FT: Rangers 0-2 Celtic
The Celtic players are over saluting their small band of followers at Ibrox. The home sections are clearing pretty quickly.
A whoop of delight from manager Neil Lennon as the final whistle sounds.
Celtic move three points clear at the top of the Premiership thanks to goals from Odsonne Edouard and Jonny Hayes.
Rangers 0-2 Celtic
An outrageous swipe from Jordan Jones on Moritz Bauer and the Rangers substitute takes the long walk off a few moments before the rest of his team-mates.
A horrible challenge. Red mist stuff...

Quote MessageRangers were done on the counter-attack, but it came from a wonderful clearing header again from Christopher Jullien
Jonny Hayes
Celtic kill the game off on the counter... Olivier Ntcham sends Jonny Hayes scurrying into the Rangers half, with no one back there. Allan McGregor keeps out the first attempt but the ball drops back to the substitute, who keeps a cool head to knock it in.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
We're into six minutes of stoppage time as a header from Connor Goldson drifts wide.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Now Bobby Madden is going card daft as Jonny Hayes is cautioned after squaring up to an angry Alfredo Morelos. Nothing in that at all...
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Referee Bobby Madden has to reach for a card this time as Scott Arfield grabs a handful of Olivier Ntcham's shorts and just doesn't let go.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Great defending from Connor Goldson as the Rangers man slides in to intercept a raking cross from Jonny Hayes. Odsonne Edouard was waiting to tap that in if he hadn't got there.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Mikey Johnston has put in a good shift for Celtic, setting up the only goal so far, and now he gets a well-earned breather, with Jonny Hayes on.

Quote MessageIt's actually brilliant play, but it is a poor finish from Ntcham. I would expect better from him, but he fires it straight at Allan McGregor
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Olivier Ntcham and Odsonne Edouard combine neatly to work a shooting opportunity for the former near the edge of the box but the substitute can only shoot tamely at Allan McGregor. The rebound pops up in the air and Ntcham heads wide under pressure.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Two more corners to Rangers. Celtic hold firm. Can the home side find a leveller? Time is running out.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Corner to Rangers now and as Celtic clear their lines the ball falls to James Tavernier. The Rangers captain only has one thought as he meets it with a thunderous strike but the shot goes high over the crossbar.

Neil McCann
Former Scotland and Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound
Quote MessageThe first save was good, the second one was much better. He didn't have any time to think about it but saved it with his foot
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
From a corner, Allan McGregor needs to look lively as he kicks away a low shot from Hatem Elhamed at his near post. Celtic work the ball back into the danger zone and the Rangers keeper again uses his foot to stop a strike from Christopher Jullien. Top work from the veteran there...
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
Allan McGregor needs to watch it all the way as a shot from Olivier Ntcham takes a high deflection and loops on to the top of the net.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic (12:00)
Moritz Bauer has stepped in at right-back, with Hatem Elhamed moving central after Nir Bitton's departure.
The Austrian defender has only had a couple of training sessions with Celtic and now he's thrown into the deep end as Rangers press and press for an equaliser.
Sounds like a mission that might make indestructible government agent Jack Bauer think twice.
Beep, beep, beep...
