Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Rangers FC and Celtic FC is underway.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Barry Ferguson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' Greg Taylor is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Celtic FC tonight.
  • 20' Belgium international Arne Engels has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 25' Rangers FC currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 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 Connor Barron suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' It’s high time Brendan Rodgers made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 44' Brilliant from the ! Cyriel Dessers makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 44.

  • 54' With 1 assists to his name this season, Nicolas Raskin is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Celtic FC.

  • 62' A quiet spell here at Ibrox Stadium. Celtic FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 67' It is a cagey affair so far. Rangers FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Celtic FC's compact 4-3-3.
  • 72' Anthony Ralston is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Celtic FC so far.
  • 77' Rangers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 79' The Celtic FC bench stirs into life. Greg Taylor is withdrawn and Jeffrey Schlupp gets his opportunity.
  • 83' Bailey Rice gets the nod from Rangers FC. He replaces Ianis Hagi and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 84' Barry Ferguson was booked on 84.
  • 88' A moment of madness from Bailey Rice on 88 minutes earns him a card. Rangers FC will be frustrated.
  • 90' That is a card for Celtic FC. Johnny Kenny will be fuming at that decision.
  • 90' Danilo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mohammed Diomande at the 90 minute mark.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
