Celtic Vs Rangers Go Radio

this is the Go Radio football show listen anytime wherever you get your podcasts call 0808 1717 700 let's go John and Celtic go is racing favorites but what first what do you make of the Celtic lineup this is I think what you predicted the other night I did Paul the only um the only one I I sort of wasn't quite 100% with was whether he'd play he' play James Forest on the right or play [ __ ] but he's obviously gone with [ __ ] which is absolutely know it's pretty much like for like James Forest will be on the substitutes bench and he'd be absolutely dying to get on and play a part if he does play a part he won't let anybody down so much experience and as I said he could have easily gone with Forest today he just decided to go beun so the only newcomer for Celtic starting is Casper schmeichel and well he's had some career we know it but he's never played in the old firm Darby Craig for Rangers they arrived a little while ago saw bar Ferguson there with the team as they arrived Rangers few new starts in the for an old firm game four four newbies you're right Paul you proper obvious proper Jeffy Baron and Cherney so you know that that's very very interesting I think the starting lineup is is what most people have expected uh Sterling I think it was important Lawrence is the one that stepped aside for this particular match H but Sterling in terms of going in there in the in the middle of the park I think to try and make Rangers a little bit more solid uh a little bit more competitive in there some key Jewels Paul there really is I mean my my myen Tav is always a fascinating one and my has had the the upper hand on Tav it's been so tough hasn't it for the Rangers captain many thought he'd be gone but he's not he's there and he's there and and and certainly uh you know still got a big big job to to to try and get Rangers at that level dimday and um and for me uh McGregor that that that that really is a key part of what we're gonna see today and in terms of where the the advantage is going to go how do you think he'll do diandi he's impressed yeah he has I think he's he's he looking stronger and stronger I when he come last season still looked a little bit slight but I can see the physicality starting to to improve um look we know how how good Kum McGregor is for for Celtic and how influential he is so that is a key key battle you can't afford you from a Rangers point of view to lose today it's going to be really really tough but it would be five points listen it's so early in the season but clearly Rangers looking to what what do you think's going to happen well for me the the most important part for Rangers today is to be able to try and get through the first 20 25 minutes Paul because Celtic have been electrifying out of the blocks this season they've put teams to the sword early in the first half Rangers to have any kind of chance in this match need to to manage the first 20 to 25 minutes of the match John Celtic perfect start to the league and to the cup as well fting in all cylinders matter real he's gone but um how you feeling about the team with pel Bernardo in there yeah I think he was the obvious one to come in uh for mat O'Reilly there's no doubt for me that Engles uh mowan valet trusty they will all be available to play today whether he brings one on or two on but they the Celtic fans will get to see the new signings this afternoon I think the problem Rangers have for me is that Celtic keep the ball so well you know that they're going to dominate possession it's actually Rangers nicking possession off Celtic and then keeping the ball themselves I think in the last couple of derbies that we've seen we've seen Rangers work really hard press High winning the ball back and then not being able to keep it um giving it almost back to Celtic as soon as they get possession and if you do that and and and I think as well Rangers if they want to press high and go at Celtic in the first 15 20 minutes I think that might just suit Celtic in terms of what they like on the Counterattack they play the ball into mcgreg it'll go white to MAA you cannot uh Taver today cannot face up with MAA he's got to get close he's got to try and get Nicks of the ball he cannot give him 15 20 yards of space to run at him because he'll show him a clean pair of heels mayeda is quicker um he'll cut inside and he'll cause problems kyogo wrecked record in this game is phenomenal really and [ __ ] on the right hand side we know he's got pace so that's the problem Rangers have no fans at Celtic Park no support if you like um and I find I think it's going to be a really long day for Rangers I think I come in here most weeks Paul that I'm fairly honest in these games I've said Rangers actually actually felt Rangers to win the league at times last season but today I've got to say I am all over Celtic Rangers got four new players new new s playing in this game Celtic have got experience they've got momentum they won five of these games last season out of six so I I see it been a very long day for Rangers if Celtic get an early goal you know then I think the game could be um you know they could get plenty of goals after that and Craig that's what they have done recently isn't it they have started at quite some Pace um for Rangers and looking at Celtic what do you think who you mentioned Callum McGregor there so far Rangers you did say what did they do in the first 15 20 minutes did look they need to be competitive I think what we've seen and the games have been relatively close big moments have definitely gone to Celtic they they they've known how to get the job done Paul U but I think what what's happened with Rangers in these matches is they've actually put in that much work that much effort to stop Celtic they they then haven't found that how do you then go and effect and create and and and take opportunities within the match it's been more about trying to um stop Celtic you know so Rangers it's key for them to try and not only work out how they can um you know to stop Celtic getting into that Rhythm and flow but then how can you go and cause them problems and that's going to be the test I think Chan is going to be a an interesting one Paul today because I think he's that creative kind of player that can score a goal can deliver a pass uh he he's an interesting player will he get the time and space time will tell he scored against Celtic of course um in the Europa League a few years ago listen we're only 20 minutes away from kickoff it must be some experience both of you have done it so many times great battles with each other you're in great form today you got the sausage rolls are in so you've been to McGee didn't bring anything thought have brought the cakes or the coffee well he's come to the East End for this one John hasn't he yes he's up his c on it who's going to get the bonus today is there still bonus for the players are they on so much money somebody asked that recently there'll be bonuses I think be win bonuses put in contract yeah all right quick break don't go away we've got more next this is the Go Radio football show listen any time whever you get your podcast Let's Go Radio football show Paul Kenny Craig M and John hson it's the old firm day here in Glasgow the managers have been speaking to Sky there Philip Leong a moment or two about his team which has got four debut for an old firm game they've obviously played before none of the new signings actually not many new signings came in over the the last few days Craig we talked about Todd canalo finally did go to Blackburn Rovers yeah he did and I think it was a situation where is clearly worked for all parties he didn't want to uh you know be at the club any longer so therefore it was important the club could get that business done he's now down at Blackburn so yeah it allows the you know the club and Philip clemont to move forward with his team but it's a it's a huge huge test for Philip clont because so far in his period at Rangers he hasn't had the success he would have liked especially in this particular game you know yet to to win a match yeah you you've got to have players especially um what the situation ranges are right now you know Todd cwell went publicly and said to his manager I no longer want to be I don't want to play for Rangers anymore absolutely suicide for Todd cwell in terms of out you're out on your year when you say that publicly I don't know what I don't know what to play then he says he doesn't want to be living in Glasgow anymore well what does he expect I you know so for me Craig absolutely spot on when you say that and Rangers right now they want di odds they want players who are going to battle players with a bit of quality that that he's hop that he's brought in um and he wants players now to get to get with him on this ride this new sort of um you know this this new sort of feeling that Rangers have in terms of Feelgood Factor bringing players in integrating the players going back to I Brooks very soon he wants players on board be a long time though before that really happened back at I Brook cuz that's going to be what January isn't yeah right at the beginning what's going to happen well I'll tell you who's in Cherney and he said look we know we're underdogs but we're right up for this fight today I think the mindset should be that um you want to win every single game doesn't matter what game it is and it's okay with us you you can call us I think whatever you want we just want to focus on on what we are doing here's the manager Philip Clon it's always very important and uh for the fans we know it's it's the game of the season for us also it's your biggest rival it's three important points in the league for perception also because I think because of a lot of situations or a negative perception around the club with uh with the stadium elimination for the Champions League all these things and people forget sometimes also to see what is going on well there this is an exciting project EXC in squat also now to build on it's not a finished article and I know we're going to play against a team who has a lot of experience who played long time together they will replace one player probably by a player who was there last season so he trained with them so they know everything together and we are the young exciting team who want to challenge that now but I believe we also have the quality to challenge that and to go full for the three points GRE your first over fir game at Celtic Park what was it like although in those days you had what you know 10 8,000 Rangers fans there I I prefer not to talk about my debut you know what because it wasn't one it wasn't at Celtic park it was at hamon yeah of course um it wasn't a good day for me John own goal we got beat 3-0 how do you recover from that but you know Paul you touch on so there's four new players as we as we've touched on one one for Celtic so so the experience um you know for this m you can't prepare somebody for for this particular match John you go out there and it's just it's a blur it really is um but you look at characters and you go schmeichel's going to be able to handle the situation his pedigree suggests that and you start going through you know a player like chy for me I just think that he's a good football I don't know whether sometimes you watch a left footed player they always look nice on the eye H you know he comes in he plays a really nice pass he looks as he's got good delivery I think he will do okay in this match um but again you've got three or four new ones that come in Paul they need to they need to be at their absolute best Rangers need to be as a group at their absolute best because the Celtic Squad and the Rangers Squad if they both turn up then Celtic are winning the game today John well yeah and they got four new debutant I'm the Rangers and it's one of those PA you either s go swim you know you either Embrace this game show what a quality player you are in in a really sort of hostile environment which Celtic will be today with no fans as I said before um and you've got to go and show your man you can justify the fact that you're at Rangers but it's very hard because like myself Paul I never played in a game like this and I struggled for the first three or four games against Rangers did then I made up for it of course did um but in terms of i' played in the north London Derby I'd played Arsenal Spurs I'd played West Ham and a lot of London Derbies as well but there's nothing like this one in terms of the volume of noise you know the the passion between the two sets of fans you know the need the need to be winning these games to appease the supporters because this is a game for the fans of course this is not for the players these fans on both sides they want to win these games it's desperate all right until the next three months until the next one comes around can I mention but this game is all to do with the supporters 11 minutes to go John what about Rio hatti so much has been said about Matt oeli but hatti has been pivotal in some of the games against Rangers over his two and a half years what do you think he's going to be like today and how key for Celtic well I think he have a he'll have the freedom to to go forward uh there's no doubt about that Bernardo scored in the in the game last season especially at Celtic Park he scored like a scissor kick brilliant finish McGregor I think will be a dis as disciplined as ever he'll try and get on the ball you know try and control that Center Midfield but Hitachi for me will be trying to get up and support kyogo um right through the the middle and he'll have a license to go and do that um he won't really have to defensively you know he he get try and get gos side now and again when he when he needs to but in general hitti is the one almost like a 10 getting in in and around kyogo I think that's the key thing today between the two midfields right Celtic link very well from defense through to the attack and third not so much Rangers you know and and I think that if Rangers think that they can go toet to toe today with I that could be a big down point for for rers I think that they've got to be smart I think that they've got to try and at times maybe slow the game down I don't think going Toe to Toe is going to be the answer for Rangers today will they be looking out for well they will be looking out for him but kogo is there a weakness here at the moment because of the shoulder Craig if you were playing against him the way you did against John yeah but but the the game the game nowadays obviously players are a lot more protected than John so look kyogo again is is one that has an incredible record in this particular match he he he's very quick um you know he sniffs out danger so concentration for for proper and in particular sua again is going to be key to any kind of success Rangers can get today Brandon Roger said he loves these games as I said I I feel it always like my first game because I know what it means to everyone I think that's you know I I understand the feeling I understand the journeys you know the heart of a a Celtic supporter's story is Celtic Rangers that's that's the the heart of it so I understand what it what it means and um but like I say We'll um we'll go into it we'll be ready for a tough game um it's it's the first of these games in in the season of which there'll be many and uh we're really excited by it Celtic Rangers here on the Go Radio football show we've got it on with Sky there Tom and Willie have left the studio I think Will's awaiting the match and Tom will be listening in the car you got to worry up for the traffic oh yeah but hey it's uh as you know it's 5 minutes John um looking forward to the big match that's coming after this this is the Go Radio football show listen anytime whever you get your podcast let's go there just been a handshake between Philip Tong and Celtics new 11 million pound signing who's on the bench Anders Engles and why would that be Craig because you know your stuff the belgians yeah no they were obviously angles was a slightly younger player and but Belgium but a wink would have done for me Paul right you didn't let the py py stuff before this big match John could have waed to laugh John it's quite a lot of money are you happy then with the Celtic transfer window in the last few days yes I think they've covered all areas really um you look at it they've got a new goalkeeper in schmeichel trusty big big Center back you know and head on a stick we'll go and head it um Engles record signing maaan really good play player Valley left back maybe a cover for Taylor um so I think I said you said to me Paul the other night on the show John what do they need and I said I think they the quality players you'll never know the quality until they get out there and prove it by the way you know you can play as much money as you want for a player if he doesn't push himself into the team and push whoever's in the out of the team then you never really know but for me I think they've covered all areas some of the fans are saying they could have done with another Winger um possibly but I'm very happy with the window I've got to say that's a strong Squad I think the key areas that they they looked at they they Celtic have actually filled um so again a manager or supporters they always wanted to see one more don't they of course yeah always still in pet on the tell there John your old teammate what a brilliant guy isn't he and I mean everyone behind him Legend at Celtic and Aston Villa and most teams will be playing in the Champions League which we talked about just the other day but he was uh he was some player wasn't he and his comeback John bit bit like you as well you know brilliant stand a real fighter um trained like he played every single day what an attitude he had um really powerful Runner goal scorer as well from Midfield and again Paul he's come through his personal battle he's flying now it's great to see him looking healthy on the television um great great friend of mine still and what a guy he is Greg we're seeing the shots of the Celtic fans and obviously only the Celtic fans cuz we're not going to go on about it but what a shame get this fixture back both of you both teams to get I think 5 6,000 come on we're better than that surely yeah absolutely I think uh that is definitely the way forward hopefully that's going to be in play very very soon but at the moment some of the the the shots that we're getting through obviously you seeing all the Celtic supporters they're excited for what hopefully uh is going to be a great match Paul I I sorry Paul I went on a podcast last week with Clive tilsley and Martin O'Neal and Martin was all about getting the supporters back in they couldn't believe that this has actually gone on for a number of years you know and he was like got to get the supporters back in the stadiums the way supporters I agree it's absolutely got to happen right Craig we said earlier on what you think would happen it few people expect Rangers to come out and win today and I know it's Celtic Rangers rangers Celtic and people say oh Anything Could Happen does that take some of the pressure off Rangers in that nobody really thinks that they are going to win today not many people no but again like the the this this game obviously you know what's at stake and what it means to the supporters I think is is pressure in itself especially on the on the manager who hasn't had success in this match so far and obviously to his playing group um that for me Rangers best chance of being able to get something today Paul is managing the first 20 25 minutes without conceding they will give him the best opportunity to go and get something in the match if Celtics score in that earlier period Then it could be as John said earlier on in the show a long long afternoon what's your score line what do you think it's going to be you're a Rangers Legend I get it but you're on here you know you both give honest opinions what do you think today I I think that this could and and probably my heart a little bit I hope a draw is the best result for Rangers and draw would be a good result for rers today wouldn't would be would be a good one they're in the tunnel John so your score line what do you reckon as they are LED out by the captains well I think Char will have to work really hard um if want to win the game um I think I think the the big money is on Celtic in terms of being favorites but you know talking about the Rangers players some Rangers fans you have to believe you're going to win the game from a Rangers point of view them new players have to turn up and think I'm not bothered about McGregor I couldn't care less about HTI or kyogo what his recent record is like I'm going to be better than him today I'm going to make sure I'm going to win for my team no irrespective of whether that happens Paul that's the mindset you have to have gone into any game celic if they get playing and they keep the ball uh most of the time I think they will have they will dominate possession and then obviously with the players they have the pace they have out wide uh in myia and [ __ ] and they have a fantastic goal scorer so I can see Celtic I think they're stronger on the pitch I think they are better players and Rangers right now and I can't see Celtic losing this game just sorry Paul just just really really quickly a simple way to to to summarize this game and your personal battles if if you can win your personal battle look to your left look to your right and they're winning theirs and you start getting more people winning their personal battles you're going to win the game Gary's producing here today so he's keeping us up to date with all the things happening off it um we can see this is going to the world and let's hope we get a great game today we'd love the Rangers fans to be in um the green Brigade often they have to move away from what they say but today it says our dear green place the patron scent of Glasgow there [ __ ] so let's hope this is a great advert for Glasgow today as we get ready for the Derby the Glasgow Derby the old firm Derby sky are just playing the music Craig so you can feel free to I can't hear a great Anem Rogers and Hammerstein uh yeah it's uh showing you round this is we get tired of listening to this PO you love it you never get it when you're playing in it as well you're lining up you can't help but look around and see all the flag it's the same ey Brook as well they create an unbelievable atmosphere before games but this is one this is something that goes all over the world Paul all the SAG fans in pubs and clubs whatever they are now Amazing by the way 10:30 p.m. in Australia as well of course they'll be yeah over there PS he he that's right the the supporters will be watching the Celtic fans as well right around the world so Celtic in the Huddle Rangers at this point what are you thinking Craig you're just trying to put put forget the noise me as a Defender I'm thinking first Contact doesn't matter if it's a ball or player yeah 10 after minutes referee today of course John Beaton let's hope we're not saying too much about that the linesman Daniel McFarland and Jonathan Bell onar Andrew Dallas assisted by Graham Stewart and John the games underway who got the kickoff yeah s SEL got the kickoff um Carter Vick is there just clearing Rangers trying to get on the front foot playing it Forward yep so it's going to be some afternoon of football as Rangers get the first free kick about what 35 yards out Craig so yeah D Monday bit of a short tug there I think it was a foul first free kick of the match coming into 30 seconds chair and he looks as if he's on the ball so we probably look at a a stock standard delivery into the box and see if he can test the Celtic defense yep churny over the ball alongside James tavener got the hand over the mouth as they do these days I don't know too many lip readers anyway I don't know it's the this is what you want early for Rangers to put the ball right in the Into the Heart of the Celtic defense yeah ear chance for Rangers left footed swept into the box it's a good ball good chance there just over it's gone out for a throw in Craig that was an opportunity for proper yeah I'm not sure whether if it is proper but great ball in for Cherney yeah head headed ball straight across um but first first first put back in danger area he's got fre Eda and uh he heads it over the ball and he should be heading it right across the Celtic six yard box if you like but that's a that's an early chance for Rangers and that's exactly what Philip Clon would be looking for brandan Rogers it's the opposite John he's looking for Celtic to get the Press immediately which they've done in every all three games so far four if you include the cup game absolutely and so as I said Celtic they known for passing the ball they've got great passes in middle of the park you know good players that can manipulate the ball really really well but in the first minute churny whips in the ball with the head I should have done better John do you want a cup of tea Craig do you want anything cup of tea would that be okay Builder's tea for John a little bit of milk what about you Craig no you're okay you're on here comes Celtic it's hatti but it's actually intercepted by tavanir Rangers started well two minutes gone Celtic nil Rangers nil the ball's played forward it's going to go for a goal kick Casper schichel getting his first real touch there John I mean the thing is he's actually hardly had to make a save since he came and he's only lost one goal which was in the cup Hibbs hasn't lost a goal in the league 94 none against match day four in the William Hill Premiership yeah but you know that's when goalkeepers have to concentrate because they're not in the game an awful lot when selic and Rangers cuz they keep possession so well Paul but every now and again they'll be caught on the counter and that's when the goalkeeper got to be fully concentrated Aberdine got that late late goal the 97th minute Kevin NIS what a what I mean you felt for Ross County they missed a penalty or rather me off had a great save Mother another win for the well against St Johnson 2-1 and dunde and St Marin 2-2 dunde lost their Captain look Mount he's on the bench for Celtic as Celtic now try to come forward and John there's going to be referee there a challenge there Baron it's a strong challenge but nothing that you wouldn't expect in in a in a in a derby good good tackle from Baron he wins the ball kyogo goes over and um you know for me that's a that's a really good tackle John uh the referee um has been sucked in there and he's give a free kick to Celtic but Baron good tackle won the ball Craig Rangers have started started off very well yeah they've asked Celtic a few questions a straight pass out for a throw in from Carter vickas uh we now just seen the first real opportunity or possession for Celtic as they're driving into Rangers half K McGregor but he was tackled there wasn't he who's on him today Greg is it as you mentioned probably going to be Sterling well I think it's actually going to be DM because I think is a little bit further forward Paul y as Celtic come forward play the ball through to hatti shoots from 30 yards out but John that was well very ambitious 30 yard old he was almost leaning backwards I don't know why then he do have to go back white to K but obviously he fancied it and there's wide of uh but's goal but as I said he's 30 yards out it's uh you know um it was very very optimistic you're very diplomatic John I like it almost uh like like a politician there you know it's very ambitious that means no chance with that one nil nil 4 minutes 20 seconds gone we watching on Sky would here in the Go Radio football Studios John harson and Craig M best in the business so yeah just looking you're just saying you're winking at me and smiling when you're saying know I didn't I didn't wink I just looked at you that was as Rangers now trying to build something down the right James Tav what lot of space there in the middle of the park huge amount of space the ball played out to the right chance for Rangers down the rate Sterling in possession but again Rangers got out quite easily Celtic did try to press Taver just dinks the ball into Midfield and Sterling find him himself in in a lot of space cor not a corner throw in deep into Celtics half Sterling's a unit isn't he he's a competitor as well Paul you know he's he's very very honest and I think he gives you that physicality John five minutes gone so not not much on it so far but Rangers have looked um yeah they've looked Brave Paul they've got on the ball both teams have had a little bit of possession I see Rangers probably a little bit more but there's not been any real action other other than the uh the proper prop of the player not quite getting the proper header on the board but I knew I knew I'd get that one out today balls played back to Casper schmeichel he plays out to oh cter Vickers Bernardo just slipped there so it's Rangers again with the ball out to tavir Tav oh forward chance for Des Des good chance for Des he looked a bit offside but I tell you what he looks offside offside I think was the call P H Taver Nicks the ball drives des's gets on shoulders but he was offside after a slip in the the buildup for Celtic but Des has had that chance even though doesn't know he's offside and it's close skills comes across and just gets a little touch there and he deflects it into schmeichel's arms but um offside anyway irrespective of what happened there cuz it looked like a real chance yeah it's offside but he didn't know ITN John being a striker s yes it was offside but see you you don't know at that time you still want to you still want to finish that of course you do absolutely if you don't know you're offside for you then that's a chance you know that's a big chance for you but then comes inside doesn't he come comes inside gets a shot off but but no real real power on the shot I thought scales come across where and even even if he doesn't quite get a big touch you know I think that's sees him in his ey line maybe skilled Go Radio football show Paul John harson and Craig M 6 minutes 55 seconds gone in the derby Rangers coming forward again down the right is Cherney Cherney who's looked good early on played it to tavir it's as if they've said they've heard all the noise and Rangers are coming here with a real purpose and they're they're going to Celtic at the moment yeah they are going you know John would mentioned that you know Rangers will probably try and press Celtic and they're so far in the first 7even eight minutes Rangers have managed to do that quite well and had quite a bit of Joy but as we're speaking transition MAA now driving at Sut it's so D MAA edge of the Box Rangers got people back in numbers he's Gotti next him sorry Paul got started yet but this is Taylor on the left hand side oh I think [ __ ] there Coon's got to get himself in an area when he gets across the ranges Center back and he's got a TA in then [ __ ] can't stay wide when Taylor's on the other side putting the ball in the box that's the concern Celtic haven't really had anything the first real meaningful attack it's a great ball I've got to say uh hear what you're saying John about uh [ __ ] but I think if you'll see the replay again if May the bust his gut to get in he's got a six-yard tap in yeah yeah is that Jeffy who cleared it remember aard aard was brilliant at that when the ball was the other side of would be inside the opposition's full back and make sure that he was you know he was anticipating being inside uh ready for the cross John he broke Barry's heart and Barry was on with us with you and he scored twice remember uh in in the February on Barry's birthday Craig but there's no scoring at the moment Rangers have started well you saw the threat of Celtic there a moment or two a big threat like I says Taylor gets in I've just seen the replay here gets an overlap oh and I tell that's what I'm saying May If he if he if he if he busts a gut he gets a eight y tap in uh and again that was a first meaningful attack for Celtic but it should have ended up in a goal and that that's my concern in terms of Rangers start well but Celtic are so dangerous on the counter the glasow Derby yesterday the other one finished 3-0 to the home side Patrick thisle three queens park now John you would take that one today wouldn't you oh of course you would yeah sure Craig would as well C Craig will take Craig will take a draw actually yeah well yeah I definitely I definitely would today you need to win though you Aberdine left at late late in the derby up there so the away team got a one0 victory 97th minute yeah you go for that one wouldn't you and that was NIS debut then yes I think so how many times do you see that as well Strikers or or new players going to to a club and and managed to get on the the score sheet I don't think Rangers fans would be delighted with Scott right that's exactly a winner 90 plus six as well I think against ball into the B straight chance for Rangers the ball past the post Craig as a Mondo's got a score he's got to score he he gets in a really good position oh he might even actually be offside as well just comes inside Johnston I think gets a header off Target you got to be hitting the target as a minimum John oh it's a brilliant chance brilliant chance from atondo he's in he gets in between two Defenders uh brilliant ball in from Taver and he's got score here comestic on the break McGregor plays it through what's a ball through to Bernardo who's got with him kog kogo must be go Celtic might be offside is it offside or it was very close but if not perfect the gain Rangers just picked Off K McGregor drives ball him behind and we're we're looking at John saying he's got to play it earlier [ __ ] takes an extra touch gets it across kiyoga does what kiyoga does gamb in the game po one little chance there from Taylor across the Box haven't been in the game 10 minutes best attack best counterattacking team in the country they break brilliant from McGregor he might be offside he's close very close let's see no he's on side with the Finish kyogo is definitely on side yeah yeah for the finish I was thinking start of the move isn't it yeah y Craig is praying so to that's a brilliant ball from [ __ ] isn't it really well weighted ball it's just a case of whether Coon's offside when McGregor puts him through or he might have timed his run to Perfection okay got brilliant finish with his left foot allows it to come past his body and Taps it in just one just still looking is it offside a v the look at it Craig just checking yeah listen I'm not it doesn't it doesn't seem to to be but you're right there John again it's good play from Celtic but it's it's far too easy you when you defend that high the space um needs to be protected a lot better have the refere I think it might be [ __ ] if the offside call is it's on certainly not kyogo for the finish so John Beaton is trying to hear there's such a a den as you can imagine 60,000 he's going to look at the VAR which what's he saying off he's not even looking at the VAR it's offside let's see it again they've drawn the line so yep is it the ball from McGregor oh it's a tight one but you can see the lines have been put up so black and white there uh yeah he just he just sort of edged offside correct decision I got a chance be a lman Paul yeah I tell you what have you played this game I was like that as well please please please John thought you were just on a Prayer there it's such fine margins is it so it's nil nil score strike that one off um but you see the way Celtic the counter press is phenomenal isn't it the way they attack John that's a warning for Rangers they can't throw too many people forward otherwise they just simply can't get back especially with Celtic's Pace my and you saw the way they scored there if he [ __ ] just times his run if he doesn't go too early you know it would have gone down as a brilliant goal and that's what we're talking about Paul see that that that transition and and my concern going Toe to Toe which means your Defenders are playing nice and high but Celtic have got the edge in terms of that pace factor and transition there was a perfect example executed slightly better uh than Rangers are chasing their tail kyogo ball forward shouldn't really be offside there because he's looking he's looking across the pitch how can he be no because he's looking a lot along the defensive line if you like the back line he's clever enough and quick enough the time has run better than that he doesn't have to Edge offs side pole cuz he's looking right the way across that where James Forest would have used the head well possibly would with his experience mun because of his Pace he's quicker you know he's he's quicker than Jeff T anyway so he doesn't have to be offside and Jeff also John Jeff is square but facing the other way so he's really got a lot of opportunity to get in there without being off should be not when you look across the whole line know Rangers now Rangers trying to play out from the back Jack butland there who of course came just over a year ago to Rangers much loved by the Rangers fans and much respected right across the country should have had caps for England in the summer but he wasn't chosen for the Euros as Rangers now trying to build something Taver just playing it trying to take the sting out it's actually been a great first 14 minutes hasn't it and it's it's actually has been a good game it's been it's been nice and competitive there have been a few tackles and challenges in the middle of the park which you'd expect but nothing nothing crazy uh and both teams have had opportunities within the match Celtic uh with a disallowed goal for for offside yep in uh 13 11 minutes kyogo who did it so many times last season John as you will remember not least this game last year at I Brooks when he shot the 52,000 Rangers fans 60,000 Celtic fans here today um is it in the sunshine yeah no it's not perfect day for football though isn't it John games like this brilliant there's a little bit of zip to the to the play a little bit of De on top of the grass so Craig a Rangers now just has slowed down yes at 15 minutes in they're just knocking the ball about at the back we're watching out in sky here on the Go Radio football show as Rangers now try to come forward that long ball that they favor but it's headed down cavers to scales scales plays it forward to McGregor McGregor does well played it too far and may have been tripped as well free kick t on on McGregor nothing nothing Sinister he got there as quick as he could beat solo foul that's taken quickly you never say that to the r ah brilliant I love the old one about Keepers he goes down in installments you hoping butland nor schmeichel do you talking about butland about the englands I tell you what pigford's form's been bang average I know have three goals again away forever two up as well you felt for sea D unbelievable if that's possible yeah no I think he did no I I do feel for him as uh Celtic coming forward now down the right long ball play into the box go for Celtic May yep Celtic have scored this is definitely not offside no definitely not John that came out of nothing nothing but that's what celic do you P you think you're on top you think you're creating chances and then bang Cel hit you like a ton of bricks by the way I've seen this pattern of play this we'll see the build up again in terms of down the right hand side forward run that's not matched it's a great forward one run for Celtic by line cross I think proper proper slips here as well yeah he slips MAA in a in the position he's inside that second post and and a good finish to put Celtic One n up but again the forward run from Al is Alis Johnston was not matched and that was for Rangers and Bernardo with a perfectly weighted pass um and Johnson actually sticks with it cuz you think it's maybe going out to play and he gets in a really difficult cross plays it back outside the six-yard area and MAA again arriving onto the ball makes no mistake and now puts celic one nil up man has scored in the World Cup for Japan almost two years ago scores again in the derby which he did last season that's what I'm talking about my being inside the back there what could should learn from the other side Maya is fantastic at that cuz you can't do nothing if you stay if you stay out wide you got to try and affect the game and get inside that fall back which may is brilliant that well the Wingers now John that is really key the when the ball's on the opposite side they're not a Winger they're a second Striker that's right yeah yeah you got to come in inside that fullback you can't take your eyes your ear off this one 16 minutes exactly MAA the cross from Bernardo there was a slip for proper and uh there was the Japanese International to put the ball past Jack butland and Celtic come forward again trying to get goal number two Rangers came close early on as well deser had a terrific chance although he was just offside up over the halfway line referee John Beaton says play on As Cherney Celtic got good numbers back and look back was actually a foul on Dandy there as well but John Beaton did the right thing Rangers were in possession he let the advantage go unfortunately joh you like him yeah he's playing in a bit of a forward more forward area today looking to get closer to desas see his position where he is no Craig he's not too deep bu he no he again he's his jewel is is is McGregor isn't it really trying to you know stop him H but again it's it's when the ball breaks down in terms of what happens first yellow card of the match Jeffy Jeffy yeah I've got he said it's the third time it was just a push there wasn't it it it wasn't so much for the contact I think it was more that [ __ ] was then away into a dangerous position forel into the space yellow card which 18 minutes into an old fir match for a Defender John well exactly in Europe I mean it did cost them I know you thought it was a bit nice they should have taken them off with that tackle 15 years ago you get away with you got no chance of getting the yellow card I think he said John this three times maybe in today's game that's persistent fing that's what he's given that for today that yellow card but listen the way the game's gone in the modern day you can't make tackles like that cuz you're in the book Jeffy should know that sure let's hope we get 11 against 11 don't like no no I'm just thinking the go the goal as well like say Celtic brilliant combination played down there right hand side proper slips sua kind of doesn't really react and then also Taver they're all expecting the one in front of them to be able to deal with it in the end May either takes up a good position uh and and Celtic were ruthless John Celtic early on you know not brilliant at the back they weren't getting much but as soon as it went into the Midfield the way they break so quickly and so effectively they coun attack Paul I tell you who's done well today for me is Bernardo he plays that ball into Al Johnson and he's he wins a lot of tackles you know he gets he gets go side and he can play you know he can pick the right passes out he's a good size he's physical but saltic were almost trying to ease themselves in the game Rangers started better um but as Craig mentioned earlier on if whoever gets that first qu it gives you that little bit of confidence to your players everybody now wants to get in all involved all the s players want to touch of the ball because they won a la and they're all they're all confident now no stranger to Yellow Card in the old FM game it's Alis Johnson off the ball there with matondo yeah I think it was a a bit of a a body check or what's happening but also diamond for Rangers I believe and maybe is Alex Ray being booked from the bench as well not sure yeah yep I think it's all happening the last couple of minutes but yeah definitely uh we know that the Johnson did pick up a yellow card for um for a body check I think DM also you sure yeah we think no I'm sorry just when I saw the cameras there Onex Alex Ray yeah um 1- nil Celtic 21 minutes gone as Celtic now come forward kyogo is beaten there by Sutter ball through to ma ma doesn't give up though it goes for a corner kick that's not a penalty Celtic peny T does manage to get back in well again he gets the ball clearly T kicks it out for the for the corner he just watchs the direction of the ball here there yeah sure yeah yep tavanir and MAA gu poor poor clearance from that starts from a poor clearance from Sut and and Celtic are then bang straight in behind uh fromers point of view and they've got to be they've got to be better when they're passion out from the back cuz Celtic they close you down so well with Pace cig so they got they got to handle that do the game better see the as the corners coming in for Bernardo right footed into the sixy line headed away Greg yeah the problem is I think like I say Rangers when you go Toe to Toe so they're they're a lot further forward but it just leaves a lot of grass a lot of space for for Celtic to exploit in behind and they're already showing real signs of of doing that I know that you don't like to see your team sit deep but I think that you protect that space a lot better and I don't think Su and proper are quick enough to deal with it here comes Celtic again McGregor tries to play it in wins a corner another Corner similar to where the goal come from McGregor's made a run down that right hand side he's almost on rangers' goal line tries to cut it back this time Rangers defend it and it's another Corner Midway through the first half exactly it's one0 Celtic is that Mondo's gone down so I think this might be the end for him holding his hamstring yeah which is not a great sign he was obviously a lot of transfer speculation yeah that's right pre pre- window stuff yeah he stayed so we seeing now looks like Lawrence has getting himself warmed up and may be called into action a lot earlier than anticipated for a Welshman absolutely oh well done yeah Lawrence might have expected to start today John well possibly but he he went with a demand doy Baron and Sterling at this moment in time does does Lawrence get in there before you does he get in that side I think because they've gone like more a flat three in their Midfield today so when they play a clear 10 Lawrence it's Mand yep the northern Island International is coming on I thought it might be him yeah for that role given will swap where matondo was and Mos done coming over playing the right hand side where he normally plays makos he normally does yeah yeah so maybe he might just go over to the to the right and swap withney on the other side con kick taking quickly Bernardo involved there plays it in to K McGregor McGregor to Rio hatti 35 40 yards out now going back towards the halfway line to try and uh build again Celtic coming down the right Bernardo playing it for Nicholas Kon but he's got Conor Baron there the former abine man but he loses Conor Baron loses out here's k k left footed looks up who's he got he's got my header there but it's straight into the arms of Jack butland 24 minutes gone it's uh 1- nil Celtic you can't take your eyes or ears off this game mat's back up John John what you thinking there yeah well obviously he's holding his hamstring he's clearly had a little um a little jog there and feels U okay to carry on but um I thought Rangers started the game well pa they look very bright but Craig I don't know about you in the last in the last six or seven minutes C like have just taken over in terms of possession and and and experience John you just feel as if right now the the experience the the playing the the game and you know something that they have done well before again I'm kind of fuming a little bit with the first goal because the pattern of play that do over and over and over again and you watch previous goals against against Rangers that pattern has as caught Rangers out I don't know how many times and I'm thinking surely you can't keep repeating the same mistakes yeah well it's it's Phil clont isn't it he watches the game he watch them over and he looks at Celtic shape when he he he says how can we affect that how can we stop Celtic and then you all of a sudden from a Rangers point of view you have to tell your players or put your players out out there in terms of a shape you know and to just to stop that surely that's got be the manager's job hasn't it here come Rangers down the right balls play through won a corner so chance for Rangers to level good play by Liam scales who knows he's got trusty the former Sheffield United defender on the bench Celtic we've got all the newom the problem with doing that then though Craig you know um Philip clont is thinking of just stopping celic rather than having Rangers doing what they want to do to affect games yeah yeah you can't just go into a g to stop the opposition you've got to a threat yourself absolutely conif for Rangers that Cherney who's there des's up there he's got aliser Johnson on him so to matondo maida's back there H Casper schichel just on his toes just when he's going to be left footed Far Side at the Rangers in plays it in it's headed away good head by wasn't it did well yeah I guess when you know there's somebody there who's looking for your jersey you keeps you on your toes you're always keping your toes as c a few a few supporters have has been a little bit wrangled with with skills um I think he's done very well Liam skills since he's come in Still Still fairly young still fairly inexperienced but I think he's done well done himself a lot of credit Here Comes Celtic forward down the left good chance great play I was waiting for contact there but look Rangers are slow there it's Fallen now for hatti hatti looks up looking for options he's got kyogo there place it back to McGregor McGregor to Bernardo Bernardo who's he got on the left Greg Taylor he's right footed looking up place it to R hatti hatti good ball through to Taylor for the by line going to win a corner John Celtic pressure yeah more pressure from Celtic they're just popping it around on the edge of the Box just waiting for a third man Runner um and they've got in on the left hand side churny actually does well to to cover and get back and defend out for another Corner Bernardo on the left hand side 27 minutes Gone Car Vickers is up there the former Tottenham man the US inter ational huge favorite with the Celtic fans he was injured a bit last season but he's back and uh could play a huge role here today it's going to be right footed taken poo Bernardo plays into the box headed away I think John Sutter down to chery goes out of play it's going to be a throwing Craig so 25 yards out John John touched on third man runs that's what led to the goal that's what led to the corner there for Celtic Celtic are very good at making forward runs and at the moment Rangers aren't defending that properly and that's causing them real problems and giving Celtic control in this match Craig M and John harson here on the Go Radio football show as the balls played back Willam skills did well there didn't he place it to CCV CCV we've got Andrew Engles the 11 million pound signing on the bench so to Luke Mac Boyhood Celtic fan didn't realize that very good player good isn't he very good done a great job at dundy dundy did well to equalize and get a draw yesterday because he's he was their Captain as Celtic now come forward kyogo he's got space plays it out to the right to Nicholas Kon Kon looking up who's with them uh Jeff is there can tries to slide it through but doesn't manage it's uh comes though to Alistar Johnson Johnson playing back the way back to goal plays it to Carter Vickers Carter Vickers back to alist Johnson this is too easy at the moment for Celtic Rangers uh too much space H too much space they're 5 10 m off it as the ball comes the Box looking for Kyo go for a corner but at the start of that whole passage kyogo comes drops in a deep area he gets on the half turn Rangers Central Defenders are 10 m behind they're that far off it and then that just went on that whole passage of play where every single Rangers player was 5 10 meters off it Celtic with another corner it's going to be taken Again by Paulo Bernardo huge season for him mat left for what 25 million last week it's not a direct replacement there's Les coming in as well well who probably is but it's Bernardo right footed near post header just well no it's still in play so the header from scales I think had come forward kyogo out on the left but sloppy sloppy look at the reaction look at the reaction they they nearly get some Joy at the end I think it was MAA from the corner that maybe gets the the glancing header that goes across to the far post kyogo then got on the end of it it's not a word that you normally affiliate with kyogo slop because it's normally really really sharp but he was he had two opportunities and to keep it in keep the keep possession and he gave it away twice which is unlike kogo the blonde locks got me there you know that you can't stop L you got a bit of a ling going on today oh John what's happened you're one up I've got I've got no love when I'm watching the Rangers D his hair you know oh D his hair I to be I get the wrong one John that was what it was I thought it was scales so that was actually it was a nice way of him saying no it's actually Celtic come forward again they're one up 30 minutes gone uh it's cleared there by the Captain James Tav many people thought he was going to leave but he stayed he didn't go to Saudi as uh and he's captaining Rangers and he knows he needs to get a win or come away without u i mean a point would be a huge one for Rangers today no question there's only one goal in it though and Rangers started really well in the first 10 minutes but Celtics class is showing James tavan there down on the main stand side just what 25 yards from Jack but's goal line as uh he's looking for options place it down the right does come to the head of Liam scales as a Rangers head I think I think talking about Taver Paul I think maybe Rangers I don't know what Craig thinks but Taver yes record um not not as many trophies as you'd as you'd want as a Rangers captain maybe that's got to do with Celtic's dominance over the last 10 12 years but I think if Phil clemont could have could have seen a better right back you might you might well have seen you know that that Taver out the window but obviously they haven't found one and they've kept Taver there money has been a huge issue it's been difficult for Rangers in the window but they did make a couple of late signings as a couple of players left not least Scott Wright who scored that winner yesterday for the blues of Birmingham unbel amazing is typ seems to happen a lotes it he played a few times as we know in the old firm last I quite liked him I thought big powerful you know we used to go forward in the every opportunity just didn't do it consistently enough did he John as Rangers now come forward up over the halfway line it's Cherney he's got maida on him Cherney left footed then to the right he's looking up he's still got maida on him and he just plays it back to his Captain James Taver tavir to John Sut the former hearts and Scotland star he plays it done the right Greg Mo yeah I'm just again but you look at when Rangers are having a little spell and all sort of stuff in terms of I like Baron Baron he he's a great competitor but I still don't think he has that experience yet to be able to control a game from the middle of the park you look at the difference between him and Callum McGregor and the control and it then enables you to play those good forward passes at the moment Rangers need to try and hang in this this match H and and get to halftime without any conceding any more goals to regroup because I think that you know Celtic are in a in a bit of a rhythm now doing what they want when they want yeah John good assessment Celtic would want to go and press to get another one before for the break they certainly would because you know what 1 n even 2 N you know if the opposition get back in it but certainly I think um in an Ideal World s would love to go in at 2-0 and just give them that little bit of cushion you know going into the second half of course phip K on yet to have a win against Celtic they got the draw The Late Late goal from matondo wasn't it last season at ibrs as Celtic now trying to play it but it's a slight pass Here Comes Rangers deser 25 yards out Des plays it to matondo matondo not quick enough there and it's cleared but there's nobody down that Left Flank for pull the trigger yeah I think it's Bernardo then wasn't it and kyogo kyogo came short Bernardo think he was going to come short and then spin and go long and he ends up giving the ball away yeah there was a chance there wasn't it just a bit of a misunderstanding that's one des's edge of the Box he's probably been a little bit too honest and he's tried to play matondo in but he's 18 20 yards out on his left foot buy a ticket son as um here he comes deser then just outside the box he's got CCV with him secv wins that one it's played to Greg Taylor it's cleared to Bernardo Bernardo forward for Nicholas Kon but too much on it it's going to be a throw in for Rangers 34 minutes gone this is the Go Radio football show paulun John harson on top form as is Craig M so a good play there from Rangers because they it was good pressing and they making SEL almost just cleared it up the field because because they got so many Rangers players pressing in Celtic's penalty area they stopping seltic from playing out and that's what they have to do John you'll be looking forward to the Champions League we'll talk about it later if we have time but today it's all about this one of the greatest Derbies if not the greatest in the world although today there are no opposition fans which is always a Pity but hopefully while they're saying it'll be next year now after not not the game at Rangers in January but from later in the Year back here at Celtic Park and then the final game hopefully at I Brooks as Celtic now up over the halfway line it's Cameron Carter Vickers looking for options there are none so he plays it back across the back four to Liam scales scales the Ireland International now back to Casper schmeichel what a career he's had John yeah he has I think I just think as well Paul joart did extremely well didn't he become a real fan favorite but I just think with Casper I think he's better with his feet yep I think he gives you that little bit more of um you're comfortable when he's at his feet sometimes with your heart you thinking well you know sometimes you'd give it away and everything else as much as as well as he did I think Casper Spiker is very good with his ball at his feet Joe Hart is a guest of Celtic we've seen him already on Sky there he's in the up from match of the day yesterday he's doing well isn't he Craig so um good career a top top career and he'll I'm sure he'll follow that with a a top career maybe as a Punda uh seems to be going into the media got got hope he doesn't do too well just in case he takes over but um it's going to be a throw in Rangers down near the corner flag at the Celtic end James tavanir punts it up field but it falls for to the head of Kum McGregor he placs It Forward looking for Bernardo but a bit UND tidy play here Comes Conor Baron oh good tackle good tackle good recovery there John a Celtic now come forward up over the halfway line and kyogo he's deep he plays it outright to k k kyogo goes down just outside the box Celtics still coming forward great chance here got to be no it's good save there um a Celtic oh what a chance there absolute sitter hatti John has to score has to has to score but again that was the Second Chance first chance Falls to was it KY no it wasn't kyoga cuz he's down on the ground there I think he's been um great block by tavanir first T's just got to hit the target there he's trying to feed it into the far corner he almost trying to lift it John what a chance obviously what a chance we just spoke about satday going I think he just miss hits it Paul doesn't get his the angle of his foot like BR R his arms are in yeah he think it's number two y yeah the whole stadium thought it was number two Craig so rers dodged the bullet there po they did absolutely yellow card for steing for that tackle kyogo you almost tried to pull kyogo back in the sh sh were countering G you're on the yellow cards no you're not on a yellow card personally or producer today he's a Burnley fan he was down at the match yesterday with Blackburn Rovers 1-1 look looks like mosin's coming on here as rabby matondo he's run his race that's injury just too much pulled something too much so yeah like for like replacement what you are going to get from mccoslin is a a really honest shift he's going to work ever so hard you'll need to in front of Taver John I'm just putting him in there yeah of sure mland just changing my my team slightly yep John harson Greg m one nil Celtic should have been two there it looks easy from here doesn't it John it's uh yeah it does it does but you know what Paul know that that's a really really gift of a chance for a prayer of hati's quality and his goal scoring PO he must be seven yards out he's on a bit of an angle you have to score there he was wanted he yeah he was wanted during the window ler City we mentioned 10 million pound it's a Setter for him it's an absolute Setter League ear Club we're in I thought the first division would come in for him but um and in France but they said no and they could never going to lose both him and were they same does that affect the player do you think I'm not saying it does here he's given everything but if you I think he knows his time will come if he keeps performing at Celtic and and they're performing then there's going to be more opportunity for the player Jeffy was booked earlier so to dami just there Sterling as well and for Celtic alist Johnson as The Ball comes to the hands of Jack Butler land or the feat he's looking up um it's 1 nil that's one of the new we're seeing the new Celtics signings there that was Val from Barcelona on loan and that's what I mean he's brought in Val from Barcelona On's he play for the food other than playing in the preseason friendly I think that's right but he's not brought him in a season's laan if you ain't going to play him so probably might get the best out Taylor here's kyogo 25 yards out goes for the shots at goal kyogo two n what a finish pole he's 25 yards out and he he passes it he passes it into the goal Beyond butland it's an unbelievable finish pole it's gone right along the ground it hasn't come an in off off the off the ground and this is absolutely world class from kyogo and it's it actually starts here look Baron passes chy caught sleeping Taylor forward pass kyogo 25 yds out and and you're right JN it's not it's not blasted he just picks his spot he passes it in the far corner but again for Celtic they'll be delighted with that but that's far too easy H and Rangers will be absolutely or clemont will be absolutely fuming because that's two but that this looks as if this game could be anything now butland is slightly too far over on his right hand side but for kyogo to even see that to look up and have the vision and then it's an unbelievable pass of a football that strong groin and butland reaching for it it's inside butland left hand post it's an unbelievable fish and we spoke about celtico turn the up at halftime now they've got that cush in they can come out now and may enjoy the second half kogo loved that moment because of course Celtic paid what 8 million for another Striker Adam very different he'll play a role as well but kyogo he CED his ears his hands to his ears just um saying think I'm the number one yeah people were talking all week will it be will it be kyogo it's it's kyogo all day for me in these big games he never lets anybody down we've seen him scor Champions League goals he' scored Cup Final goals for Celtic he's a big game player and he's gone and scored a wonder goal this afternoon it's great days for Celtic fans John isn't it at the moment what four minutes to go in the first half um against Rangers it's a huge game yeah they're better they're better all around sometimes you go well yeah you know but you you look at play and at the minute in all Fister Rangers they're in a bit of a transition they're trying to rebuild they've got to get L of their lot their their big players their big owners if you like they need money in the club and they have to go again they have to go again and they've trusted clont to do that Craig will come to Rangers in a moment but here comes K making down to the line it's still k a good run from him plays it back looking for a tati but there's a clearance here by Rangers just uh three 2 and a half minutes left in the first half 2-nil Celtics the ball's played all the way back to Casper schmeichel former Man City and Leicester of course he won the cup in England the FA Cup with Brendan Rogers and I think Brendan Rogers played a big part in bringing him here Craig it's too early for you know Rangers postmortem but this today you know we've talked about the project and all it's for later it's too early but anyone can see the gulf in spending that doesn't always work but Rangers Glasgow Rangers yes they need money absolutely I'm we're talking about the spending for Celtic but it's on the bench at the moment Paul you know it's not even it's not even on the field you know so John is bang on they they're just showing that they are better Rangers for the first 10 minutes competed they they pressed high up they they they had um an opportunity from the chy for the kick but again we talk about over the course of the Season how strong Celtic going to be over the course of these first 43 minutes you can actually see how much stronger they are than Rangers and here they come again but just overplayed there and it's going to be Rangers breaking but it only comes as far as I think that's Pao Bernardo great play isn't it very strong John isn't it against di also very strong absolutely so Celtic heading towards halftime two up but they're looking for goal number three Oran Rangers Hit back at Celtic again good ball into the box and it's just cleared Craig that was a decent clearance but how many times have seltic got behind down that down that right hand side every time as Rangers now come forward Cherney can he do something Celtic have got people back in numbers but Des goes in a good run there but it's a good ball awful touch touch tavanir got into POS so as call McGregor the captain just takes the sting out of things doesn't he yeah Gary's just checking the sausage rolls mcge R you go on about recruitment though Paul right and whether they're going to be excess success or not you look at kyogo and uh and Maya and particular what a deal that was by the recruitment land to bring them three Japan Internationals in today the goal scorers my and kyogo they have been so special for Celtic in the time that they've been here and sometimes you need a bit of luck they bring in three Japan Internationals not quite sure how they would go but they've been instrumental in celic success over the last couple of years a point no doubt about that everyone was like who are they but an po go glue brought them in and there was a chance there for Rangers the ball trying to thread it through Craig for Des but it didn't quite get there 30 seconds left in the first half I don't think there' be much injury time added but there always is a minute or two or 10 yeah that was a game but as we speak again down the left you've get ma ma take a touch he had time John didn't it wasn't his body just wasn't really set for him to play at first time good opportunity I think if he takes the touch it comes back in on his right hand side he's got more a chance than of picking kyoga Maya went for it first time but I didn't think his his body angle was right set up for that that's a great point that John made there isn't it that you're the guy who was your gaffer for a short time an poao the signings and they're still three years later they're huge players for Celtic absolutely you you look at J as well what they get what they give a j 25 million whatever it just 25 million amazing is it Craig no was top top Recruitment and again from a market that I still think is I'm not talking about J I'm talking about the Asian that is massively overlooked in my opinion yeah I still think so because again you can get some quality May J in J's in sorry Craig J May to Bernardo bernardo's through could go number three one great good save it was a poor shot at the end Bernardo had the chance there to finish the game show great feet Bernardo skipped around three rangers players Inside the Box nobody gets a tackle and look at this comes back inside and it's a really good save you know Butler gets down low to his left hand side and it's the last thing we just wanted for S to go three up before halftime that's a good save if Bernardo scores that goal there that that would have been a goal that would have been showed over and over and over again it was it was great great feet but again Paul it's far too easy for for Celtic Rangers have absolutely crumbled and will be desperate to get in or Philip clont will be desperate to get this team in at halftime yeah if he'd scored there that' be another 5 to 10 million on his worth isn't it just in the context that he's in for matelli not exactly but he's in the Midfield Anders Engles and of course if it was three you might see some of them coming on the second half at two John have they missed balagan today with his presence and his what do you think you you know what John I I like balagan he's got great experience and all sort stuff but I just think that in terms of the the the attack and the pace and the transition that that Celtic offer I still think balagan struggles May well have struggled in this type of game as well so two 3 minutes added on we've had two of them Celtic are two up as we head towards halftime but is there something could Rangers now come back they're up into the Celtic half Captain James tavanir what would it mean to him to get a win even a point today against Celtic but at the moment the margin is two and it should have been could have been more as it's played back to John Sutter the Press is always there though isn't it there's uh hatti this time up putting pressure as Rangers now come forward here's mccoslin trying to get the better of alist Johnson Johnson wins this tussle plays it forward to atti just dinks out to the right as Kun comes forward a good tackle yeah yeah that was a fair tackle for for damond he looks to play the ball forward to des's scales scales ended up doing well there schmeichel with a clearance he's been quiet dases isn't he hasn't had hasn't had service John at all yeah as the con of Baron just went down there but he's back up in his feet as um Rangers come down the right jerney last Act of the first half plays it to James tavir tavanir threads it through the deser great ball from deser trying to play it through to Cherney by the way Taylor yeah brilliant defending so again I'm going to just show that defending right in terms of tracking Runners getting your body in the right position getting across the four for run Celtic have made forward run after forward run both right and left hand side and it has not been matched by Rangers that is the difference in defending halim Celtic 2 Rangers nil Craig M John harson next halftime analysis this is the Go Radio football show listen anytime wherever you get your podcast let's go it's halftime in the derby Celtic leading by two goals to nil the day started with the league t with aine on top and Celtic will join them if this uh stays at 2-0 or more we've uh had the table up there we'll get it up again in a moment or two that's the first half stats I know the possession was it's just I was going to give the stats as well Gary's trying to work me out um yeah shots and Target Celtics seven Rangers three um no in Target three for Celtic and one for Rangers shots seven to Celtic three to to Rangers possession not that much in it Celtic 57% Rangers 43 uh what else pass accuracy not much in it John 83% for Celtic and 80 for Rangers uh stats so how can that be right what's that is it passes you mean no yeah stats who knows I don't go that crazy on these I just think in the first half for me I think Celtic have had too much pace for Rangers they've really troubled them in wide areas I think they've had too much invention I think they're creative um and and and too much gu in and around the box and kyogo scored a wonder goal really really maybe you could look at um Maya's goal Alison Johnson um was it Alis um who pulled it back aliser Johnson yeah so he gets into easy gets him behind the Rangers defense too easy fora yeah yeah it's to PO but genuinely it could be three or four yeah yeah Bernardo did really well with that one and then Craig for K so Rangers point of view this could be sorry Rangers point of view started well Paul started well but again that that's not good enough in terms of you need to them build into the game and they were unable to do that the first uh transitional moment for for Celtic they went up and and they scored yeah it was offside um V K was K was offside um and again The High Line that Rangers are playing in terms of wanting to try and put pressure on the ball and stop Celtic and win it in good areas is great but I just think that the the backline doesn't have the speed and and have been exposed badly because I just think that Rangers have been all over the place they've not been close enough to get Celtic heads down and win the ball um Celtic opportuni this is the first one that we've seen we've seen some of the highlights and all that go you just mentioned K just and again he does a good ball into you spotted it y but that was the rating was in the wall wasn't it very very very much so but Paul again defensively I think Rangers have been really really poor again I'm seeing things that have happened uh in previous games that are still repeating themselves here forward runs by Celtic which which aren't being matched uh Celtic are causing absolute nightmares for for this again you know Johnson there that was for the Maya goal getting to the B line from brilliant from me he's anticipating he's anticipating he's gambling where the ball is going to go and it it's brilliant because Alexa Johnson gets it the only thing Alan Alexa Johnson can do is put it back into an area May brilliant for Alis johns but Maya just getting inside Taver Tav has nowhere he doesn't even know where mayeda is if he all he's got to do is be side on look over his shoulder he doesn't know where mayeda is and Maya comes in great finish this is world class kyo's go kogo go he's he's 28 yards out Po and he's side fored it how can he manage to do that you can't side for it for that long and and hopefully beat a world class goalkeeper in butland that is just it's an Exquisite finish top top finish and again that was from um Celtic defending on the front fo po you know that was Taylor sort of like going and winning the ball off a churny pass forward to kyogo who likes a drop off and but he scores from a decent distance it was a really really good finish U and Celtic have just they've just grown as the game's gone on yeah you know what it is now Paul I think there's a real problem for Philip clont now in Rangers because you know why now Celtic go into games against Rangers expecting to win wow they really really do they don't think they're going to lose they know that they can be inventive creative they got unbelievable better players in wide areas in the middle of the park and Rangers are almost playing against Celtic and going let's hope we we we carve something out let's let's hope that maybe we can get a goal it's more of hoping am I right Craig and Celtic are expecting to win the you didn't feel that because the matchup was much closer Rangers were a lot better than them you beat them 62 they beat you 51 we had we had a lot great games of Rangers Cup finals and we we lost many a game against Rangers but back then they they had proper winners they had men they had experience I think Rangers second I actually think that this Rangers team needs to change formation I I really do I think they need to go five at the back or three at the back you three Center halves and and your wing backs I really do because game we Rangers are in the situation now again with Jeff on a yellow card where I can guarantee you Celtic are going to make sure that [ __ ] or whoever replaces Kun at this match is going to get isolated as much as they possibly can he's already on a yellow card ring just two fullbacks to The Jeffy and tavanir I've been poor they've had a tough time John haven't they we're going to find out what's happening in the second half after this this is the Go Radio football show listen anytime wherever you get your podcast let's go this the Go Radio football show Paul Cooney John harson Craig M Celtic leading 2-n at halftime the goals coming in 16 minutes maida great ball through from Bernardo and he took it really well maida the Japanese International and it was his compatriot kyogo who scored in 40 minutes a pach of a goal given far too much space but a great ball through and what 25 28 yards out he just stroked it past goalkeeper Jack butland quite a few people on the socials Rangers what they're going to do at halftime then so you said they make go to flat back five I just think that they need to maybe try and create an overload in the middle of the park I I think a a back four is is not helping is not helping um I think the high line is not helping I don't think there's anywhere near enough Pace at the at the back for Rangers that that's able to handle um Celtics attack and and the pace of their attack so I would look to like I says yeah change it because what you've been doing over this game and previous games isn't working matono went off as you know replaced by mland is he going to make a switch at halftime or is it going to be you know bringing somebody on he got any other options at the back I think he's got to make changes P he's got to freshen things up y you can't go in with that same 11 because they've not been creative enough and I think he says to his players look we're still in the game we're still in the game we're only two n down we should be we should be 4-0 down or 3-0 down stic should be out of sight let's get it right so clemont says to his players look thankfully if we get the next goal then we've got a chance if they if they concede the next go cly go three it's game over the referee can blow up it's it's it's gone but Philip clont says we're still very much in this game let's start the second half like we started the first half but this time let's just try and you know and get on the score sheet and make it 2-1 and then all of a sudden it can get a bit tricky at that at that sort of score line but the worst thing that can happen now is s to go three and start keep and start playing keep keep ball and John from a Celtic point of view what do you do what does Brendon Rogers have time do he do anything more of the same just more of the same I think Celtic have been excellent they've showed Pace they' they showed a bit of patience early on in the game they scored two very very good goals it might be a case of maybe he'll give TW 20 minutes and bring kyogo off he might have a look at at putting Vala on and bringing Taylor off maybe cuz he's put them on the substitute pench pole so maybe just give some of them a few minutes and that's why he hasn't started with them but I'd be very surprised if he doesn't use two or three of his new signings if the score line stays what it is I think I agree I think they get to that 60 Minute Mark uh he'll start introducing players if uh the the score is the same and to be fair Celtic from what we've seen the first half could easily go on with a job big big task for Rangers clont what does he do he has to make changes in my opinion does he keep Jeff day out there and run the risk of of the same European fate two yellow cards what would you do again I think in this type of game I I I think I would make the change because uh I think you know being isolated and having to make challenges which you need your fullbacks to do uh you you run the risk of of that second yellow and therefore going down to 10 men which would be a disaster two other games on this afternoon at 3:00 Hearts against Lund United my goodness Hearts four defeats in a row so certainly without the win weren't they yeah they lost in the other night so they dropped down to the conference league so hars against UND United tough time for Steven nouth good start for Jim Goodwin and then karuk against HEBs Kelly as well need to get some wins and so do hibs as the former kic star and Ranger star Chris Boyd tough afternoon for him he always wears it in his face doesn't he you can see just watching them there Stan Petro was smiling and James mcfaden just there neutral um tough watch Paul tough watch for Rangers ranger supporters uh again like it says the posit positive start was was only a start was only the five or 10 minutes and one Celtic got into that match and and obviously um got the two goals it was like the concern is what's going to happen this half no changes I don't think we see Jey coming out there just looking at it Rangers out the Celtic players to John well Paul Clement he's looking for characters right he's looking at his team and saying right who's going to give me something who are they who's going to well exactly right we don't we haven't seen it in the first half who's going to give me something who's going to make me stand up and go in on Monday morning and say to my assistant that he was good in the second half he showed a bit of Bravery I know I've got him I know I can trust him right so it's all about character now it's all about character who can stand up now and be counted for in that Rangers dressing room when they're right up against it it's okay doing it when you're in front you know and you got momentum now he wants to see people what what sort of character is he got now the TFO changed at halftime from let Glasgow flourish to let Celtic flourish they're flourishing at the moment 2-n it could have been wider uh hatti what a chance he had Rangers that started really well well it's live in Sky there's inan Crocker on with Neil mccan and Chris Sutton your striking partner along with Henrik lson lon's not on today but we've got John harson here on Go Radio football Show with Craig M as the game gets underway um Celtic are playing left to right as we look from right to left B your partner as we look from the main stand as Rangers now start sharp chance for deser but too much on itar by CV po touch it was a poor touch damond does well to Rob hatti I think plays a ball forward and Des has just couldn't keep it close enough couldn't keep it under control and the ball's all the way back to the other end it's played back to Jack butland former well England goalkeeper he's got seven caps should have been more but he's at a busy afternoon made no chance really I don't think Craig would that be fair the goals no it was it was a great finish by Koga the only thing you could possibly say is he he probably wasn't Central of his goal John was he wasn't off but that that was real vision from kyogo to almost spot that because he should never be beaten from 28 yards out with a side foot pass into the goal he is clearly over on one side too far Baron in the Midfield Rangers uh I'll give you the give you the Celtic lineup schmeichel Johnson Carter vicker scales and Taylor McGregor the Captain Bernardo and hatti Kun MAA and kyogo and you know on the bench strong bench Calo the new keeper trusty just in Palma Ida V macen just then of course from dande Engles the uh the Belgian 11 million pound signing Mone great things expected of this young player forest and Rolston well James Forest come on of course who's enjoyed a lot of success in this fixture for Rangers butland Taver proper sutor and Jeffy Sterling Baron and diam Mato went off of course chy and Des sorry Pa there sleep in here MOS Nick Des say that's a powder puff that's a powder puff effort yeah no power he's got to strike that get through the ball to the left side of Casp Michel he does nothing with it L Trio there wasn't he was I mean again it was Cel in attack here again into the box but straight into the arms of Jack butland that was a chance at the other end just looked that I mean if Rangers could score this early yep no belief no belief it looked like again this is he he's never going to let you down in terms of the work rate the effort that he puts in um but again that was a big chance and he just doesn't get a hold of it fluff these lines in front of goal and for Rangers the change there was Mosin who came on after about half an hour for matondo so it's uh MOS with Cherney and deser up front Celtic two Rangers now 48 minutes gone in the derby Celtic just knocking the ball about look at nobody's Rangers players have got there you go two meters every time they receive the ball Celtic have got two m 3 m 5 meters too easy Celtic will be looking John angles the angles of Celtic are playing that one player comes out in of of his area then he leaves a little bit space for another player to R run into you know they're making an angle so they can receive it on the back foot so they they're all almost proactive in terms of the next pass they're going to play it's great football it's great football from Celtic atat to McGregor McGregor to Johnson Johnson out to the right to [ __ ] 15 yards out makes for the by line winter corner it's uh comes off of Jeffy who's on that yellow card um it's been quiet aart I mean again it it was a yellow card obviously because K had turn and there was spacing behind but he hasn't really hasn't really been involved in the game there's been a lot that's gone down his side in particular the first half as the rain comes down there but Celtic Celtic with a with a corner going to be taken by Bernardo K is out there as well John batting the referee this afternoon decent first half I think we'd agree here it is right footed into the box great header there oh free header but it's still cleared still in play there was a chance there for MAA but it's hatti on this left first Contact first Contact again is Celtic there it's similar to what happened in the first half where MAA gets in near post gets ahead of the fizzes cross a goal um and Celtic could have easily been on the end of that once again Casper schichel well out his line as he likes and starts an attack here for Celtic [ __ ] down the right it's played back to Bernardo Bernardo they're beaten by Sterling so as uh deser tries to get involved tries to get a tussle there with kikers katers just Shields him off only one winner there yep the USA international he's still there Craig didn't he absolutely H ragged dises then the Rangers have won um a free kick Midway in sight well this is this is great from MAA that's that's a good chance but then it's not so much the first head that it's the second one that Cel are trying to get on to and actually kyogo just runs past the ball um but a good chance again for Celtic to make it three that was John that was like very very similar to the the first half MAA gets in headed to the far post and kyogo nearly gets in at the second stick he makes a positive run there John F he put the brakes on yeah he probably gets a tap that's right yeah he just runs past it doesn't he de's not happy saying his shirt was pulled been a pull on him he's not happy but these days you're not allowed to speak to the referee are you it's up to the Captain J was there yep cameras on Sky are on Philip clong he's just stroking the beard think Craig would have been bucked every week Paul if he couldn't speak to the he used to get into ref year every single week heed a referee games by the way morere it's a good I actually think it's a good ruling though John in terms of because there's nothing worse when you see players surrounding the referee I think it's it's going to be a free kick foul there on damond so Rangers can they come back into Celtic two up there let's see the foul again it's B Bernardo he was a bit late as well so dandi clutching his ankle it's going to be what's that 40 yards out Cherney over the ball so to is tavanir it's probably going to be the left foot of Cherney proper is there got Bernardo on him there's John Sut the heights up there left footed into the box chance but it's headed away still edge of the Box headed forward another chance for Rangers cleared This Time by alist Johnson and it's still with Rangers with Conor Baron well if Rangers get the next goal you'll see a massive momentum shift you really will the players will believe they'll start believe at 2-n it's a long way back but if Rangers get the next one and make it 2-1 that's going to make a huge difference as Rangers come down the left ball played into the box chance for Rangers must it's clear there's going to be a corner kick so that was a real chance Craig M it's a real chance I think it's mccoslin that that that fires the ball and he actually does well puts it in a dangerous sorry not it's chy in a dangerous area the ball Falls for Sut gets a shot it's blocked yeah ums to he's unlucky he just he doesn't try to blast it he tries to side foot it in the end it's it's a good block Rangers having the best spell of the game so far as James Taver right footed whips it right into the far post Michel's gone Downs come off the post still in play in fact is there two down y two down two Rangers players are down we'll see the replay deser is down sut's back up that was uh some danger well is this Sut the back post Sut the back post gets a head up it goes off the off the post I don't know what I can't see anything wrong with that it's a big like big hit Corner yeah and shoot it does brilliantly doesn't give it up and he heads it back across and he comes off the inside of the post yeah I didn't say anything wrong with that Craig did you what was that f for yeah maybe if anything were slight nudg by su scales very fair Craig Mo uh as is John harson very balanced from more two to Celtic Celtic actually having a shaky spell at the moment and it just shows you John you said it Celtic should have been three up right on just before halftime they missed it and the ascendency now with Rangers cuz I guess so the manager said come out Rangers go again like they they you know to be fair the rangers they also did start the match positive but it's just great down the left ruthless Celtic car ATT him behind so easy Right Here Comes Celtic then hatti still edge of the Box he's looking up he's looking for options K McGregor is there but bad really really wasteful there that was a chance from a really for Celtic Kat's in and he just slows everything down and there's players kyogo is in there bernardo's trying to get in the Box John Anders Engles warming up to come on yeah the 11 million pound man i' i' like to have a look at him today I'm sure the S League fans would pull okay and he might come on when you know Cel a win in the game you know and he not be won't be tested that much but it might be a good time to put him on you know here's hatti Celtic in the Rangers half looks forward good ball through for MAA has got the paces we know tries to cross come shot past the post a little bit wasteful join your old team at the moment yeah Maya makes great runs he he comes forward you know there and he's just off and he plays on the shoulder of Taver he gives Taver absolutely nightmare he does jum but that's awful awful defendant it really is ah by T by Central Defender there it's like the space is behind there if you can't sometimes you you can not make it a foot race Paul you can still put your body in the way so he has to then run around you and all that it's just too easy for those forward runs at Celtic are making to get him behind Go Radio football show Paul Cy Craig M John harson 55 minutes gone there's a number of the Rangers fans love 55 titles but it's been a couple of years since that Celtic have won the last three titles two them under an POA kogo last season under Brendan Rogers we're seeing referee John Beaton there so he's pulling the play back I think it's going to be a free kick for Celtic I would like clearly to get goal number three and finish the game Rangers have looked better start of the second half although they started the first half well um and then Celtic pounds kyogo it was chocked off but then MAA scoring and then kyogo shootter doing there as Celtic he's tried he's tried to tried to D forward down the left Celtic have robed see again because I maybe suit they he's got no other op here Celtic let's keep our eyes and ears on this one remember the okay so quick free kick Celtic tried to play but Beaton has called it called it back fortunately for Rangers because Celtic once again um Le like you're two up you can't take it that quickly yeah not just would they don't normally just lump it into the box they like to they like to play it short and play little angles in the around range just P the area 20 30 yards out on this left side Bernardo into the box but this a PO one isn't it goes out for a corner kick yeah decent delivery in from Bernardo none of the Celtic players actually went for it travan you know helps it on with the header out for another Celtic corner but again chavan probably could have headed it out the way rather than for a corner put more pressure on theam ra just making a change Tom Lawrence is about to come on after 56 minutes before this corner kick but no the referees allowed that to play on Bernardo tokk back down the right Nicholas Kon still in the ball plays it for hatti 30 yards up he's forced back to goal plays it all the way back to alist Johnson Johnson out to Captain McGregor McGregor uncharacteristically poor ball there Celtic have just not get going in the second halfi again I don't think he really needs to come out and play it almost back to Carter Vias on his own halfway line I think when you got the momentum there and you right far up the pitch keep it there y sometimes no need to come back and go again Tom Lawrence the Welsh International on for Muhammad diamandi so Craig what you looking for from him Tom Lawrence he can be when he when he's on it he can be very effective now look he again an attacking player number 10 he's going to have to look to try and play off McGregor um and be positive in terms of try to create opportunities don't want to see him defending too much because Rangers need to get a goal to get back into this match I think it was sad earli in the week Paul that Craig balam we had already been in touch now the national manager for Wheels uh with Tom Lawrence and he said look he's still still very much in my thinking but you need to start performing and giving me some really good uh performances for Rangers and then I'll consider you for one of the squads so it's totally down Robert Page almost didn't want to know Tom Lawrence why well he was really frozen out but Craig come back in and said look if you're doing the business I'm going to pick you so it's completely down to Tom Lawrence now to show that attitude and get back to the player he was that we saw that Derby under Wayne Rooney he was terrific that's what got him the move that's right y so it's Celtic in possession they're two up as we head towards the hour mark will Celtic make some changes we saw the 11 million pound Belgian warming up a few moments ago we'll let you know the ball played all the way back to Casper schmeichel schmeichel just dinks it out to the right to the head of Bernardo he is a good game hasn't he Bernardo has done well very good as he tries to win the ball that's what I like he gets back and wins oh misses pass the post that was a chance what a ball through to the kyogo he D it so Lively plays on Defender shoulders and and it's a brilliant ball through kyoga can always get there with his Pace but um tries to dink it this time he doesn't score Craig a let off for rers just trans Celtic is so good at transition you know uh kyogo always ready to make that run forward I mean look at it here Celtic in the middle of the park boom he's on side great forward run one-on-one he' be he'd be disappointed that he doesn't score he's tried to lift it over an advancing butland and done should have I wasn't a striker John will know better than me in terms of I think he does the right thing he he he just gets it a little bit wrong Paul you know he just yeah great play yeah brilliant ball again from um from HTI and the two Japan Internationals Lincoln again is brilliant that John your thoughts at the moment then for Celtic time for another goal well they they creating chances aren't they you know that that that is a guilt Edge chance from kyogo you'd normally back him to dispatch that from there but um I think while it stays 2-n it's still still a precarious score line okay Rangers still have a little bit of belief don't they are two they get one back but if it goes to three then um it's it's fmly game over come to you in a second Craig the balls played all the way back there was a great Tackle by Cameron Carter Vickers as we see Engles gets the Celtic jersey on for the first time um and but he's not come on just yet Craig for Rangers just what's your thinking just now I tell you what for Rangers I'm not seeing a lot of a lot of hope uh for me that yes a goal can change this and it can swing uh very quickly but at this moment in time Celtic just look as if every opportunity they get going forward is is is a goal threat and and really that's very concerning you know winning the ball in the middle of the park there like that last opportunity one forward pass and kyogo through one-on-one with the Rangers goalkeeper it's been far too easy I think for Celtic so far today just showing that tackle there Cav Vickers on deser AR the angles getting ready to come on hasn't come on yet the hour has come and gone we've played 61 minutes Celtic 2 Rangers nil Conor Baron how's he done for you it's been tough for him today but yeah it has been tough for him that game because he is a real competitor I think you you give him a task uh um and he will stick to that but I just think playing as a six by himself in there I think he would really benefit with someone a little bit more experience beside him to to help him through but he he's honest Paul there a chance here for Rangers coming forward it's blasted over though by mccoslin Greg did you see that one yeah again mosin's out on the left pool uh we know that he normally plays on the Right comes here on his left you know not not a great deal of confidence there it's a difficult chance as well it's bounced up quite High he trying to play there across there's angles coming on John Celtic record signing yeah coming on for Paulo Bernardo ber you know on loan last season then signed in the summer along with Adam Ida who could well come on Bernardo he's done well for you John I think he's done very well um he's done very well you know you think mat O'Reiley would normally play Bernardo comes in slight little bit of pressure because every thinking well you know can he can he play the role of a Bernardo but no he's his own player he's got his own style the way that he plays but I thought he had that first um that first 62 minutes he was excellent for Celtic and Celtic fights with Ary Engles they'll be looking for a young de bruyne maybe Jordan or is that overly ambitious but he's really highly rated hence 11 million pound yeah well everybody keeps saying you know 11 million pound record signing we're all expecting him to really hit the heights but he doesn't decide that Fe you know that's between the two clubs um so I just hope he settles in really well and becomes another quality Midfield player for Celtic and as I said Paul contradicted myself a little bit but for that money you'd expect quality sure the biggest before that was oddson eduward wasn't it 9 million for Celtic he's 11 but as you say it's not place he's Rangers coming forward Tom Lawrence his first touch of the ball comes forward with purpose plays it out to the left back into the box Chad's go no just gone past sorry that was uh big chance Craig should have been a goal it should have been a an effort on On Target uh Rangers get the the overload good ball in is a canwell canwell opens up with his right this time and Chan's behind him mland yeah it was mland yeah I think if he leaves it if he leaves it then chun's got fre hit out it mosin's tried to do it but he he's not in the right sort of his body angle wasn't right yeah and chy was would have been on his on his left foot it would been a taing for CH still they keep missing opportunities to go three and all of a sudden you know they'll be giving Rangers that little bit of encouragement in the game pole if they keep if they don't go out out to sight here that's what happened um well a couple of times last season Celtic winning was at five of the six um but there was a 3-3 game where Rangers scored right at the end that was bers that game wasn't it that was crazy that's great advert for for the football and for the neutral have you ever met a neutral have you ever found one as Celtic come forward kyogo but well tackled there and the ball played back all the way to Giant butland 64 minutes gone butland looks up what the options for him and he plays it what 40 50 yards forward up to the halfway line but it's scales who heads it down but only as far as uh diamandi sterling sterling plays it back to Sutter Sutter across to Jeffy signed in the summer it's going a bit quiet a Celtic Park hasn't it it's John you're right Celtic fans just now hoping for another goal finish off this game they they'd love another goal I think I mentioned it earlier if Rangers want to quieten the crowd they they're going to have to come back with a goal here and make it a bit of a nervy sort of last 20 minutes you know for Celtic but the way it's going PA both sides are breaking they both getting opportunities um you know we've seen both clubs both teams getting good chances in the second half it's just that the finishing has not been clinical enough from both sides yet Celtic goals for so far this season 11 goals no goals against in terms of the league only one goal against it came in the cup game against hibs as Celtic come forward down the right the two up here's Kon Kon towards the edge of the Box plays It Forward chipped forward by aler Johnson but it comes off mccoslin mccoslin to McGregor McGregor out to the right to Johnson Johnson into the box deflection what a save though by butland that was almost an on goal Craig yeah it was a cross that's come in in the wide area right hand side from Celtic does take a deflection and butland has to make a a great save in the end he's done really really well to get down low to his left otherwise it could have quite easily been 3-0 for Celtic great save when the goalkeepers all of a sudden go in one way and he has to readjust and sort of save it on his inside if you like brilliant save stopped they going 3-0 there butland John you'll probably score if I say it but kogo might come off soon maybe possibly maybe give and you know 20 minutes he's going to be fresh he's going to be hungry to get on the score sheet here's the corner into the box but it's headed away but only as far as K who's a terrific shot but it cannons off ores Defender who did well still in play but it's now gone out of play it's going to be a throw in as Celtic player has gone down took a heavy fall there co ah it was more you're you're right it's more his his fall rather than sure yeah t to bring on James Forest maybe yeah again I think you know Celtic probably at that stage where small [ __ ] does take a bad was it Lawrence comes across gets the block but [ __ ] comes down on his back it looked like des's been booked yeah what happened must been a bit chat off he's not happy about it so yeah seral deser Passa yeah point point there is if he's got a smack in the mouth I I don't know from who John it wasn't you was it no no we're we're in front Paul I don't do that when you're leading you two I'd love to have uh wouldn't it be great now if I had known then that I would be working with you ah so physically aggressive behave yourself Sor but you know what we' meet in the players bad after and we' have a good old chat and a that's what it should be like he's the ball forward to deser Des plays it to um jery jerney edge of the Box oh it's a poor ball it's wasteful Craig isn't it defending though by needs the pass he's actually defended he's defended very well what's happened off the ball just looking to see it's a yellow cut another yellow I know Gary's keeping to Tom Lawrence he's not happy he's not happy he's saying you having a laugh referee I think something like that on the new player Engles on Engles uh let's see it here we go he just brace himself body check welcome to Scotland yeah Tom but Tom Lawrence has picked up a yellow card there but again he's you know he's on he wants to try and impress it wasn't over the top it was just a body check and angles goes to ground yeah just uh play has stopped manager Brendon Rogers in the suit hands in the pockets what is he thinking about maybe what I think about moments they've had moments in the second half I don't think they've been as good with their passing as crisp as what they were in the first half where they were very very good but saying that theyve still had their moments they've created one or two opportunities if the score line was a little bit more you know we'd be saying how good they've been it's only because they've been a bit wasteful you know Paul but they've still been very good this could have shaped up pretty much in C been a lot of chances really has been end to end a Celtic come forward umti doesn't quite thread through though to um the new player who's not we not seen much of so far he's only been on for five minutes as Rangers now seeing a bit more possession the second half P Ball by Tav but he recovers and plays it out to to the right it's Connor Baron now anchoring there for Rangers in the Midfield plays it forward to Chen this is a good play back to tavir tavanir to the left here is Sterling Sterling plays it back to Connor Baron Craig a decent spell for Rangers here's Cherney down the right what's on who's in the Box des's his hand up he's looking for a delivery but too much and Cherney tries to take on too many tried a little bit too much Paul he gets himself in a good position right hand side of the field he's trying to get onto his left Rangers have got four Bodies In The Box there but Celtic now on the attack again Koo through but it's just too much on it yeah see but I think the two key differences as well between Reign and Celtic Celtic are very good in terms of when they get the ball centrally and then transition rapidly the that has led to a couple of clear one-on ones for for Celtic Rangers seem to work around the outsides to then try and come in um and it's maybe well shown it's not as potent and Celtic have created more chances 70 minutes gone and it's all so exactly 2:00 so range the headline now at 2 J's overdoing it now he's trying to do too much yeah he's trying to do too much and he's not going to run away long ball forward for kyogo he's got as Johnson in supports kyogo edge of the box into the box wrong choice a chiper was across and it's cleared so I think kogo May well book in another book in who this time was it there was a we pull there wasn't it in the jersey of Jeffy there's no need for that John was there really there wasn't really Jey wasn't really it's it's [ __ ] who gets booked Jeff is not really going anywhere he's in the left back position and it's a bit of a wasteful booking maybe time for Forest as uh yeah maybe Forest will definitely get he's he's angry there Brendan Rog cuz you're looking at um kogo who's been brilliant just got to take that little bit more Care on the pass and SEL get in Tov one and of course you don't want to get down to 10 men you know you get a silly booking do one little thing no and and like I says we both play I want to see 11v 11 on the field you you definitely want to see that I mean Kon picks up a yellow card there and again I would have no issue if it wasn't a yellow card the only reason he's got it because he's just tugged on the Jersey long ball forward for Rangers going cash for schichel does well shepher it out of play as Sterling was charging forward he's got a bit of pace yep James Forest coming on a Paul Co you've got a chance in this game and Nicholas yeah so is he done he's done very well I think he's been a threat on that right hand side he's used the ball really well I think he's he's passed it when he's needed to when he needs to run that play and get a Crossing he's done that I think he's had a good game you can see the CTIC supporters there giving him uh I don't know why last for James Forest coming on it 500 as you know John 500 appearances for Jamesy Forest isn't it phenomenal 100 goals isn't it wonderful say some some player second most decorated in the history of Celtic it was only the man who was what was the 81 the other day Bobby lenx MBE wow who is the most decorated Celtic player uh who played in the 60s 70s and the 80s s coat's finest iser's finest what a lovely man Bobby L is brilliant guy lucky to meet a lot of the Lions but yeah normal finer than Bobby Lennox the legend the great y as Rangers know so still in it Celtic leading by two goals to0 72 and 1/2 minutes gone yep there we are 500 appearances for James Forest 24 major trophies look at the assist goals isn't that amazing yeah phenomenal so we're watching on Sky Paul Kun lucky to be in the company of anyone but particularly John harson yeah you see my stats yeah 110 goals 20 assists yeah that's right yeah and he's like at J Forest joking they didn't record them as much I wasn't assisting too much James for the ball look at the space he's got look at the pace what a lovely ball through to dies in maida maida receives now down the left he's 30 25 yards out 20 yards out back to James forest forest edge of the Box lines up for a shot it cannons off for Rangers player off Sterling comes back for Forest who's he got he's got kyogo next to him he's got Johnson the overlap go for the shot hand shout for a penalty so will be checking they just got to play onpl to the whistle at the moment Rangers are now breaking out at Celtics back four Tom Lawrence to the edge of the Box good tackle I think there's a couple of things to look at this the penalty foul penalty and handall it's hand ball and there the foul but John at the other end here comes Celtic again Celtic down the right just the pace has just dropped a little bit stretch the game the game has stretched a bit though Paul you can see that it is pretty much end to end the last the last few minutes y James Forest plays it out to the new player Engles Arie Engles um I think they are checking some things as if the players are waiting to hear if anything's going to be pulled back I would thought so here's kyogo kyogo deep out to the right to James Forest he's got Johnson in the overlap and oh he tries to thread it through but it's picked up by Jeffy who's look at the the ball yep here comes call McGregor shooting where he did last week what a goal Callum McGregor 3 n it's let the goal he scored last week he's done it again the captain 75 minutes G Celtic 3 Rangers nil oh what a goal Kum McGregor picks it up about 25 yards out shifts it onto his left left foot dummies shifts it again and he hits it and it's a rocket it's a rocket to the right side of butland goal 3-0 car McGregor you've got to get a blocking from a Ranger's point of view but what what a strike from the C then how much did he enjoy that John you can just see it there here's the replay coming up Craig from uh it's again Rangers will be really really disappointed you can't take anything away McGregor that's a wonderful strike you actually do enough starts outside the post it's got a little bit of tail and that's a great finish but it starts from maa's reaction little little deflection as well I think of Sterling there ah okay that's what put that puts puts a curl on it but it starts from May his reaction Rangers have got the ball deep in their half they get caught with the ball by me either working ever so hard to win the ball McGregor I think that's his third third goal from outside the box already in the last few weeks um but a 3-0 game finished uh really disappointing goal for Rangers to conceed but M McGregor a great strike as they're making a double substitution former Dundee Captain luk M and the Celtic favorite scored the winner in the Cup Final in May Adam Adam and have we got one more there seen a third substitute there as well you might be for Hatachi I think it'll be kyogo for y yeah absolutely there's only two there that I'm seeing yeah hatti and kyogo I see and John what a moment for let's say luk m Boyhood Celtic fan apparently dundy Captain started so well they and last minute he's uh in Glasgow he wanted him as well but he yeah wants to go to his Boyhood Heroes but also he has to back himself to get some games you know he's up against a seriously strong Midfield but I'm sure he's come on today he he's somebody that Brendan roders would uh obviously likes got him in the group and it's down to maau now to try and force himself in you don't want to go to a club pole will be playing five six games a season you know and I think he's got the ability to force himself in you know and his captain was just telling him what he's looking for just now Craig so it's happy days for Celtic at the moment 77 minutes Rangers what did they do now did they try and hold it at three or damage damage limitation it really is and try and try and finish the game as strong as you possibly can um this is a sore one Paul they're going to they're going to be hurting and they're going to be taking a bit of flack you know players and coach on the back of this because once again Celtic have shown that they're um making very very good progress and at the moment Rangers seem to be uh being left behind um so they got to really try and dig deep as Rangers come forward chanu for desos desos he's got Cav viers with him he's got two Celtic players on him play it back to Mosin Mosin up chips it to the far post for tavanir shot from tavir great save by schmeichel it's going to be a corner good save well worked down the left hand side by Rangers ball comes into the far post Tav gets a good strike off schmel makes a good save quick Corner into the box chy with his right foot and it's a save that you'd expect yeah definitely I keep my like with sm's quality to make it's C I don't think cavia catches it as sweet as he would have liked into the ground but it's right at the body of Casp Michael and he Palms it out for a corner just trying to Big it up a wee bit for the radio John keep the excitement going there Wonder strike what a save down in installments like you say was comfortable for wasn't it it was a comfortable safe yeah it was John there's the Celtic fans doing the PA in so they're happy today think most turned up expecting to win not sure if they expected to be as comfortable as what they've had Craig I know has been comfortable I mean Rangers have had had moments Paul in terms of the start of the first half they've had a chance two in the second half but over over the course of the match Celtic have been well worthy of their their comfy margin at this moment in time Greg your old Club they need investment nothing much been said about it was pooed last week American Investment uh da King who is the major shareholder or not the biggest shareholder um but he said no no not my shareholder but something needs to happen you can't put it just at the looking at it today man you know Des has it's been hard for him because he's been a bit isolated up there but you look at what Celtic have got now edah yeah they've got kyogo and they've also got MAA who could play through the middle I a Rangers got many options in terms of a of a center forward that can play right down the middle of the park other than Des who else can play this triple change John we'll come back to that in a moment or two there's Leon balagan there's Danilo and and also rascan so there's Robin proper going off his first old firm game yep so balagan we're going to see igam Mani as well he's coming on actually it's haven't seen I haven't seen igam haven't seen him at all yeah so and it's Sterling Cherney proper going off sorry John just to update there I see you asking John so in terms of a striker that through the middle yeah look Rangers don't like it looks like they need one of them absolutely absolutely but that's why I they create enough chances Craig they create a lot of opportunities it's just today they I'm taking them yeah again I I just think that in terms of the finances the ownership P I think you know would definitely the Rangers need someone with Deep Pockets I I you know I feel sorry for des's because I just don't think the Rangers are a team that create JN anywhere near enough opportunity for him here comes Celtic the three up but they are still going luk MC gets one of his first touches plays it back to James Forest but it's one there so it's Rangers now coming out of Defense man he did well there played it to Tom Lawrence Lawrence forward to deser he's got CCV on him so it's serial deser nice one gets R CCV uh into the box goes all the way actually never gives up but eventually it's cleared by Celtic out to James Forest his 500th appearance for Celtic something you don't see very often somebody oneman Club all these career don't see that used to see it quite a lot in you 20 30 years ago nowadays if you have five or six bad games you know and somebody comes in for you generally on the move again that's right as Rangers now trying to well 3-0 but they'll try and hold this or try to snatch something that makes it look you know more respectable oh if anything Paul it would be a consolation goal um as it sits at this moment but again that's what Rangers need to to strive to try and get y it's it's it's going to be a long season the spending the transfer window has closed so the supporters has it have to have to get behind they have to get behind the the team and they know that this is going to be uh a project as such and this team will need the support because they've been I would say well off it today Celtic have been far better yeah we will will the manager get the um funds the big support that he's looking for will will all supporters I don't think they will he's got to start winning games he's got to start beating Celtics sooner or later because the fans I don't care will get disgruntled so in terms of that Craig yeah you can have money you can bring you can lose ones but you got to start getting results against your big rivals here come Rangers down there left as we will play it back to in a moment or two it's into the box headed Away by Cameron Carter Vickers headed down then by uh Forest to alist Johnson intricate play by Celtic confident but they've lost the ball there very good tackle here's rascan rascan showing a bit of invention and tenacity so still Rangers back to Conor Baron Baron a chance for Rangers shot but way over the top 25 yard strike from Rasin why not and but you're right PO he doesn't hit the target um who have we seen thator famous Christopher Walts Walts from the bond he was a bond villain Christopher Waltz is remember him yeah top actor top actor but yeah John you were asking in terms by the way there's going to be a lot um a lot of noise after this match and even towards the manager is is what you're saying because you're right this is the game that you need to be winning Philip clemont hasn't and there's still showing to be quite a big gap at this moment in time between Reigns and Celtic we'll talk more later but the question would be for him surely is this what he signed up for Philip clone because you know there's been very little money to spend this summer we know last year under Michael 20 milliony Jeffy proper John Here Comes Celtic we'll talk at full time to Ida Adam Ida getting one of his first touches the Celtic fans love him now an Ireland International Striker plays it to Carter Vickers out to the right familiar figure of James Forest Scottish International of course named in the squad for Poland on Thursday and why he didn't play against Hungary what Scots fans just don't understand why is they're not played as Celtic come forward again three up going for number four McGregor the captain who scored the third plays it right but it's uh poor ball few of them falling there because been wet early this afternoon as Rangers come forward Mosin tried to get it through there but it's Falls second ball for Lawrence Lawrence to the far post but that's going to be easily picked up by Casper schmeichel we just look at it today churny Jeffy propa Baron the four signings that clemont has brought in they've been very average today you feel Craig you agree you know they they they've not what you'd say is impressed I don't think clemont's going to go home and say you know what he done am I right in yeah you know what I think the biggest criticism unfortunately for Rangers is is the word consistency uh and it's been in clemont's time it's even in this game as they have a chance and and it's mland can't shoot from the shoot them from a ridiculous angle MOS Celtic was slack but it's still back with Mosin it's going to be a corner kick to Rangers we'll do the 0808 17 17 700 5 minutes to go as there's they're showing you a man they could do with Ferguson sitting there in the director's box um he will be fuming he will be absolutely fuming as well yeah it is because you know there's nobody proud of and what a record one of the great alltime great Rangers players and captains and my goodness Craig they need somebody like that so you know his attitude with all of you and I know you had it too um in the dressing room mland and might have been told right cam down you too five minutes plus stoppage to go no point in getting a booking so it's going to be the ball for Rangers we see Casper schmeichel give us the wide shot here it comes corner kick tavanir good one right into the box but it just evades everybody and it falls for Luke MC and he wins a throw in for Celtic off Tom Lawrence so we saw Joe Hart earlier there at the match as well I see um n gaker was at the Man City match yesterday another win for them hatrick for harand that was amazing wasn't it who says he doesn't fit into the system he's got more goals than games yeah I think he's got 70 goals and 69 starts phenomenal it's phenomenal John harson and Craig Mur with me Paul K if you want to speak to John and to Craig you know the number 0808 171 17700 three and a half minutes to go plus what will be 5 minutes or something stoppage with all the uh subs subs yeah but you know it's funny these days they're not a dirty game at all is it it hasn't it hasn't been poor I mean both both groups of players have been honest they've competed like you'd expect in this type of match but there's been no nastiness in the game at all and the referee therefore has had a I'm sure a day that that he would have enjoyed in terms of the decisions he's had to make goals came from MAA kyogo and McGregor as Celtic in possession again it's been knocked about in the Midfield so Forest to McGregor mcgreger to maida I tell you maida covers just about every inch of grass doesn't he on the pitch plays it back to skilles skilles just plays it forward for Taylor Taylor to Luke Mac who's got the blond locks as well they've got a few of them there haven't they yeah uh as Rangers now trying to come forward trying to get a goal orbe it a consolation with two and a half minutes to go C Vickers has just gone down there getting himself back up doesn't look too bad okay got a watch that he missed training one day during the week but the manager said he's not necessarily spotted there uh every every single day yep he's still holding his left you know what's happened he's probably just as he's headed there sometimes you can come down on a player's Boot and you come down on an unlevel surface maybe maybe just roll his ankle a little bit mhm hey how's that surface there Celtic should be Immaculate I was a fill yesterday it was looking great no big win for the jcks in in the derby against Queens Park who had some good moments but it was uh partic thistles day it's Celtics day today yeah it was 3-0 there yesterday and what you laughing at so Gary no I'm trying to I'm trying to watch in there and he's trying to set up sorry that's right the camera is getting in the way there off C because I wondered why so it's Rangers now coming forward down the right mland going to be is it no yeah it's going to be a free kick might even be a yellow card yeah Greg Taylor great yep another just because po mosin's played it by he can get it the other side Taylor's professional foul so the referees made the right the right call there um Greg Taylor picks up a yellow card with 88 minutes on the clock anyone not been booked and we'll try and sort out in the next four or five minutes no sending off anyway that's it uh and it's going to be James Taver right hand up he's looking so he sees Des is up there who else is there John Sutter right footed into the edge of the box it's headed down still around the Box K McGregor let it to take one bounce and then just clears but it ranges again back to tavanir but it's Ma look at MAA everywhere still uh tackling and winning a foul winning the fouls James tavanir is that kind of tenacity that's needed though isn't it he just doesn't stop you know and that that was again one of the things that we heard about M either when he first comple maybe technically not unbelievable but his work ethic is incredible Brendan always trusts him in these games doesn't he trusts him his work rate his ability to score goals as well his first goal was excellent the position that he took up on the Finish he's kind of very very good unsung hero John isn't he he is he but I think now Paul he's proved himself more than proved himself and the Celtic fans you know give him the the credit that he deserves he's got goals absolutely I think he's he's earned that and now he's one of the main stage in the Celtic team which is a very good side now for sure and he scored the first goal which can be all important because Rangers had their moments I mean Rangers were started really well Celtic a bit wasteful there so Rangers can they get a consolation we played the 90 minutes it falls to seral deser deser there in a tussle is that a free kick no referee says play on it comes off Kum McGregor uh mid's back we're just talking about him there he's back defending he's just nodded it out of play it's going to be a throw in four minutes at the yeah John beaton's had four minutes of of the assistant ref but yeah it's more like put ranges out than b Now isn't it in a way four minutes just a sub you know nowadays I think automatically John with the amount of Subs three or four minutes um obviously both both teams have used quite a lot of their subs 88 17 17700 John harson on Celtics Victory three up at the moment and Craig M for Rangers how do they regroup and it's going to be a long season but Rangers coming forward still trying to get a goal it's lobbed forward by Tom Lawrence it's going to go out of play and it's going to be um the goal kick Casper Michael he's not as much to do has he really I'm trying to think a couple of yeah a couple of moments but Rangers have had their moments it's just that SEL like have been a little bit more clinical SEL have had maybe more moments in the game better chances you know uh and they've just been convincing they've been clinical and it's been comfortable really you know 3-0 but as I said the only way that Rangers could upset celic today or get something if they'd scored early or if or or if they'd been more clinical themselves in front of the goal but they haven't offered too much up um in terms of defensively they've been poor defensively ConEd really poor goals two minutes of injury time to go just over two minutes the Celtic are in the Rangers half uh there's uh Engles but he's lost the ball um was there a push there some another yellow card hows have we got Gary there's uh few many many that's the uh who's getting the yellow card on that one so I think that was Engles that maybe up Arles is in the book yellow card not sure there was that much in that was there really so but anyway here come Rangers Connor Baron gives everything doesn't he sweeps out to the right to James tavanir Taver into the box oh almost at the head a still a chance another strike still there must be a goal no it's cleared by Celtic that was three chances in quick succession there for Rangers and they're still in possession edge of the Box Luke maau clears for Celtic long ball up field but it's headed down by John Sutter only as far as dies and maida maida fires one forward Adam Ida Ida alongside Sutter Sutter back to Jack butland John Brendan Rogers would be raging if they lost a goal this late in the game a few players had the chance to score Mosen in particular but fair play Sly got across they defended with their lives and determined to keep that record of not conceding a goal in the League this season here come Rangers though it's uh Lawrence Lawrence down to the B line place it into the place it straight to the goal at the two can cut it back to Lawrence oh my God edge of the Box you've got we're just see replay we're talking about SCH not having to make too many saves made made a good one there come out with his legs spread himself moslin as we're having a footage of Joe har there as well who I'm sure's a lot happier than what I am at this moment in time smiling yeah what what about Tom Lawrence there what a chance to pick T Tav I'm not sure some there was someone else two Rangers players on the edge of the boxer that's about getting your head up and seeing things you know and at this stage of the game they're 3-0 down they you know they're just searching for something and if Tom would got his head up there he might have picked somebody out 10 seconds remaining Celtic in command the ball's played to Liam scales scales to Luke mown Mac out to Greg Taylor back to scales scales would be very good today Celtic 3 Rangers nil the goals coming from maida in 16 minutes then the second from kogo in 40 McGregor sealed it in 75 minutes so another win for Celtic John hson yeah a really big win for Celtic when it really mattered today against their big rivals yes they were favorites but they still got to go out and deliver I thought they was convincing uh the strikers in particularly uh kogo looked really really sharp scored a a brilliant goal Paul I don't even know who to give man of the match to I think there was four or five outstanding performances in that Celtic team Rangers had their moments again they couldn't capitalize and when Celtic had the big moments in the game they managed to score and then 3-0 I thought over the pece pole I think it was fairly comfortable for Celtic Celtic fans what do you think 08 08 17 17700 as the captain C McGregor congratulates a number of the players there's hatti coming back on who had some moments there's deser speaking of the referee not happy about something but it wasn't a controversial game uh by any maners or means there's the the captain just going around all the Celtic players Craig m a big win for Celtic yeah it was a tough afternoon for Rangers very much so uh a again leading into to the match I think everyone was kind of of the opinion that Celtic have have got a stronger Squad a stronger team than Rangers but you still need to go out and prove that Rangers started well in the match uh but it was for five or 10 minutes Paul and Celtic were ruthless and and again what they've done has been quick out of the the traps most games this season scoring in the 16th minute uh and you could see the confidence go right through um the Celtic team created the bigger chances the best moments okay yes Rangers did have opportunities but again for Philip clemont he will be coming away uh scratching his head thinking how do I improve this team how do I take this team forward cuz it showed that there's still quite a big gap between Celtic and Rangers at this moment in time yeah I would agree with that that this you know Rangers of back clemont they've uh you know and and to be fair Rangers have had to sell a lot of their big players a lot of their big earners the experienced players but he's G he's been given a little bit of money he's brought in several players whether they're up to standard whether at the quality of actually playing for Rangers in these big big testing games if you like where you have to be at your best time will tell in terms of how his new signings will do but Celtic Paul right in the crest of a wave just about to go into a the biggest Club competition in the world in terms of the Champions League um so there's a real Feelgood Factor around selic at the minute and obviously questions to be answered with regards to this Rangers team 0808 171 17700 on an afternoon when Celtic win the Derby 3-0 this is the G radio football show listen anytime whever you get your podcast let's go this is the G radio football show listen anytime wherever you get your podcasts call 08081 1717 700 let's go Celtic players still out there after winning 3-0 in the Derby this afternoon against Rangers of course Craig Mo and John hson 0808 171 17700 John a question coming in here from Stevie saying would any of the Rangers players get in your starting 11 of Celtic this afternoon no I I'm being honest I I don't think they would if you can if you can bring up the Rangers player and we can debate it but I don't even think honestly there's a debate you know you you could you could say well Rangers fans might come back and say well butland but no Casper Michael again has has kept another clean sheet he's made a brilliant save from aand late on um butland was completely in the wrong area and kyogo sidef footed one past him for 28 yards so clearly it's a brilliant finish but but's got to be looking at his starting position and the answer is Paul Chris Boyd has just said I don't agree with Chris boy all the time but I've got to be honest Chris Boyd have just said it there on Sky Sports there's not one Rangers player that could get in sik's team craigm it's it's hard to argue with that Paul it really is again I just think it's showing the the Gap at this moment in time between Rangers and Celtic um you know again Celtic probably didn't have a a standout performance today but I think across the board they were good um Rangers huffed and puffed you know uh five first five or 10 minutes of the first half a little bit of a spell but just nowhere near good enough um and for the supporters I really feel for the supporters because as we said the windows closed now so this is a team that they they've got to try and support and Hope can improve their performances there were key moments weren't there John that Celtic didn't start brilliantly what first five or 10 minutes looked um not as assured as normal no they they almost trying to work their way into the team Pole to see what maybe Rangers had to offer yeah and I think early in the game uh Rangers started the game well they wanted to play in in Celtic's half played a few long balls in there they had a decent chance early own from from tavener's free kick and then when Celtic decided to take over they FW into a 2-n lead 2-n at halftime Rangers are thinking how do we get back in this game they had their moments but s they had maybe more moments if you talk about Rangers his his chances will Celtic double that chance and if they if they have chck their chances today it could have been four to five maybe 4 to 51 or 4 to 52 but still saying and as I said I thought Cel were very very convincing today I think the the Paul the route the route to goal for Celtic and don't get me along it come off the back of maybe hard work but they'd win it in keyas in the middle of the park and it was it was one pass and then Celtic would clear through on goal yet for Rangers when they were in similar situations it seemed so much harder to to get close to the to to the opponent's goal so that's where Celtic were very good and I say that's where Rangers were very poor Billy's on saying uh 0808 17 17700 he came on with a voice note and he's saying Craig what what are Rangers going to do who is there that's come in other players who can help to bridge this Gap because he having watched today doesn't think it's going to happen well again I think unfortunately when you look at the two squads Celtic for me uh at Absolute shins for the title um Rangers are going to be working progress which is hard to take for a lot of the supporters because that's never been the way at the football club but unfortunately they're just going to have to try and support this team and watch them improve o over the season because they're not good enough to be competing for the title pass march today he's asking in the Rangers team I'm just looking at butland you mentioned there but he was probably at a position for the first one so he was but he made a good save then in the second half the late one where he had to get down to the left look I thought Baron was was honest enough he works extremely hard you know dimand I thought was okay as well it's hard Paul it's hard when you when you're when you're clutching at straws now you know Rangers have been battered three goals to nil and you thinking who done well pass marks but for me are you concerned are you bothered about pass marks they've been hammered 3-0 and they all need to look at themselves in the mirror and they've all get got to get back to to getting into a position where they can start winning games again the managers got to stamp down on the ones that he feels he can trust and today it looks like he can't trust any of them they were that bad today and we're talking about player pass marks I think there'll be a lot of fans what are the you know does the manager get pass marks good for selection substitution style of play um again these are all questions and they're valid questions Paul that are going to what else can he do Craig in terms of changing of or maybe thinking with the formation because he's only got what he has to choose from are are you seing it like anybody on the Rangers bench today could they come on he made changes it didn't seem to make a difference but what I would say John is is just looking at that game today and for the way that Rangers wanted to play that game being out the park defensively they're not quick enough when you're leaving when when you want to defend high right and you leave a lot of space behind you you need quick Defenders so again in terms of recruitment in terms of what what's played there I think there needs to be more thought in terms of how especially in this particular game how you going to set up today wasn't a successful way to set up Liam's been on saying John what about Callum McGregor outstanding he led by example Skipper a real Captain's performance kept the ball drove forward got back behind the ball when he needed to wonderful strike with the goal um to make it 3-0 and he's incredible player and I think Scotland must be devastated that they haven't got him to pick from anymore he made that decision that's his prerogative but listen I I've I've always felt that Callum McGregor has been a wonderful player um and he showed it again today you know he's he's the first first name on Brendan roders his team Sheet he's reliable he's classy he speaks well and he's just he you know since Scott Brown left the club and he was given the arm band he hasn't looked back he if anything he he's took his game on a level Paul he has phenomenal hasn't he James Taver he must be hoping that maid was too late now isn't it he will have nightmares about maid people said that before the game here um but this is the toughest match for him yeah especially when he always had these tussles with MAA MAA we we know never gives Tav an inch and you know probably has him for for pace and that sort of stuff and caus him a lot of problems but again for me this game's not about the the Taver I just think that the gap between the two teams at this moment is probably the biggest I've seen um for me it was a it was a tough watch because uh Celtic do just look that comfortable um and I just think that Rangers you know can be so much better just in terms of the moments in the game of Defending better there's things that I've seen old firm game after old firm game that are still happening Paul that haven't been rectified so well just in terms of the first the first goal the passage of play the rotations I mean that that's for me I mean we Rangers do have video analysis and all sort of stuff that's just repeating the same mistakes which is paor and the second goal from kyogo which was' just seen there on Sky I mean took it brilliantly Craig but from a Rangers point of view he gets so much space well again you're right but Taylor he he wins the ball in a good area for pass but kyogo then has the ability to turn and there's not a range of central Defender within 15 yards and then you can touch on but's position and all that sort of stuff but so again there's a lot of things that need to be tighter that can improve but Celtic well deserved winners for their for their 3-0 win John the Callum McGregor goal take us through it for those missing who didn't see it or maybe they're in the cars heading home now it takes a slight deflection I've got to say that but he strikes it really really well and I think maybe butland might have struggled anyway to save it what the deflection does it just pushes it closer to the far post but's Out Of Reach and it just squeezes itself into that far post still a great strike s needed it at the time you know Rangers were not so much putting his end under a lot of pressure not punch but they were they were threatening once or twice in the game so that third goal from Kum mcgreg completely killed the game off and it made a quite a comfortable afternoon for for Celtic John uh criticism coming in of Rangers quite rightly given the way their playing for Celtic now what's next cuz the title ain't over but it's looking really good if they continue to play Europe how much you looking forward to and my question really is how good of are the signings I know it's early but with the window closed now are you feeling that with these eight games coming up in the Champions League Celtic can get some wins get back to winning at Celtic Park given the draw you well what they've done is Celtic they they've got cover they've got a lot of cover now and they've got a really good squad when they need it when they need to change when they need to make um changes during games as well you can give players a rest you know because obviously still in Four competitions Champion League can play quite heavy on the legs because you're doing a lot of traveling maybe on Tuesday Wednesdays coming back and playing then again on a Saturday so what Brendan roders has he's got quality players now almost two players for each position poll and that's what that's what managers want in terms of adding to their group they think they've added really good players angles got on today did okay Valor a left back cover for Taylor Valor might even get in as first choice we saw today Eda coming on for kyogo um you got Ralston there he hasn't made many changes on that right side but he's got Forest today who come on for [ __ ] so Celtic now have got options they' made six or seven six or seven new signings they got another fantastic Keeper in schichel what that could be aru the best signing that SEL have made you reckon I think so he's right up there to replace someone like Joe Hart so they got momentum they are riding the crest of a wave there's a Feelgood Factor there they've just beaten Rangers they go into the Champions League now um with with a good feeld they have a massive crowd at Celtic Park whether or not they contest the best clubs in the world you know we'd have to see that Austin trusty as well of course there Craig do you think Celtic are shaping up as a good team for Champions League well I I think the league that they've been drawn in um I think they've got a great opportunity Paul I think it's a it's a a good League uh I think Celtic have got a real um spring in their step a real Swagger about the way that they're playing and I probably think that this time this season I think they're probably equipped as as best as as they have been um so I expect them to do well in the Le in in the the league I think it's a good round of games for them John I think you called it right Sky have given it to Callum McGregor the man of the match which I think we suggested a few moments ago yes Celtic in Europe they've got leig AR lepic at home they've got Club Brugge at home young boys of burn at home and uh slovan Bratislava at home they're way to Dortmund it's going to be some game isn't it Atlanta in Italy um Zagreb they're off to there as well and also Birmingham for Aston Villa yeah that's a great game but but you look at Atlanta they were uni team last season to beat Bay L Europa League final so that they had a good side at Atlanta but there's teams like br laava maybe leig maybe one or two others the Celtic can look at in the home fixtures and say by the way we we can win these games absolutely John I think the four home matches that Celtic have that you touched on there I think that they will be extremely confident that they could potentially take maximum points look at that determination in the face of Kum McGregor I used to see that when Richard gof was Captain at Rangers in the tunnel up against a really good Celtic team but there was a confidence and a determination a Ste L yeah and again look McGregor was excellent again and when you know Rangers weren't necessarily in the game at 2-n but again he gives him no hope when he gets that third goal p and puts it Beyond doubt so he's he's playing good stuff the the not playing International Football not great for Scotland but amazing for Celtic because they now got someone that's fresh and ready for them every week absolutely and what a likeable Kum McGregor he he he's a bit like Henrik lson in the sense that he doesn't rest on his Laurels he wants to get better and better every week he's outstanding as a player but he wants more he wants more he wants more trophies he wants more performances from better performances from his teammates and his consistency because he's been so good if he's slightly off people are saying well K McGregor wasn't quite that is only because he's raised the bar in terms of his own performances Paul and when he is slightly off people are going oh McGregor wasn't quite added today because they're so used to seeing him play at a high level so he plays an awful lot of games um during the season that's maybe one of the maybe reasons he stopped playing for the international team because he wants to concentrate on performing and being Captain uh for his Club but his consistency levels are just unbelievable 0808 1717 700 John Hon's here along with Craig M this is the Go Radio football show listen anytime whatever you get your podcast let's go let go Celtic dominate The Derby three-goal Victory this afternoon you know the story already MAA scoring first kyogo second and the third from man of the match Callum McGregor so inquests going on you can see in social media Craig the Rangers fans but first John Celtic fans so happy so they're top of the table joint with Aberdine Celtic four games four wins goals for 12 goes against zero yeah in great form in particular great form finished last season um in brilliant form and again they've started off like a train haven't they that first goal the pass from Bernardo the little lift aliser Johnson with a desire to get to the goal line cuts it back and Maya just arriving at the right time like we see him doing a lot and it's a great finish just seeing the goals again now this time is kyogo finds himself in a load of space where he can turn under no pressure and it's just a beautiful finish he must be 25 yards how does he get the time to side foot that ball in it's incredibly it's he's so gifted but you'd have to look at but's position as well you know in terms of Craig he's give he's give kog got an awful lot of room there on that left hand side but take nothing away from the Finish it's a top finish and you're right I think butland just because again Rangers had the ball they lose it quickly it doesn't actually go into the corner so that gives you an idea IDE of but's position proper where we see at that one Craig he he actually to be he doesn't get sucked out to kog on the ball because there's a runner off his shoulder so he has to drop but again there's just Rangers were disjoint disjointed at that period of time kyogo it was a wonderful finish pull Aberdine are joint top four games four wins 84 two against a goal difference of six last minute goal and Kevin this bit okay early days but the good way to start yeah start with a goal Rangers at third top still some games this afternoon remember uh four games two wins one draw one defeat 8 four four against seven points motheral also on seven points dundy on Six Points dundy United playing this afternoon they're on five they're up against Hart so if they were to win they could Leap Frog Rangers and motherwell sent mirin on four after the draw yesterday S Johnson on three Ross County on two that was cruel last well 97th minute goal as we mentioned Harts on one point they have to win this afternoon it's massive hibs one point what's happened to Edinburgh also for them they've got a big game at karuk and karuk bottom of the table um we know they for the European football but uh my goodness dere mckinn will be desperate today a lot of Rangers fans are on saying what's going to happen Jack B must be thinking what what where where am I what has happened Philip Clon what's he thinking but he signed a new contract what 3 weeks ago um and a lot of people saying where is the investment what the board going to do about it you can't keep sacking managers well you know you can't and I'm scratching my head as to what the the direction um is going to be at Rangers and what is needed and I I I think new ownership I just think that the current crop have maybe done what they've been able to do Paul but but I think it's a stage now where um Rangers need somebody with Deep Pockets um because the gap between Rangers and Celtic at the moment is getting bigger and bigger financially and it's a huge if you're a ranger supporter it needs to be a huge concern so new ownership for me again you still need to be smart with your recruitment that is very very important but Rangers don't have the money and therefore the Gap is getting bigger unfortunately Kevin musket was the other choice wasn't he it was between and I know he's a great friend of yours my best my best mate Paul but again we you know Rangers he had two interviews at the time he he lost out and he was devastated to lose out at the time to Philip clont was he devastated yeah he thought it was it was a great opportunity for him and it would have been a great job but Kevin now is doing very very well in in China with Shanghai port and that that ship's well and truly sailed John contrast it with Brendan Rogers so this time last year you know he come back it was quieter when he came back in the summer people were surprised but I mean the football purus thought what a good signing for Celtic having lost an poao but my goodness his Gil his judgment you towards the end of last season and how would you Su up well that's what that's what Brendan will tell you about himself he likes working with players on the training ground pole and he likes bringing players in that that not the finished article um and he improves them that's what he's always said he's a Wonder everybody will tell you about Brendan roders um tell you lots of things about him but the one thing they'll they'll always go back to he's a terrific coach loves working with younger players making them better that's what he gives you so now he's got a group of players as we've said he's probably got two players for each position and he's added that you don't really know how good they're going to be Engles and Valor and and um maau and all these all these players time will tell but you look at it when they come into a fabulous Celtic team you know they've got half a chance of doing really really well because you know they're joining a great side with with um you know they've got that uh philosophy that that the way they set up they can change any minute under Brendon so listen he's done very very well he won the double last season looks like they're going to clean up again this season yeah Brendan had a had a really good opportunity today to to blood players to that environment yeah that's what I mean yeah and what was you're right what was in the end a comfortable result the biggest game uh that you get in the calendar year obviously domestically so Celtic set up and going to be very very hard to pick back it was probably not a great fixture for Rangers when you look at it as's a fourth League game of the season they have to go to Celtic yeah the Champions and the Rangers hav been sold lots and lots of players but still you know Celtic have come out um comfortable winners today and Celtic had to do it this time last year John as you will remember you know they'd gone out remember of The League Cup Brendan Rogers first cup defeat ever in Scotland because we know we've been away for five years but K three four years came back and went to I Brooks they were The Underdogs but they won today Rangers came as The Underdogs but they lost by a three-goal mar I think if I'm not wrong I think that's six wins in the last seven games it could be worse than that if you look at the record in itself Brendan's got an unbelievable record as Celtic manager only lost once against Rangers there you go there you go and and R I said before the game Celtic are now going into games knowing that they've got a fantastic chance of winning you know whereas Rangers came today and thinking well you're hoping that said they play Bad um you're hoping that they can really turn it on but but they just man didn't manage to do that have they all forgiven Brendan Rogers now I think they should I think so po listen there was there was disgruntled supporters when he left he was the same when he come back but listen when he did come back he was probably the best man for the job and uh he's going on to prove what a wonderful manager he is he he was successful before he left by the way at back toback trebled um but coming back you know I would imagine that the fans are absolutely ecstatic with what he's what he's doing right now sure is Craig where the Rangers go now um because the Windows shut so yeah what can he do look there's only one thing that they can do and that's to to go away and dust themselves down p and and and work as hard as they possibly can and look to to build up confidence Again by by winning other matches and unfortunately this match you're always going to you know get the Fallout and it can it can it can be quite strong and it can last so that that's a challenge for the playing group and for the manager that's the challenge that is is very real and staring them in the face let's take a call Derek big Rangers Fan is on the line good afternoon Derek good afternoon Paul good afternoon Craig Hi dere D Craig I he you keep saying this afternoon we'll come to the investment or the ownership of the club in a minute but you keep saying can't sack managers but but you've got D corz that Alan sign and Chelsea H I think you've got to you've got to look at these signings they're young boys and they're no experience that should have been his first signing should have been an experienced midfielder that can control the game and I I think two these questions have got to be asked to the management team that's five games cig without a win against Celtics and the gap's winding and get getting wider and wider wider and that for for DM Lind are you telling me he's a for player and what we' seen of him so far yeah yeah no no D I'm not saying that you can't you can't sack sack managers and look the reality is we know when you're when you're not performing especially at Rangers that there is that pressure um and nobody's safe especially when you continually keep coming up short against your your rival so no look I mean the manager is definitely under under pressure and I think everybody at the football club is because the recruitment hasn't hasn't been good enough I mean obviously you know they were late to the market financially that that that plays a role but I just think tactically Derek I I think tactically we were well off it today in terms of the way that you know we were expected to play and I talk about the backline the backline doesn't really have the pace yet we are quite high and I I just felt we were exposed badly so you are being critical of the manager quite rightly as well this way Paul sorry for coming in you Rangers have just given the manager a new fiveyear contract yeah sure they have trusted this man to get Rangers back to the top ulence of football especially in Scotland and we questioned his recruitment we questioned it last season when when they were in Prime position to really go on and drive forward and trying and try and clamber Celtic you know their dominance in terms of getting the league back at ibrs they failed to do that they failed today they failed in the Champions League and you giving the manager who people are criticizing already criticizing his signings his formation the way that he's gone about it okay and they give him the hierarchy the money men the people at the very very top at Rangers football club they give him a new deal that's that's what you got to question not the manager the people were giving him the New Deal Derek you think maybe the board done that John to silence the fans to say you're going to back the manager no matter what and because of the way the shes are deled cig then it would be really hard for somebody to buy The Club at the moment the way the shares are deleted so because da K can't even sell his 14% so interest doing it the lack of money it's got well H as SC as me Jo that Rangers gave him a a new contract because he's not done enough for me to be giv a new contract if you can't beat then s problem but D do you think as well in the end you look at Van Broncos they sacked him Michael Beal they sacked in they're in a position now they can't sack another manager they can't pay him off they play they played van bronish off beof they just go almost we have to stick with this manager and see what he gives us Derek do you agree I think next two weeks on Sunday night if it doesn't be night be G yeah again d i I can't disagree there he should beat Dy United you know they are the promoted team from the championship if you can't beat that they should beat dundy United and they will beat dundy United all right there's John there defending Philip clong at that point Derek we're out of time thank you for your call Craig final thought on Rangers before we talk about the winner of Celtic this afternoon again things can only get better things better it could be Gregory has been on here quite a lot of Celtic fans who are on and he is saying Ping On The Agony putting on the style an old song John harson final word then about Celtic this afternoon 3-0 they dominated the Derby yeah well you know they go into the game uh three wins not conceding a goal again very very professional they look the better out but they look as if they got better players and it's very difficult for Rangers now right now you know the they're chasing their tail financially and and performances on the pitch so for me it was it was a thoroughly deserved win from celic and certainly now clemont and the Rangers supporters want a reaction now on the pitch from their team John Craig thank you so much for joining us we'll be back tomorrow night at 5 Barry Ferguson and Mark gidy will be here with me at the Go Radio football show it's Celtics day in the derby 3-0 see you tomorrow at 5 this is the Go Radio football show listen anytime wherever you get your podcast let's go
