Summary

  1. 'Celtic happy with their work this week'published at 17:09 Greenwich Mean Time

    After they got their first goal, I think Celtic controlled the game, to a point.

    I thought in the second half they upped the tempo a bit.

    When the chances came along, they really took them and will be very happy with their week's work.

  2. 'Far from convincing from Rangers'published at 17:06 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

    Former Rangers and St Mirren striker on BBC Radio Scotland

    There was a slight improvement in the second half from Rangers in terms of tempo and creating opportunities. The first half was incredibly disappointing.

    St Mirren were excellent in the first half. Second half, they were good but didn't create that big chance they were waiting for to try and get themselves in front.

    Then Dessers did really well to cut it back for Cerny, who had a simple tap-in. It was an important win, but it was far from convincing.

    This victory was met with only mild applause from the Rangers fans who stayed the course.

    They got what they wanted in terms of all three points here at Ibrox but not the performance they would have hoped for.

    This game was right in the balance up until the final whistle, with the home side only playing well in patches and unable to find the consistently high level of performance their manager is asking for.

    Indeed, had St Mirren been more clinical, this game could have been altogether different.

  4. Celtic cruise after early scarepublished at 17:03 Greenwich Mean Time

    Celtic exerted almost complete dominance in the end, but it might easily have been different had either of Lennon Miller's early strikes found the net instead of cracking off the woodwork.

    However, once Celtic got that lead through a really controlled finish from Luke McCowan, they took a fierce grip on the game and earned a thoroughly deserved win.

    Most telling was the visitors' options coming off the bench. The return of Cameron Carter-Vickers was a big plus and Adam Idah once again contributed.

    Liam Gordon's late red card just compounded was turned into an afternoon of frustration for the hosts.

  5. FULL-TIME Rangers 2-1 St Mirrenpublished at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time

    A hard-fought victory at Ibrox keeps Rangers hot on the heels of Celtic and Aberdeen at the top end of the Premiership.

    Tough for Stephen Robinson's side to not take anything form the game given their level of performance they put in, Alex Gogic levelling after Mohamed Diomande's opener, but Vaclav Cerny grabbed the home side's winner.

  6. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:58 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

    Another great chance for Cyriel Dessers.

    The Rangers substitute is one-on-one with Ellery Balcombe and goes down in a heap claiming the goalkeeper has pulled him down.

    VAR man says no!

    We are six minutes into stoppage time and Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers has a shot blocked in front of goal and St Mirren are still in this game.

  8. FULL-TIME Motherwell 0-3 Celticpublished at 16:56 Greenwich Mean Time

    Celtic return to the top of the Premiership table with a solid win over Motherwell.

    Lennon Miller hit the woodwork twice to scare the visitors, before Luke McCowan steered in the opener to score on his first start for the club.

    Stand-in captain Alistair Johnston grabbed Celtic's second and substitute Adam Idah added the third to seal a victory that takes them above Aberdeen on goal difference.

    Motherwell 0-3 Celtic

    Celtic go in search of a fourth, but they are denied by some last-ditch defending from Ewan Wilson.

    Reo Hatate breaks free in the penalty box and slots a shot underneath the goalkeeper, but left-back Wilson is there to clear on the line.

  10. RED CARD Gordon (Motherwell)published at 93 mins

    Motherwell 0-3 Celtic

    Yup, he's gone.

    Goodbye Liam Gordon. A needless challenge by the Motherwell centre-half that will infuriate manager Stuart Kettlewell.

  11. VAR check at Fir Parkpublished at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time

    Motherwell 0-3 Celtic

    We've got a potential red card check here at Fir Park.

    Motherwell centre-half Liam Gordon has gone in studs up on Adam Idah and referee David Dickinson is being called across to the screen...

    That looks very nasty.

    Adam Idah

    We said the third was coming - and we've been proved correct.

    Adam Idah combines with fellow substitute Nicolas Kuhn, getting on the end of a low cross to tuck home the third goal.

    Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

    St Mirren are not out of this yet and slack play gives Conor McMenamin the opportunity to race into the home penalty box.

    However, the forward's low cross is cleared from in front of goal.

    It's an outstanding save from Balcombe. He just gets his fingertips on it.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

    It should be three for Rangers.

    Vaclav Cerny is found just inside the penalty box, the Czech winger has plenty of time to try a trademark curling right-foot drive aimed at the far post, but goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe does well to turn it wide at full stretch.

    On come striker Mikael Mandron and midfielder Caolan Boyd-Munce for St Mirren as Stephen Robinson goes for broke in search of an equaliser in the last 10 minutes here at a now rain-soaked Ibrox.

    Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    Celtic are toying with Motherwell now. Alistair Johnston drills a cross low to the back post, but Daizen Maeda cannot connect.

    A third for the visitors very much feels on the cards.

    Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

    Rangers are really pushing now and a Cyriel Dessers hand ball near St Mirren's corner flag gives the visitors a much needed break.

    Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

    Big chances slip away at both ends in similar circumstances.

    Mohamed Diomande cannot gather a long ball into the penalty box that would have put the Rangers midfielder one-on-one with the goalkeeper - the Scott Tanser does likewise at the other end.

  20. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time

    Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    Almost a third for Celtic!

    A brilliant ball from Reo Hatate finds Nicholas Kuhn, who takes a touch before teeing up Adam Idah - the striker just on as a sub - but his shot clips the outside of the near post and goes wide.
