    The crossbar again! This time it's Mikael Lustig nodding against the frame of the goal from a corner kick. Connor Goldson is then first to the loose ball with a vital interception in a frenzied six-yard box.

    What an effort! Allan McGregor can only stand and watch as a wonderful 30-yard strike from James Forrest pings off the crossbar.

    The atmosphere isn't as loud, but a lot of that is because Celtic's style isn't as cavalier as it usually is. It's controlled.

    Olivier Ntcham tries to catch Allan McGregor out at his near post with a fierce, curling strike. However, the experienced Rangers keeper is alive to the danger and does well to push it away.

    Naughty... Allan McGregor does well to push away a curling free-kick from Callum McGregor. Kristoffer Ajer lands near the keeper's feet and the goalie throws a boot in the Celtic defender's direction. He's lucky the officials didn't spot that.

    Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, sent off in midweek, gets a ticking off from referee Willie Collum after barging into Dedryck Boyata as the Celtic defender attempts to clear his lines.

    Celtic have got their style back today. McGregor is coming in off the left hand side and letting Tierney go round the outside of him. There's plenty of movement from Celtic but they're just finding Rangers too stubborn to break down.

    With Odsonne Edouard haring after a long ball over the top, there's more good work from Allan McGregor as the Rangers goalie comes out of his area and controls with his chest before hoofing clear.

    Celtic captain Scott Brown is caught trying to play out from the edge of his own penalty area and Ryan Jack has a pop at goal, with his shot whizzing over the crossbar.

    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    Celtic's Olivier Ntcham whips in a dangerous free-kick and Dedryck Boyata is not far away from making contact in a busy penalty box. Allan McGregor is a picture of calm as he gathers on his goal-line.

  16. YELLOW CARD - Brown (Celtic)published at 10 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    Celtic captain Scott Brown is the first player cautioned as he slides in late on Kyle Lafferty.

    There wasn't a great deal of contact, certainly not enough to merit a prodigious leap into the air from Lafferty but it was rash - and a bit daft, since the ball was deep in Rangers territory.

    Celtic are dominating possession and when Rangers get it they are going direct to Lafferty on the left hand side. Lustig though has that height and presence to compete with him. Celtic have started the better team.

    First corner of the day goes Celtic's way as the home side make all of the early running. Callum McGregor curls it into the mixer and there are a couple of bodies down after some grappling. Referee Willie Collum just watches on as Rangers eventually clear.

    Mikael Lustig v Kyle Lafferty looks like being a lively tussle. That's twice they've been involved in what is known politely as a "coming together". Both men are fired up for this one.

    James Forrest has the home fans on their feet as he bustles into the penalty area from the right and lays the ball off to Odsonne Edouard but the Frenchman is crowded out when trying to turn and get a shot away.
