Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Celtic Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Celtic FC and Rangers FC.
  • 5' The Japan midfielder Reo Hatate breaks the deadlock on 5 minutes. 1-0!
  • 10' It looks surprising Celtic FC does not make any changes. James Tavernier has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Celtic FC and Rangers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 22' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Callum McGregor.
  • 27' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Celtic FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 37' Both keepers have barely been tested. Celtic FC and Rangers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 42' Reo Hatate does the damage! The net is bulging and Celtic FC surge ahead!
  • 44' A stunning finish from Liel Abada — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 46' Rangers FC ring the changes. Borna Barisic has done his job and it is now time for Ryan Jack to step up.
  • 51' Josip Juranovic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Rangers FC so far.
  • 52' Calvin Bassey picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 57' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 62' Fresh legs for Celtic FC! James Forrest comes on to replace Giorgos Giakoumakis.
  • 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
  • 72' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ismaila Soro suffering a number of foals already.
  • 73' The Celtic FC manager makes a substitution. Reo Hatate departs to be replaced by James McCarthy.
  • 75' Poor challenge from James Tavernier. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 76' A meaty challenge results in booking for Leon Balogun on 76.
  • 81' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 86' Allan McGregor, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 88' Time for substitution for Celtic FC. Jota is replaced by Ben Doak.
  • 90' Ben Doak catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
  • The points are shared — Celtic FC 3-0 Rangers FC. Honours even.
