  1. FULL-TIME Rangers 2-0 Celticpublished at 13:51

    It's all smiles for Rangers in the May sunshine as they secure back-to-back derby victories at Ibrox against Celtic.

    An emphatic victory for Steven Gerrard's side against a surprisingly lethargic Celtic.

    Rangers have to get another loan season out of Ryan Kent. A huge force on this kind of form. An awful lot to admire in Rangers’ performance. Pace, energy, wit, aggression, goal threat.

  3. Celtic making hard Burke of it...published at 13:47

    "A top-class striker fires that back towards the corner Wes Foderingham is coming from. But Oliver Burke has tried to drag it and he's scuffed it."

  4. CLOSE!published at 86 mins

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Ryan Kent fizzes a shot inches wide as the hosts chase a third goal. They may have lost the Premiership title race, but Rangers will earn bragging rights following the final Old Firm derby of the campaign.

  5. CLOSE!published at 84 mins

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Celtic finally have an effort on target... six minutes from time. Brilliant play from Odsonne Edouard sees him ghost away from two Rangers challenges, but Oliver Burke finds Wes Foderingham with his weak effort when it looks easier to score.

    BBC Sportsound pundit Neil McCann says Burke's effort "lacked conviction".

  8. 'Lennon almost resigned to losing the game'published at 13:39

    Jim Duffy
    BBC Sportsound summariser

    "If Neil Lennon was going to get the Celtic job they would have given it to him by now. We would have seen a more animated Neil. He looks almost resigned to losing the game. He's certainly not as fiery as he usually is."

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 78 mins

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Celtic keeper Scott Bain's mitts and the woodwork deny Rangers a third goal. Jermain Defoe stings Bain's palms with a fierce drive. The veteran striker then sees his cross-cum-shot come back off the bar before Celtic scramble clear.

    The Premiership champions are a ragged bunch this afternoon.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 76 mins

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Celtic's central defender Kristoffer Ajer has probably had better Sundays. Culpable for Rangers' second goal, he earns a booking for a late, sliding challenge on Ryan Kent.

    Rangers fans greet every home touch of the ball with an "ole".

  11. 'A very dominant performance from Rangers'published at 13:34

    Neil McCann
    Former Scotland and Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound

    "It's a very dominant performance from Rangers. They have set the tone. They got a huge spike in energy from the early goal but I'm not sure they even needed that. They've been so far in front."

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 73 mins

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Celtic winger Jonny Hayes is booked for chopping down Scott Arfield, who has bossed the midfield for Rangers this afternoon.

  14. 'Terrible look for Lennon'published at 13:31

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    This is a terrible look for Neil Lennon’s prospects of getting the Celtic job. His team has been out-played in every department.

  15. Ajer to blamepublished at 13:29

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Jim Duffy
    BBC Sportsound summariser

    "Defensively Celtic - Ajer particularly - have got to read that. He's improved tremendously but he's still got that little bit in his game to improve upon. One lapse in concentration."

  16. Rangers coasting to victorypublished at 67 mins

    Rangers 2-0 Celtic

    Rangers hold a two-goal lead in the Ibrox sunshine and it's difficult to see a way back into this game for the visitors.

    Neil Lennon rolls the dice, bringing on Olivier Ntcham for the ineffective Tom Rogic.

    Neil McCann
    Former Scotland and Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound

    "So many good things to talk about for this goal. Kamara - and I've watched him do this since he signed for Dundee - just absolutely sells Brown a dummy with a change in direction and then there's a little slide ball in to Defoe. And Arfield is just so alive up front and he times it perfectly. That is a brilliant goal."

    Scott Arfield

    It's been coming. Rangers double their lead with a move that slices through Celtic's defence. Glenn Kamara dinks a ball through, brilliantly dummied by Jermain Defoe and Scott Arfield shows composure to keep away from the sliding Kristoffer Ajer and fire home beyond Scott Bain.
