    A change in defence for Rangers as Leon Balogun steps in for Connor Goldson, who must have picked up a knock.

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers and Celtic striker on Sky Sports

    He scored one like this last week against Hibs, this time it's even better.

    Really poor defending. Take nothing away from the finish, though.

  3. 'Brilliant from Matondo'published at 13:55 British Summer Time 7 April

    Chris Sutton
    Former Celtic striker on Sky Sports

    What a ridiculous game.

    That is brilliant from Matondo, but I can't believe Yang lets him inside.

    Wonderful finish. Joe Hart, no chance.

    What else can this game give us?

    Rabbi Matondo

    What a strike!

    It's a carbon copy of the goal he got last weekend against Hibs as Rabbi Matondo cuts inside from the left and curls a beauty into the far corner of the net.

    It's a great quick shift with pace on the shot. Great feet by Idah after a wonderful pass.

    Rangers 2-2 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Well, well, well. Quite incredible.

    Bernardo has all the space in the world to drive forward, he picks out the telling pass into Adam Idah's feet. He's allowed to turn and get his shot away through two players.

    Adam Idah

    This game is nuts!

    Adam Idah gets Celtic back in front almost immediately as he fizzes in a low shot from just inside the penalty area and it goes under the diving Jack Butland.

    The Rangers goalkeeper won't want to see that again.

  9. 'McGregor at fault'published at 13:47 British Summer Time 7 April

    Rangers 2-2 Celtic

    Chris Sutton
    Former Celtic striker on Sky Sports

    It's a terrible ball from Callum McGregor and Rangers are onto it.

    Sima strikes it cleanly, though it takes a wicked deflection.

    Abdallah Sima

    Callum McGregor is guilty of giving the ball away and Rangers take full advantage.

    A Rabbi Matondo effort is blocked but Abdallah Sima follows up with a crashing shot that takes a big deflection off defender Liam Scales.

  11. 'A much-improved Rangers'published at 13:43 British Summer Time 7 April

    Rangers 1-2 Celtic

    Kheredine Idessane
    BBC Scotland at Ibrox

    Rangers look like a different side since the break, getting much closer to Celtic in the middle of the park. Sima is causing problems, giving Taylor plenty to think about.

    These last 10 minutes are huge, you feel, in the context of the title race. Can the home side find a late equaliser? It's eerily calm at the moment as the Rangers fans bite their nails...

    Paolo Bernardo gets a taste of the action, taking over from Matt O'Riley, scorer of Celtic's second goal.

    Adam Idah does so well to get away from Connor Goldson but then goes alone rather than pick a pass and the chance is gone for Celtic.

  16. Unstoppable from Tavernierpublished at 13:34 British Summer Time 7 April

    Rangers 1-2 Celtic

    That was a 16th league goal for James Tavernier, matching the Rangers skipper's tally for last season.

    It was a hell of a hit too, fired right into the top corner.

    The message for Rangers now is as soon as Callum McGregor gets on the ball, someone get on him, try and win it back and win it high.
