Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Rangers FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Steven Davis made 348 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Neil Lennon might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' The 27-year-old David Turnbull has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' Rangers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Rangers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 30' 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 Joe Aribo suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' Rangers 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.
- 39' The referee shows Rangers FC player a Yellow card on 39.
- 41' It’s a booking for Celtic FC player. Ismaila Soro gets a Yellow card.
- 46' The Rangers FC bench stirs into life. Kemar Roofe is withdrawn and Ianis Hagi gets his opportunity.
- 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 56' Allan McGregor has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 61' Rangers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Celtic FC backline.
- 62' A moment of madness from Nir Bitton on 62 minutes earns him a Red card. Celtic FC will be frustrated.
- 65' The Celtic FC bench stirs into life. Leigh Griffiths is withdrawn and Shane Duffy gets his opportunity.
- 70' GOAL! Callum McGregor scores on 70.
- 72' It is a substitution in Celtic FC team. Ismaila Soro is replaced by Scott Brown on 72 minute.
- 73' Hatem Abd Elhamed has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryan Christie on 73 minute.
- 75' Shane Duffy was booked on 75.
- 77' Fresh legs for Rangers FC! Cedric Itten comes on to replace Alfredo Morelos.
- 79' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Borna Barisic on 79 minutes.
- 84' The Celtic FC manager makes a substitution. Callum McGregor departs to be replaced by Tom Rogic.
- 87' Time for substitution for Rangers FC. Ryan Kent is replaced by Bongani Zungu.
- 90' A change in the Rangers FC ranks — Joe Aribo exits the field as Brandon Barker enters on 90.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Rangers FC 1-0 Celtic FC.
