    GOAL St Johnstone 0-3 Rangerspublished at 88 mins

    Jermain Defoe

    Confusion reigns at McDiarmid Park. Not one but two Steven Davis goal-line clearances but the second appears to have been done with the ball over the line.

    However, neither referee Andrew Dallas nor his assistant signal a goal. Rangers launch a lightning counter and substitute Jermain Defoe scores Rangers' third.

  2. Defoe chancepublished at 85 mins

    St Johnstone 0-2 Rangers

    Rangers substitute Jermain Defoe blazes an effort high over the bar after being teed up by James Tavernier. The striker's volley has more chance of taking out a fan's pie & bovril behind the goal than testing the frazzled Zander Clark.

    The hardest thing in football is figuring out how to pick up from a poor performance. Well Rangers have done that today in the second half. They had to.

    A big part of Rangers performance has come down that right-hand side. Just look at how many crosses James Tavernier has had in the second half and measure that against the ones he didn't have in the first half.

  7. Defoe on for Morelospublished at 79 mins

    St Johnstone 0-2 Rangers

    Alfredo Morelos's work is done. The Colombian striker receives a standing ovation from the visiting supporters as he's replaced by Jermain Defoe.

    Considering the way St Johnstone are lined up and the space they're leaving on the pitch, you would imagine Jermain Defoe would finish anything that comes his way.

  9. HALF-TIME Celtic 1-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 13:50

    Celtic have dominated, but they head up the tunnel relieved to be back on level terms.

    Eamonn Brophy stunned Celtic Park with the opening goal totally against the run of play, firing home from the edge of the box just past the half-hour mark.

    The visitors couldn't hang on, though, as Celtic's pressure finally told when Odsonne Edouard headed home a James Forrest cross just before the break.

    There's a real desire about Rangers now. The first goal has energised them. A perfect reaction after a poor first half. Everything is a little bit quicker and it has put St Johnstone under real pressure.

  13. Rangers in controlpublished at 70 mins

    St Johnstone 0-2 Rangers

    The visitors are cruising to victory in Perth in what's now proving to be essentially one-way traffic at McDiarmid Park.

    For St Johnstone, the opening 45 minutes, where they matched Rangers, must seem like a distant memory.

    Rangers lead courtesy of Alfredo Morelos and Connor Goldson.

  14. CLOSE!published at 13:44 British Summer Time 22 September 2019

    Celtic 0-1 Kilmarnock

    Celtic inches away from levelling. Ryan Christie sends a free-kick into the Killie box, Kristoffer Ajer sticks out a leg to help the ball on and it drifts just the wrong side of the upright.

  15. Hoops try to hit backpublished at 13:42 British Summer Time 22 September 2019

    Celtic 0-1 Kilmarnock

    A real test of Celtic's mettle now. They've been dominant but left reeling by the sucker-punch Killie opener. Odsonne Edouard heads over from a deep Callum McGregor cross as the champions attempt to find a quick equaliser.

    Rangers are threatening to run riot to be perfectly honest with you. They're all over the top of St Johnstone.

    Rangers are in the mood for more goals in Perth: substitute Scott Arfield goes close to a third goal for the visitors before Joe Aribo sees his effort come back off the bar.

    GOAL Celtic 0-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 32 mins

    Eamonn Brophy

    Out of nowhere Kilmarnock are ahead. Eamonn Brophy has three defenders for company on the edge of the box, but tries his luck and the ball seems to take a nick off Kristoffer Ajer as it loops over Fraser Forster and into the net.
