go in this one yet
20:45Tavernier looking for Chimiti though
20:48and Chimiti's in
20:49and now it's Mikey Moore again
20:52and now
20:53the free kick
20:54was given
20:55the handball I think
20:59yeah that's a
21:00a long ball from Tavernier
21:03and there is a
21:03little hand there from Chimiti
21:06but he seems to be worrying
21:07worrying the life out of Austin Trustee
21:09brilliant
21:10last ditch defending
21:12there's the hand in there
21:15from Liam Scales
21:32calm down is the message from Martin O'Neill
21:34good luck with that
21:46team and a
21:48decent pass now
21:49for Chimiti
21:50he's
21:51sent that one sailing towards Tavernier
21:54Rangers advancing again
21:56Tierney blocks the cross though
21:59comes back to Tavernier
22:03Trusty is there to clear it
22:11he's got to go and try and pick that ball up
22:13but Rangers since the goal
22:15popping it around Celtic
22:17the team with the tails up
22:19playing with confidence
22:26team scoring first
22:28has only lost six of the last 111 league
22:31derbies
22:32but it happened here at New Year
22:34Chimiti
22:35is frightening
22:36Celtic again
22:39handman
22:41Austin Trustee unnerved by the
22:45presence of Chimiti
22:48Tavernier
22:50and the corner
22:52Austin Trustee
22:53is getting bullied
22:55Chimiti is destroying him
22:58and Celtic have a corner
23:00to defend
23:01we know how dangerous Rangers have been this season
23:04from corners
23:06Fernandes has gone forward
23:13Tor Romans will be the man to take it
23:15Emmanuel Fernandes
23:16an obvious threat
23:18in these situations
23:19Anjamiti
23:23Chica in there too
23:32it is Romans to float it in
23:34Fernandes
23:36headed it wide
23:38as the whistle went anyway
23:39Nick Walsh gave a free kick there
23:41but
23:43he's like a magnet isn't he
23:45in both boxes
23:51Jan
23:54done really well
23:55Jan
23:55Torizan Maida
23:57brushes off
23:58Fernandes
23:59touch it wide
24:01and he would have counted
24:02good strength from
24:04Torizan Maida
24:05but
24:05he just isn't a finisher
24:07it's brilliant from
24:09Yang directness
24:10and then
24:10Maida uses his strength
24:12uses his body brilliantly
24:13that's a golden opportunity
24:16opens his body up
24:17to try and slide it
24:18into the far corner
24:19but
24:21that's a
24:22hopeless finish
24:26well
24:27Maida
24:27has scored
24:28four goals
24:29in the last three games
24:30but that was after going
24:3117 matches
24:33without one
24:37Sanders
24:38sending that one
24:39across his own box
24:42which might invite
24:43pressure
24:51Engels
24:54away by Chiga
24:57that's a foul by Diamande
24:59that
24:59you can see coming on Engels
25:03Yang
25:04he must come off
25:05Yang
25:05it's a Rangers throw
25:06as Tavernier
25:07moved in
25:36trusty
25:38Underneath that.
25:44Tavernier, straight in.
25:46McGregor, Negrit, McCowan, just couldn't keep the wall.
25:51Got back well, Robbins.
26:12A bright start for Rangers after they lost back-to-back league matches for the first time, remarkably, since 2018
26:19under Graham Murti.
26:29I think Jim Mitdy against Drussey must have won every duel, every header.
26:47And Jim Mitdy will discern the yellow card for that lunge from Engles.
26:56That's a poor touch from Yang.
26:58And Engles is in and Jim Mitdy is late.
27:14There is Engles.
27:18Salted look for a route back into the derby.
27:25He's dropping off the ball there.
27:28Diomendo, he's gone down.
27:29He's gone down then.
27:33He's gone down then.
27:34Engles is...
27:35...pleaving his innocence there to...
27:38Walsh.
27:44Engles runs into him, doesn't he?
27:53Thank you, Moor has had the fewest touches but the most important one in the opening 20 minutes at Celtic
27:59Park
28:08Johnston takes that away from Moor
28:14Just to see him unaware of Roman's charging in there
28:21Luke McCown giving away a free kick unnecessarily from Celtic's point of view
28:26Chukwani just using his strength and easing him out
28:46Ant-Man, Tavernier is ahead of him at the moment
28:48Chukwani
28:51Yang
28:54Negrin
28:54Picks it up
28:58Yang
28:59Ingles
29:00It's Addison Johnston
29:04McCown
29:05Trying to give it back to Johnston
29:07He has a second chance
29:09McGregor
29:13Tierney
29:14And then Negrin
29:15Pets it wide
29:18Negrin did well initially
29:20Wriggled through a few Rangers defenders
29:21Then it came out right
29:23To McGregor
29:24To Tierney
29:26And just not the pace on the cross
29:28It's really difficult
29:31Level with the near post
29:32Trying to
29:33Score from
29:34That range with that little pace on the ball
29:36Very difficult
29:43Popped back by Scales
29:47Tavenier
29:51Yang
29:52McGregor
29:57Started moving it around now
30:02McCown
30:05That's a pass for
30:07In goals
30:09And there is Yang
30:12To make his mark on Davinier
30:15Again
30:15And that
30:16Is the response
30:18That was required
30:20By
30:21The defending champions
30:23That's why Luke McCown
30:24Was picked
30:25To play on that right outside
30:27What a pass it is
30:32Absolutely outstanding
30:33Reverse is it
30:34Chukwani dropped his runner
30:37Engels feeds it back
30:38And Yang just has to concentrate
30:40On the connection
30:40But that pass is sensational
30:42And the pullback
30:45And the finish
30:46As tidy
30:47As they come
30:49Bang from Yang
30:51And Celtic are level
30:56Not happy about something that
31:00There is a VAR check going on
31:02There is a VAR check going on
31:10Possible offside check
31:14John Beaton is on VAR duty today
31:17And having a look at it all now
31:22That's not offside
31:24Is it a player blocking the line of vision
31:27For Jack Butland
31:33I think that would be really harsh
31:35I mean he's not saving that
31:38The check is complete
31:40The goal stands
31:41Celtic are level
31:44And we have
31:48A proper derby on our hands
31:51They are now locked together
31:54They are now locked together
31:59And who scored in the new year old firm here
32:03Does it again
32:04In emphatic fashion
32:09James Tavernier still arguing with Nick Walsh
32:12About the award of the goal
32:17As he stands again
32:21Rangers up to 70
32:22Celtic up to 74
32:26Tony Rural speaking to Matthew McDermott
32:29The fourth official
32:31About that
32:37Mood changing moment
32:39At Celtic Park
32:47And Negrin on to this
32:49But now Fernandes
32:52He used his strength well
32:54Didn't he Fernandes
32:55Surrounded I think
32:56Three or four Celtic players
32:57Around him
33:02And McGregor wipes out
33:03Conor Barron
33:22First of that
33:23Engels
33:25Another exquisite pass
33:27In this match
33:28He was on the receiving end
33:30Of the last one
33:36Diamandes now
33:38Chiquani
33:42Diamandes
33:44Over towards Antman
33:50Just beating the Celtic presser
33:52Diamandes that
33:55Finding a bit of space in there
33:57Antman
33:58A quiet start
33:59Doesn't he
34:10Tennis throw
34:24Roman sees off
34:26Macau
34:26It's got Mikey Moore with him
34:30It is Moore
34:32Oh it's come off scales
34:34And loops away for a corner
34:36There's actually
34:37Paul from Alistair Johnson
34:39Got caught ahead of the ball
34:41Thought that Luke McCann
34:42Was going to send him
34:43On the attack
34:43And
34:45Liam scales
34:46Gets
34:47Away with one there
34:48This is the Yang goal
34:51And Jack Butland
34:52Saying his line of vision
34:54Was blocked
34:55But I mean
34:56He's
34:57He's not saving that
35:03Yang
35:04He's into double figures
35:05This season
35:13Fernandes
35:16He's scored four of his
35:19Premiership goals
35:21From corners
35:23Romans
35:24Right in there
35:25Tierney met it
35:26McGregor away
35:29Mikey Moore
35:30Caught in possession
35:32And Rangers horribly exposed here
35:35Yang to the left
35:36Two to the right
35:37For Negrin
35:38He slips it through
35:40Here for Macau
35:40And that is some
35:42Recovery
35:44Outstanding
35:45Defending
35:46Really was
35:47Celtic
35:49Four on two
35:50What an opportunity
35:51Fernandes
35:54It's back
36:01Demand
36:10I'm trying to get that
36:11Inside on his left foot
36:14Having a shot off
36:15But
36:16Celtic should have
36:17Made more of that
36:23Romans
36:25Mikey Moore
36:26Showing interest
36:26In this
36:27But it does carry
36:28To Senesalo
36:31He's causing Celtic
36:34A fair few problems
36:35Mikey Moore
36:39Here we go
36:40At the other end
36:42Tierney and Yang
36:50Yang gives it to Tierney
36:53Now McGregor
36:58Austin trusting
37:01Johnson
37:11Scales
37:14Yang
37:15Floats it in
37:16Romans away
37:18Back by
37:19McCowan
37:19And that will
37:22Trick or three
37:23In a button
37:25Wasn't the worst
37:26Ball in
37:26Romans
37:27Positioned himself
37:28Well
37:28Far post
37:29For Rangers
37:39And there we are
37:40Celtic
37:41Pushing Rangers
37:42Back now
37:43And Rangers
37:43Trying to play
37:44Through that Celtic
37:45Press
37:45They do it well
37:46On that occasion
37:52Chiquani for
37:52Romans
38:04Taken down
38:05By Fernandez
38:12They don't have
38:13That physicality
38:14Up top
38:14Do they
38:15Really
38:15Anywhere
38:15Along the front
38:16Line
38:18McCowan
38:18And Maeda
38:19Not
38:19Not the biggest
38:20Of
38:48Let's
38:54we did have our what seems customary early goal a goal in the first 10 minutes again
38:59in the old firm for Danny Rural's Rangers from Mikey Moore
39:05but Yang has since leveled it and who knows which way it will swing now
39:10McGregor sending Yang on his way or trying to but Tavernier there first
39:16dropped at the right time there James Tavernier
39:22Robbins
39:27more
39:34Taekwani into Barron
39:37Callum McGregor takes over Barron comes back for another nibble
39:42now the free kick will be given
39:44I think Conor Barron saying give me a chance with that ball
39:47actually did well to retrieve the situation
40:02Rangers have taken more points than any other team since he arrived
40:18the Celtic have taken more points than any other team since Martin O'Neill returned for a second stint this
40:25season
40:30once again confirming it's the season you couldn't make up
40:33you know Derrick McInnes has got more points than all of them
40:43right a deep scales
40:48just trying to force that Liam scales that's that's not his game
40:52he's going to get more points than any other team
41:05that's not his game
41:08and the bola thing is that's not his game
41:21so far
41:23Chaliti chasing Tierney 2, Rangers throw.
41:29Yeah, good composure from Fernandes, surrounded by Celtic players,
41:34and then telling Chimiti, get on your bike, hit the space.
41:42There we go, Celtic going to have to defend a long throw now.
41:47James Tavernier got some great distance on these against Hartz.
41:59Tiga Fernandes and Chimiti in a small group at the moment.
42:04As Tavernier launches it, Scales got his head to it though.
42:12Chimiti picks up, trying to keep this alive.
42:19Fernandes trying to attack it, Rangers with a man down and a free kick has been given anyway.
42:23I don't think Trusty's had a particularly good 35 minutes, but that was a crucial header from him.
42:32Diorandes down there.
42:36Just a coming together, Diorandes takes a sore one.
42:5610 minutes to half-time, it's flown by as usual.
42:592.
42:593.
43:059.
43:064.

43:216.
43:286.
43:34will it be the same scenario yep looks like it for the long throw
43:42brought them a bit of joy at hearts didn't it
43:53Johnson Tavernier
43:57Alistair Johnson taking no chances putting that behind
44:00so dangerous he did the right thing
44:05one hell of a throw
44:08Mikey Moore lurking behind
44:19he just can't be threatening from corners
44:23good record of goals this season from them
44:35it's Tavernier to send it in but it's going to go out
44:41yep not his finest there James Tavernier is normally on
44:47good point with his delivery
44:55Johnson
44:58Mider
45:01terrific from Dyson Mider
45:22what next in the final meeting between these teams this season
45:39and Celtic offer something here
45:42Tierney
45:44skipped away from Ant-Man but Tavernier blocked the cross
45:47great feet from Tierney
45:48dynamic
46:00turn his cross
46:02Fernandes first to it
46:05it should be T for Diamande
46:09advantage played maybe not now though
46:12he's going to be brought back for free kick and er
46:15it's going to be
46:16a yellow card
46:17coming here for Johnson for cleaning out
46:21Mikey Moore
46:23and he's looking bemused Alistair Johnson
46:29that did look like a really strong challenge
46:32Mikey Moore back on his feet and
46:36Nick Walsh was thinking of giving it there and as the play develops
46:42Alistair Johnson flies in
46:45too many complaints with that
46:53I think Celtic will feel aggrieved because he played the advantage and
46:59I think Nick Walsh has
47:01had a pretty good first 40 odd minutes
47:06let's give it time though
47:07don't say that
47:13still six minutes to get through
47:24Kieran Tierney has had a really good season
47:27good figures for goals and assists
47:30six goals
47:32six goals, eleven assists
47:33six goals, eleven assists
47:39there's Giga
47:42straight to McGregor though but
47:44Di Mande nips in
47:47Tavernier
47:50Liam Scales should have this under control
47:59final five minutes of the first half
48:01the final five minutes of the first half
48:06Johnston
48:07Johnston
48:09Giga
48:10steered it away from Maida but McCowan onto it
48:13still going
48:15and looking here for Maida
48:18Yang keeps it in
48:20Negrin pops it back
48:22and Giga clears
48:24yes
48:25frantic defending from Rangers but Celtic could yet come back for more
48:29McGregor
48:32Yang's cross easy for Butler
48:34I think it's brilliant from McCowan
48:36the little pass to
48:38that is in Maida
48:39so so clever
48:40there's the early pass from Alistair Johnston
48:43and
48:45Giga just pops it
48:46out and
48:47McCowan's onto it
48:48that little pass there is excellent
48:50it's great defending
48:53Chimiti chasing this
48:54and up against Trusty
48:57Chimiti waiting for support
49:00Di Mande has arrived
49:03he's gone back to Chokwani
49:06Conor Barron
49:08over to Tavernier now
49:10and he's tripped by Yang
49:12and that's a useful free kick for Rangers
49:15Yang
49:16just for a moment thought he
49:18could nick that ball
49:22clever from James Tavernier
49:24just draws the foul
49:26danger danger for Celtic
49:34Tavernier will take it
49:35again with those
49:36big targets to aim for
49:38centre-halves
49:40Chiga
49:40and
49:42Fernandes
49:45Chimiti of course
49:51will this be a pivotal moment
49:52in this match?
49:53Rangers hope so
49:54as they look to
49:55retake the lead
50:07two men in the ball just in case
50:09two men in the ball just in case
50:09two men in the ball just in case
50:16here it comes
50:17from the Rangers captain
50:21and
50:22James Tavernier
50:23making the signals
50:25and Chiga
50:26pops in wide
50:29that's a chance and
50:30Chimiti was all on his own
50:32at the back post
50:35on the side there
50:36just can't direct the header down
50:39just can't direct the header down
50:49Tierney
50:49picked out
50:51Ligrant
50:52decent pass
50:53either flat footed
50:57as it stands there will be one minute
51:00added on to this
51:01first half
51:27team
51:27Scales
51:29100th league match for Celtic today
51:30and 150th game overall
51:34Tierney
51:41Scales
51:42Engels
51:48Negrin
51:49trying to give it back to Engels
51:52too many in the way for that to pay off
51:55Celtic ready to go again with scales
52:03Yang
52:06Negrin
52:11Negrin looking to
52:12get to that
52:13looking to make it happen
52:17goal kick as Yang fires it over
52:22good from Celtic good little passage of play
52:25Negrin
52:26clever little turn
52:27Rangers just do enough
52:30wonder whether Danny roll
52:32half-timer
52:32make a change with
52:34Antman on that right-hand side
52:36who's really been on the periphery
52:42finally did choose Antman ahead of Scov Olsen
52:46and Gassama but
52:48he's barely made a mark on his Rangers career so far
52:52it's very difficult when you're not played much and you're thrown in and expected to perform especially in a fixture
52:59like this
53:04Fernandes
53:05Fernandes
53:06misjudged by Trusty
53:08when he got there second time
53:21Fernandes
53:21misjudged by Trusty
53:23when he got there second time
53:27Yankee Moore chasing
53:31that was up for offside anyway
53:35go
53:49Celtic running out of time to get another glimpse of goal in this half in this tin he can
53:53whip one in here
53:54the whistle's about to go
53:58where is it
54:04it does now
54:09the PFA Scotland and Rangers young player of the year Mikey Moore
54:13came up with an early goal on the ground where he sealed Rangers win here in the New Year Derby
54:20but
54:20Yang responded for Celtic with his tenth goal of the season
54:26and it's all square
54:28it's level in the Glasgow Derby
54:30level in the old firm
54:33Celtic won
54:33Rangers won
