Celtic vs Rangers LIVE!

Celtic took a huge step towards another Scottish Premiership title by seeing off Rangers in a thrilling Old Firm derby on Saturday. Matt O’Riley opened the scoring for the hosts at Parkhead with a brilliant low first-half strike, before the lead was quickly doubled after an unfortunate own goal from John Lundstram.

Cyriel Dessers’ close-range header mere seconds later halved the deficit for Rangers, who lost Lundstram on the stroke of half-time when his yellow card for a wild sliding challenge on Alistair Johnston was upgraded to red by referee Willie Collum after the VAR had sent him to consult the pitchside monitor.

Rangers managed to hold out for the entire second half despite their numerical disadvantage, playing their part in a grandstand finish after Jack Butland had saved O’Riley’s poor penalty and Celtic missed a host of chances as well as Daizen Maeda seeing two goals ruled out for offside. However, Celtic ultimately still prevailed to go six points clear of their fierce rivals with only two games left to play this season.

Such an absorbing finish at Celtic Park, with defenders up front for Rangers and Butland even going up for a corner after Yilmaz’s strike is blocked.

Celtic clear and counter with numbers, but Idah can’t hit the target!

Celtic just cannot finish this off as Idah is unable to test Butland with Maeda in the middle.

Rodgers is looking a bit nervous on the touchline.

Will all these missed chances come back to cost his side?

A huge chance for Idah to finish this game off, but he doesn’t anticipate the cross from Ralston and the ball bounces off him before being gathered by Butland.

Rangers send on Roofe for Dessers.
