Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Celtic FC and Rangers FC is underway.
  • 4' The Belgium Nicolas Raskin breaks the deadlock on 4 minutes. 0-1!
  • 9' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 9 minutes.
  • 14' 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 Vaclav Cerny suffering a number of foals already.
  • 19' With 0 assists to his name this season, Robin Propper is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Celtic FC.
  • 24' Daizen Maeda is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Celtic FC tonight.
  • 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Tavernier made 413 appearances and scored 108 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 34' That is a card for Rangers FC. Dujon Sterling will be fuming at that decision.
  • 37' Assisted by Nicolas Raskin with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mohammed Diomande makes no mistake. 0-2!
  • 42' Barry Ferguson has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 42.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Celtic FC! Adam Idah comes on to replace Nicolas Kuhn.
  • 49' Magnificent from Daizen Maeda! That is 85 goals in 34 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 54' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 413 games and scored 805 goals.
  • 56' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Leon Balogun by Robin Propper on 56 minute.
  • 61' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 66' It is a substitution in Rangers FC team. Mohammed Diomande is replaced by Ianis Hagi on 66 minute.
  • 70' The Celtic FC bench stirs into life. Jota is withdrawn and Hyun-jun Yang gets his opportunity.
  • 74' Reo Hatate doubles the advantage! 2-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 74' Robin Propper was booked on 74.
  • 77' A moment of madness from Ianis Hagi on 77 minutes earns him a card. Rangers FC will be frustrated.
  • 82' Clinton Nsiala-Makengo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dujon Sterling on 82 minute.
  • 87' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Barry Ferguson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 88' Brilliant from the ! Hamza Igamane makes it 2-3 with a superb finish on 88.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Celtic FC 2-3 Rangers FC.
