  1. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Liel Abada now has five goals in his last five Premiership games.

    The Israeli winger is only 20 and he's keeping the likes of Daizen Maeda and James Forrest out of the team.

  2. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    John Lundstram is leaning back as he has a blast from 25 yards. Merry jeers from the home fans as his shot sails high over the target.

  3. 'O'Riley influential for Celtic'

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    At the moment, Celtic are very impressive going forward. Matt O'Riley in particular has grown and grown as a player.

  4. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Another cracker of a cross from Borna Barisic and this time Greg Taylor is able to stoop and head clear for Celtic.

  5. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    A graphic from broadcasters Sky Sports highlights the almighty task for Rangers.

  6. 'It's right on his head'

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    I don't know if Colak will get an easier chance than that. It's easier than Giakoumakis' chance. It's right on his head, he just needs to put it on target.

  7. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    And now Rangers spurn a great chance as Borna Barisic pings in a beauty of a delivery from the left for Antonio Colak to attack.

    Just like Georgios Giakoumakis a few moments ago, the striker can't get a firm nod on it and the ball is glanced wide.

  8. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    James Sands does really well to knock the ball away inside his own six yard box as Jota tries to slide a cross into the path of Georgios Giakoumakis.

  9. YELLOW CARD

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Borna Barisic is cautioned for pulling back Liel Abada as the Celtic winger skips past him.

  10. 'Giakoumakis must score'

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    Giakoumakis must score. It's the chance he would have been dreaming of last night.

  11. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Matt O'Riley is involved again, floating in a lovely cross for Georgios Giakoumakis to attack. The striker is just five yards out by can only make a glancing contact and can't hit the target.

  12. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Celtic continue to flood forward and Matt O'Riley has a crack, with his shot deflected wide by John Lundstram.

  13. 'Celtic like wolves'

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It's the intensity when Celtic lose the ball... They're on you like a pack of wolves!

  14. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Now Rangers midfielder John Lundstram is going off the pitch after a challenge with Georgios Giakoumakis, but he's going to be coming straight back on.

  15. PENALTY APPEAL

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Celtic Park erupts with fans screaming for a spot-kick as Liel Abada goes down with Ryan Kent as his heels. It looks a bit clumsy but referee Nick Walsh had a good view and doesn't flinch.

  16. Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Georgios Giakoumakis flattens James Sands as he chases down a ball over the top. The Celtic forward reckons it's shoulder-to-shoulder, but the officials don't see it that way.

  17. 'Great anticipation from Abada'

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    Abada has justified his selection straight away. Great goal-scoring form, he's hungry to get into that area - it's almost identical to the area where he scored in the 3-0 game last season. He anticipates where the ball is going to go and it's a wonderful finish.

  18. 'Rangers players sleeping'

    Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    That goal came from the speed of thought of the throw-in. The Rangers players were sleeping. Great start for Celtic.

    GOAL Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Liel Abada

    Well, Celtic aren't feeling sorry for themselves after the loss of Kyogo as Jota flings in a quick throw-in and a stretching Matt O'Riley helps the ball into the penalty area. A deflection takes the ball into the path of Liel Abada and his low shot creeps into the net as Jon McLauchlin gets a hand to it but fails to keep the ball out.

  20. 'Giakoumakis gives Celtic physical presence'

    Celtic 0-0 Rangers

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    With Giakoumakis, it gives them a real physical presence up there. We've talked about the left side of the Rangers defence. In particular, Giakoumakis would fancy himself up against Sands. Celtic need to get the ball into him. It's a different threat up front.
