🔴Celtic v Rangers | Scottish Premiership Match Live

face Rangers well thanks Derek as always the scene is set two good teams a great playing surface and a vibrant atmosphere it has all the ingredients for a really exciting game and here's the starting 11 for Celtic well they're going to play with two Wingers here but I'm just a little bit worried that the center forward could become isolated therefore the Midfield players need to get forward as much as possible in this 4-33 shape and here is the lineup for Rangers well the two wide players are great in 1 V one situations and their movement is also very good but it's the Midfield three that will need to control the flow of the game Tom Lawrence well the timing was perfect ball one now what can they do from here he must finish oh good save well brilliant work to keep that one in play and space here on the flank in position well fantastic reflex action from the goalkeeper well he's frustrated of course but Brendan Rogers now knows they're making [Applause] chances and the short option preferred veering in field here speculative effort and the goalkeeper has outdone himself with that save [Applause] short Corner [Applause] favored interception to Snuff out the danger Fabio Silva here's McGregor well that's how to keep the opposition at Bay Silva and plenty of room in the wide area cutting the ball back the tackle completely mistimed and you would expect a booking under the circumstances well the referee not messing about he's cautioned him well it had to be a yellow card and he knew it was coming [Applause] Adam Ida oh beating his opponent with ease is it going to be oh it's in the opening goal in the derby and listen to what it means well here it is again he goes past his marker so easily with just a drop of the shoulder and when he gets onto it he decides to go for power it's a really emphatic finish which gives the keeper no chance so the ball rolling again with the score line standing at 1- [Applause] nil well moving the ball forward they might be in business Des very quick thinking there Adam Ida oh that's a super piece of Defending and Celtic sloppy in possession lundstrom it certainly wasn't a clean tackle and the referee has got to book him I think well the card is out and it's yellow yeah it's clumsy and it's late definitely a yellow card well Rogers isn't n happy there he just needs to calm himself down now Lawrence went in strongly to win the [Applause] ball Lawrence on the ball Des Top Class defending Adam Ida promising attack this well high and more than a bit hopeful well Brendan Rogers just can't hide his emo can he that would have put them in complete control of this game well the attack carried promis but Peto out Des well using the space really well but now can they push on they are a go down but perhaps a chance to create something from this quarter trying to deliver it accurately struggling to get it away I'll tell you what it wasn't a Million Miles Away From The Equalizer well it was a decent chance but they're still behind here they needed to take that one AA [Applause] now the attack looks promising could play it in and making the move to the inside oh excellent diving stop well I think it's fair to say he's not overly pleased is he played over took a really smart piece of Defending to stop them well they might be able to launch a Counterattack lovely work to get past his [Music] man he's got to score oh good work by The Keeper and a short Corner let's see delivered into the area here well they couldn't make anything of that cross with the ball in a decent enough position chance maybe to use the counterattacking ability to good effect [Applause] a credit to him for the challenge and a throw in conceded AA possession one well the referee has instructed the fourth official to put two minutes on the board and a good challenge to bring that attack to an end that is that for the first half here this man will get most of the plaudits for his contribution up to this point Stuart well I thought he had a really effective first half not only did he get the goal that gave them the lead but away they go again second half is underway here [Applause] superbly read and executed and a throw coming up after a really fine piece of tackling they will now make use of their substitutes bench very quick thinking there iata McGregor and that'll be offside promising pass you can't really tackle like that and expect to get away with it booking to come you would think and he does produce the yellow card yeah and it certainly deserved a yellow it's a poor challenge you have to say lrom now continues his run and a good looking ball well I suspected that might be difficult for the keeper but I was wrong AA well breaking at PACE is always a possibility and Rangers with the ball again AA well they're moving it around with real purpose here but they dealt with the threat posed now doesn't get away with it pre kick given time for a change then making progress and given away by Rangers AA and nothing comes of this attack Ridin yilmar Fabio Silva Todd catwell and the ball back with Celtic now and disappointingly not even close to hitting the target there yeah it was looking to open up his body guide into the corner but he's got it all wrong it's a poor attempt in the end well he knows that would have won the game so frustrating for him Rin yilmar Silva and given away short looking for a teammate top class defending corner kick awarded and let's see if this will help them add to their [Applause] [Applause] lead plenty of support
