    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    Prior to that close shave for Celtic, captain Callum McGregor was booked. I think it was trying to clip the heels of Ryan Kent in an earlier Rangers attack or it might have been for complaining about a challenge from Joe Aribo...

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 40 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    So close to the opener for Rangers as John Lundstram curls a cracking shot against the post from 20 yards.

    It looks like Aaron Ramsey is going to finish off from the rebound but Cameron Carter-Vickers lunges in to make a vital block.

    The positional play of Rangers has been excellent. Ramsey is almost an inside-right, stopping Taylor getting on the ball. Aribo is high up on McGregor, stopping him influencing the game. The game has been too quick for Tom Rogic so far.

    So good from McGregor. He pulls people so close. Joe Aribo does nothing but pull his jersey two or three times. Correct decision.

    The first booking of the day goes the way of Joe Aribo as the Rangers midfielder grapples Celtic captain Callum McGregor to the turf, using both arms to haul him down.

    What a chance. I could see Barisic like a train on the overlap to stand it up. I could see Aribo arriving like a train as well but he got no power on it whatsoever.

    Borna Barisic stands up a nice cross inside the Celtic penalty area and Kemar Roofe gets a header on target, only for Carl Starfelt to nod clear in front of goalkeeper Joe Hart.

    Rangers recycle the ball and Joe Aribo arrives with a powerful run but can't get much on his header.

    It's been Rangers' game so far. Celtic are really struggling to make an impression. They haven't got going with their free flowing football at all.

    Another Rangers corner as a James Tavernier free-kick clips a Celtic head. Again, the defence prevails without much fuss.

    Aaron Ramsey takes the free-kick and it's a shocker; blazed well over the target from 22 yards.

    Kemar Roofe topples under pressure near the edge of the box. Free-kick to Rangers in a central position...

    Celtic are the best in the country at slipping those little balls in behind because they've got so many players that are quick. So far, Rangers have coped well.

    The tempo has been incredible from both sides and you've got to say fair play to Rangers. They haven't shown that leggyness that you'd expect. The game is very quick at the moment and hasn't settled down into any sort of rhythm. It's just two teams going at each other.

    Liel Abada pops up on the right this time and bamboozles Borna Barisic with a couple of stepovers before dragging his near post shot wide.

  15. Postpublished at 23 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    Liel Abada steals in behind the Rangers defence to reach a lovely pass from Jota, but James Tavernier gets back to thwart the winger, conceding a corner.

    The set-piece comes to nothing.

    Another Rangers corner as Josip Juaranovic heads away a teasing cross from James Tavernier. The delivery is too high for John Lundstram at the back post though.

  17. Postpublished at 19 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    Daizen Maeda just never stops running and here he is charging down an attempted clearance from Connor Goldson and the Rangers defender needs to look lively to recover the situation with a sliding tackle near the byeline.

  18. Postpublished at 16 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    Daizen Maeda attempts a kind of spinning, back-heel flick from near the edge of the penalty area and the Celtic striker's unorthodox effort is not too far away, although goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin doesn't look overly concerned.

  19. 'Postecoglou not impressed'published at 14:16 British Summer Time 17 April 2022

    Ange Postecoglou is shaking his head on the touchline. I don't think he's impressed at his side's ball retention so far.

    What a noise in here though, tackles being hoarsely bellowed at from all directions. Passion.

    This has been breathless. Rangers don't look leggy. They're getting a lift from how they've crunched into tackles.
