    Rangers 0-0 Hamilton

    Now then, this is a real test for a text commentator since this game is not on TV and it's not on the radio...

    Far from ideal, but we'll stumble through with the help of updates from the world of social media and our friends at the Press Association and the SNS group.

    Rangers v Hamilton (15:00)

    Talking to RangersTV, manager Steven Gerrard says: "We've stumbled in the last two league performances and it's vital we get back to winning ways. Good teams react in the right way and they bounce back. We need to perform like we've been hurt.

    "if we play anywhere near how we can at home, I'm sure you'll see three points."

    Rangers v Hamilton (15:00)

    Rangers lost their unbeaten home record when they lost 1-0 to Aberdeen and followed that with a drab draw at Dundee.

    Any kind of win today will take Steven Gerrard's men top of the Premiership on goal difference from Kilmarnock.

  18. Lennon hails 'outstanding' display from Hibspublished at 14:50 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2018

    FT: Hibernian 2-0 Celtic

    Hibernian manager Neil Lennon tells BBC Sportsound: "It was an outstanding team performance and we could have won the game by more. We had good athleticism and penetration and good discipline off the ball."

    "It annoys me because two weeks ago at Kilmarnock we were absolutely pathetic.

    "We're starting to look like the team we can be again. But you can't save your performances for the big games. You've got to do it week in, week out.

    "There’s been a bit of a dip but we’ve got our mojo back and I thought we looked every bit a match against the best team in the country. We broke with good pace and got down the sides of them.

    "I'm proud of the players but most of all I'm pleased for the fans because they've been great for the team, and for me, during our bad run."

  19. 'I never felt we had enough'published at 14:46 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2018

    FT: Hibernian 2-0 Celtic

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers told BBC Sportsound: "It's disappointing all round really. We didn't start great of course.

    "We just went chasing the ball and left the spaces open from very quickly when we were 1-0 down. Not the best start.

    "Our game wasn't great after that. We were too rushed in our build-up play and in the moments we did get into some good areas that quality in and around the box wasn't there.

    "We think we can be better in the second half and we look at that at half-time, but our discipline left us for a moment at a set play, they break away and score.

    "But I never felt today we had enough. Obviously the exertions of Thursday played a part but not a part in the two goals."

    Rangers v Hamilton (15:00)

    When Hamilton visited Ibrox last November they won 2-0, their first success in Govan since 1987.

    They have been on the end of a couple of heavy defeats by Rangers at the Hope Stadium since then, including October's 4-1 reverse.
