    Another chance for Celtic to settle it.

    Sead Hakšabanović drives in behind the Rangers defence. He is one on one with Allan McGregor, but the winger fires wide of the goalkeeper and the far post.

    Rangers need to take some amount of risk here. They need to get bodies up with Colak.

  12. YELLOW CARD Kent (Rangers)published at 89mins

    Rangers 1-2 Celtic

    Ryan Kent goes sliding into Celtic substitute Tomoki Iwata and the winger goes into the referee's book.

    It looks like Nick Walsh has flashed about three other yellow cards as the players react angrily. I'll leave others to sort all that out!

    Rangers 1-2 Celtic

    Sead Haksabanovic teases the Rangers defence and when the winger's drive is blocked superbly by goalkeeper Allan McGregor, he goes down seeking a spot kick.

    A lot of players have struggled to control the ball, meaning the game hasn't flowed the way it usually does.

    Could Rangers have blown their last chance?

    Antonio Colak and Croatia colleague Borna Barisic both allow a low ball into penalty box run through their legs.

    There are no complaints from Liel Abada - a deserved yellow card.
