It's Celtic's turn to squander a half chance as Jota flicks it through to Kyogo Furuhashi only for the striker to blast his effort wide of the near post from 15 yards.

Just for a moment it looks like Ryan Kent has found himself some space for a shot outside the Celtic penalty box.

However, the winger lashes his 18-yard drive wide.

Shots have goal have been few and far between, but Kyogo Furuhashi finds a wee bit of room on the edge of the penalty box.

However, the Japan striker's bending shot is wide of the upright.

There is very little in it. Celtic are playing quite well but letting themselves down in the final third a little bit.

Celtic hearts in mouths as Carl Starfelt has a wee swivel inside his own penalty box under pressure, but the centre-half gets away with it and sets up another attack.

If I was Michael Beale, I'd be concerned about Aaron Mooy. He's causing a real threat to Rangers' backline.

It's a good defensive position, his body is right in the block. He's stretching with every centimetre of his body.

The closest Rangers have come.

James Tavernier's low ball into the six-yard box is diverted just wide of the post by centre-half Cameron Carter-Vickers as the Celtic man's toes are to it quicker than Rangers winger Fashion Sakala.

Allan McGregor’s last appearance at the national stadium was the briefest of cameos at the end of extra time in April’s Scottish Cup final, when it looked like he was waving his goodbyes.

Nine months later, the 41-year-old goalkeeper is in the thick of the action, making big saves.

A dash behind the Celtic defence and Fashion Sakala wins his side's second corner, but it flies off Rangers defender Ben Davies' head and wide at the back post.

Celtic never switch off. Kyogo will go in behind no problem at all. He knows McGregor got a touch there.

Allan McGregor must have got a hand to the ball, but what crucial saves they are.

Allan McGregor to Rangers' rescue again.

The veteran goalkeeper comes out to block at the feet of striker Kyogo Furuhashi inside the penalty box and, when it breaks out for Jota, McGregor is down well to save the winger's low drive one-handed.

Celtic are beginning to get the upper hand and Aaron Mooy plays a clever ball wide for Jota inside the Rangers penalty box.

However, the striker's attempt at a volley with the outside of his foot is easy for goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

At the other end, striker Alfredo Morelos has a shot blocked on the turn.

The game has been predictable, Celtic working the ball in possession with short passes and Rangers working hard and trying to use the set-pieces they earn.

Celtic-supporting rock star Rod Stewart is wondering whose first cut will be the deepest at Hampden.

I'm looking already at a couple of players in the middle of the pitch. Their mouths are open. This fixture is breathless at the start. It takes you 15 minutes before you start to relax.

It looks like Rangers have messed up their corner, but John Lundstram has a shot blocked in front of goal and team-mate Ryan Kent blasts his effort wide.

Rangers win the first corner of the game as a breathless start to the game begins to settle.
