    Celtic had two show a different side today. Both centre-backs were very, very good. They had to hang in there. They kept them in the game, because Rangers dominated second half.

  3. Jota brings joypublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 30 April 2023

    FT: Rangers 0-1 Celtic

    Having extended their unbeaten run against Rangers to six games, Ange Postecoglou's side will be strong favourites against the second-tier side who eased aside Falkirk yesterday.

    Rangers have done as much as they could in the second half to get back level, but it's not good enough.

    Joe Hart was busier in the second half, but Rangers could not find the equaliser

  5. FULL-TIME Rangers 0-1 Celticpublished at 15:27 British Summer Time 30 April 2023

    Celtic are through to the Scottish Cup final, where they will face Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 3 June.

    Holders Rangers are out, unable to repeat their victory over their city rivals of a year ago at this stage.

    Rangers' season is effectively over, with Celtic one win away from a league title and one win away from a domestic treble thanks to Jota's first-half winner.

    Anthony Ralston collapses theatrically inside his own penalty box.

    Celtic are playing the ball about deep in Rangers' half.

    They just want to deny their opponents possession.

    Rangers 0-1 Celtic

    Celtic are having to hold on a bit here, but Rangers can't make the pressure count inside the penalty box.

    South Korea striker Oh Hyeon-gyu is on for a tiring Kyogo up front for Celtic.

    So close to an equaliser.

    Scott Arfield wraps his foot around the ball at the edge of the penalty box, but the midfielder's curling drive is just high and wide.

    These are big moments for Rangers, but they haven't been able to put the ball in the back of the net. They lack that player that Celtic have to step up and do so.

    Rangers 0-1 Celtic

    Nearly another self-inflicted wound in Rangers' defence.

    Connor Goldson dallies as he chests down a cross, but the centre-half did well to recover to block as Daizen Maeda fires over from close range.

    From the corner, it looks like Ben Davies heads over the crossbar, but a goal kick is given.

    Even people in the posh seats are on their feet, peering through the gloom as the minutes tick by and the tension rises.

    Not a lot of flowing football, but both sets of players are using up every ounce of energy as the rain gets heavier.

    It's a brilliant stop from Hart. He pushes it away from Arfield.

    Celtic are having to defend desperately and goalkeeper Joe Hart gets his hand to a dangerous cross.
