Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Celtic FC and Rangers FC is underway.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 414 games and scored 807 goals.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' Celtic FC are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Rangers FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 20' Celtic FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 25' Rangers FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ryan Naderi scoring 1 goals.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 35' Magnificent from Matt O'Riley! That is 38 goals in 351 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 38' Goal! John Lundstram scores his 18 goal in 381 matches.
  • 39' Celtic FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 40' The deadlock is broken! Cyriel Dessers gets on the scoresheet on 40 minutes.
  • 45' John Lundstram was booked on 45.
  • 46' Ross McCausland is ready to make an impact after coming on for John Souttar at the 46 minute mark.
  • 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Rangers FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 56' The home supporters are growing impatient. Celtic FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 61' Another change for Rangers FC made on 61 minute. Kyogo Furuhashi leaves to be changed by Ridvan Yilmaz.
  • 66' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 71' Controversy at the stadium! Callum McGregor argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 71' Adam Idah gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces James Forrest and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 72' Nicolas Kuhn is replacing Alistair Johnston for the Celtic FC side.
  • 74' Anthony Ralston is replacing Fabio Silva for the Celtic FC side.
  • 79' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 80' Cyriel Dessers makes way for Tomoki Iwata at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Celtic FC.
  • 85' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' With 4 assists to his name this season, Fabio Silva is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Celtic FC.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
