00:00Barron, Cherny with a flick, by Rami, James Forrest stepped in front of Raskan,
00:12I was told he was fouled, Cherny, skirting a couple of challenges, Jifti now, Cherny,
00:30for Diolande, Rangers looking for a reward for their early efforts,
00:41Jifti's cross is comfortably cleared by Cardo Vickers, but here's Raskan,
00:49Barron, he started brilliantly with Conor Barron, absolutely brilliant,
00:53in the middle of the pitch picking up a lot of second balls here,
01:00and only five of the last 107, last time it happened, was here, back in 2019,
01:18and only five of the last 107, last time it happened, was here, back in 2019,
01:292022, when Cameron Carter Vickers scored a winner, for Celtic,
01:41Taylor,
01:44Atate,
01:47R�sston,
01:55is no foul by Dettis,
02:00to put his body in, R�sston drew the foul,
02:04here's Forrest
02:15for Ralston
02:17McGregor
02:34Engels got there ahead of the queue Forrest
02:54Rangers have scored three goals against Celtic in each of the last three derbies
03:04again
03:09Greg Taylor
03:23Count Ivica's looking for somewhere to go Engels in a bit of space here
03:30wasn't part of the Rangers plan
03:32Maida it's Adamida
03:34smuffed out by John Suter
03:38Celtic are coming back for more Forrest
03:44Ralston
03:48too easy there scott wasn't it for Celtic three of the Rangers midfielders he went with
03:54Hitate and Engels just ran on the outside there to feed the ball into Daze and Maida
04:00yeah the club of players are clever players you can see them sussing this out yeah but the full backs as I
04:04says I don't think you need to invert so much and I saw you see Greg Taylor running in
04:08here I think he just needs to stay waiting but it's a chairman here and then this is going to be the ball
04:14nobody's getting out of the Rangers point of view it's going to be a big problem going forward this
04:18Ralston
04:22decides to deliver himself and Suter had to
04:26take it away from Eda
04:28it's a good touch from Suter Ralston actually hesitant to to put the ball in eventually did
04:34the worst ball and Suter had to be alert
04:43and they pinch that off Hitate
04:46that's why Chilney's run comes to an abrupt end
04:50so
04:54Carter Vickers
04:55over the top
04:56looking for Maida
04:58Liam Kelly
04:59the flank's gone up for offside actually so
05:01it wouldn't have mattered
05:06this was
05:07the earlier
05:08Daze and Maida
05:10good early ball to Eda
05:13little shift there
05:14score didn't he in the moral victory
05:16derby game a good block
05:18a good block
05:37Ralston
05:39Engles
05:41James Forrest
05:42rolling back the years with that run
05:44and then Kelly will comfortably plant
05:49I think he took the wrong option there
05:51I think he's got the legs on Balogun
05:53and that he just chopped inside himself there James Forrest
05:56good charge there
05:57giving away the free kick
05:58nice cannon on the receiver
05:59there James Forrest
06:00there James Forrest
06:01there James Forrest
06:02good charge there
06:03good charge there
06:05giving away the free kick
06:07I think he did a lot wrong there Scott really
06:18ball was there to be won and that's one of those where
06:21Raskin's trying to
06:23Raskin's trying to make it and compete
06:25coming together of the two Belgians
06:30meets really
06:34just like us two big mana
06:46just like us two big mana
06:51Just let us to a big man out.
07:05Not a vickers!
07:08Just pipped to it by Sinisalo, but there were a few oohs and ahs around that moment.
07:16Hand up in recognition, he made an error there, blind pass.
07:21Well, it's all brewing up nicely, but it's still 0-0 with almost 20 minutes played at Ibrox.
07:51Yeah.
08:02Tavernier.
08:07Allegan.
08:10Diamande survived attention from Forrest.
08:14Shefty got crowded out, no foul.
08:19McGregor tossed him to pick out that pass.
08:21Forrest across now and Suter has to put it behind for a corner.
08:24And Suter alert, once again.
08:28James Forrest, good quick ball from McGregor.
08:32He's looking for Daz and Maida who I think have been offside.
08:36Canterbeckers and William Scales have come up for this, obviously.
08:49Angle's whipping it in, Scales got something on it, but it's veered away from its intended target.
09:05And that's a good point.
09:13I'll tell you that.
09:16That's a look as Taylor.
09:36It's those two again.
09:40Gregorio's not having Niko or Ashgall.
09:42And vice versa, I suspect.
09:54Of course, we'll have to have a word.
10:00I think Callum McGregor was just asking for a yellow card for the referee there.
10:04I thought it was going to be an attack for Celtic.
10:07And they're still at it.
10:09It just asks you to see it a little bit, doesn't it?
10:15Not part of the phone.
10:25Greg Taylor.
10:28Tavenier lost it.
10:31Two mid-up.
10:33Balogun clears.
10:35Rami.
10:36Diamande.
10:39Scales missed that long and...
10:41Had to pop it out of play.
10:42We're churning nearby.
10:43Analogun comes in from
10:45In terms of율.
10:47Shang.
10:49I think we were able to northиться here.
11:21forward, which is a threat from their set plays, it's needless.
11:51It's another show of difference from Rangers, saving their best for the old firm, what's
12:15going on?
12:16I think it's too early.
12:17Gets up brilliantly, doesn't it?
12:18It directs the header down.
12:22Marcin Atalo.
12:23I just wonder whether he just goes slightly early.
12:25Well, they are drawing the lines for offside.
12:29And there's going to be an anxious wait now to see if this is ruled out.
12:36Andrew Dallas on VAR is thwarting the lines.
12:37Will another derby header from Nico Raskan stand or will it be ruled out for offside?
12:43Ibrox and the watching world waits to hear.
12:44Well, there's so many bodies in there.
12:45Looks like he has made the run slightly early, but we can't see all the boots, Ian, from the
12:52angle we saw.
12:53Maybe there was a Celtic boot in there somewhere playing him onside.
12:55Well, this could take a while.
12:56Will we wait to hear the boots here?
13:04last run from Dan trail,ας roading the lines.
13:13see all the boots ian from the angle we saw maybe there was a celtic boot in there somewhere playing
13:19him onside well this could take a while and we wait to hear the verdict incredible noise inside
13:28eyebrows when the goal went in no change there the verdict is it's not going to stand it's going to
13:39be given as offside and it will be no goal for rangers and we are back to nil nil
13:57just goes see there slightly earlier you could say good line from celtic but from a celtic
14:03perspective scott they've seen how good he is in the air raskin how many warnings do they need
14:10i'll tell you what exactly that's exactly what it is it's another threat it's another threat for this
14:14rangers team and set plays celtic are going to need to understand that but you have to say it was a
14:19wonderful line from them there it takes about a bottle on the 18 yarder just to keep your to keep
14:24your distances keep your line so you have to say if a celtic point of view it's fantastic but again
14:29nico raskin is going to be some threat going forward in this game
14:38well he's become such a pivotal player for them and he thought he had repeated his
14:44feet at celtic park but it wasn't to be by the finest of margins
14:53margins that always seem even finer on derby day in glasgow
14:59in glasgow
15:08hydrox most of it anyway feeling rather flattened by that
15:21boris
15:21taking out by diamante this could be a promising free kick for celtic
15:30now
15:32just with a
15:33to the chance didn't he with a little flick there
15:36whilst it was on to him
15:46a little bit of some of this fixture of celtic win and pop one in here
15:56rangers having had one disallowed for offside
16:00to figures and scales
16:07and edu
16:08hoping to make contact
16:13engels
16:14engels
16:16front kick was one of his worst
16:20he's got to test this until
16:23he's got to test this until he had no
16:25few handball shouts from the crowd
16:27i can't imagine cameron carter vickers and liam scales going up but
16:40overly enamored with
16:43free kick
16:44total waste
16:47total waste
16:49engels
16:49who has now found forest
16:55to Vickers, Ingles, Connevarin in the way, Ashton shrugs off McGregor and Taylor, and now the free kick will be given, a winning, and he could ask him, exactly ask him what Callum McGregor was asking five minutes before, he does brilliantly doesn't he, to ride these two challengers,
17:25I think McGregor is fortunate, he's trying to be cynical there, we all would have done the same, Greg Taylor, great play again,
17:41two number eights in the Rangers point of view, they need to overload, they need to play, when you go over the top, Celtic are consistent in their shape, you need to move them and move them when you've got overload in the middle of the pitch,
17:55for now, into this derby, and as usual, it seems to have flown by, Tavernier, Diamande,
18:11Baron,
18:11Tcherny, nearly picked out Raskan, it bounced off Ingles and it would be a Rangers corner, Tcherny, has that ability where, they just drift around and take a pass,
18:40take a pass, here we go again,
18:55and just turn to ask a question, and there are always big questions in these derbies, will some to have an answer, to this corner?
19:06Walsh is getting checked on Amande, and Ingles,
19:13Imande keeping an eye on that, and a few other things,
19:22Tavernier sending it in, an important header away from Cameron Carter-Vickers, Forrest.
19:35I was going to say the ball is superb from Tavernier, Carter-Vickers does brilliantly.
19:47Rosten advancing, over to Maida, Chesty's actually trying to keep him occupied, which is never easy.
20:14And now, it's Celtic's turn for another corner, end to end. Corner to corner.
20:23That's all of Tavernier, he's running back towards his own goal, to get that right.
20:41Rangers turn to be worried as they focus on this corner. Engels sending it in, Carter-Vickers.
20:50And a swift reaction again, this time from Kelly.
20:55I've seen that, I thought they had the binders.
21:08A bit of both.
21:09And Kelly has Adam Ida upon him.
21:18That's another Celtic corner, they came close that time.
21:25Can they come closer this time? Engels in, Carter-Vickers again!
21:32Free kick is given.
21:36It just shows you to us how important set players are in other game, and it.
21:41Absolutely.
21:42I mean, this...
21:44That is a corner off, isn't it?
21:47The outsides had opportunities.
21:52The Vickers gets up early, doesn't allow Suter to jump.
21:55There's a Rodgers.
22:07He's won 16 out of 22 Old Firm games, but...
22:12He's lost his last two.
22:14Neil Lennon did lose three in a row in his second spelling chart.
22:17Sorry for mentioning that, Neil.
22:19He'll let me know about that one day.
22:21One day?
22:22Well, maybe this afternoon.
22:45Scales.
22:46Up towards Ida and Suter.
22:51Myda.
22:54Stumbled.
22:56Raskan on to it.
23:00By Rami.
23:03Selesalo just stopped it from reaching Desus.
23:14Forrest.
23:18Ida.
23:21Slipped as he took that on and...
23:23Somebody's on to it.
23:24I don't know whether it's me or whether...
23:25Yefti seems just a little bit half-hearted.
23:26The Rangers left-back.
23:27You're spot on.
23:28I'm watching Barry Ferguson for the last 10-15 minutes screaming at Yefti.
23:30He genuinely believes it is miles off this game at a minute in time.
23:31I don't know whether it's me or whether...
23:32I don't know whether it's me or whether...
23:33I don't know whether it's me or whether...
23:35Yefti seems just a little bit half-hearted.
23:38The Rangers left-back.
23:39You're spot on.
23:40I'm watching Barry Ferguson for the last 10-15 minutes screaming at Yefti.
23:43He genuinely believes it is miles off this game at a minute in time.
23:44I'm watching Barry Ferguson for the last 10-15 minutes screaming at Yefti.
23:45He genuinely believes it is miles off this game at a minute in time.
23:50He also gave it a minute in time.
23:59Donna Barron.
24:00Intercepts again.
24:09And Taylor.
24:12Stopped close to Chourney there and...
24:14Taylor has it back now.
24:17Maida.
24:20Tate.
24:23Maida.
24:28Sitter in the way of that.
24:30Ingles and Raskan at each other again.
24:33Ralston.
24:37Ingles out wide now.
24:40Forrest.
24:41Raskan.
24:51It's over the head of Ida.
24:53And Liam Kelly comes to play it.
24:56Might have hurt himself in the process.
24:58The collision with Tavernier.
24:59Keep his eyes on the ball.
25:00Greg Taylor, I think, was asking for a foul here.
25:02Diamandé.
25:03Little pullback.
25:04Not so sure there was enough contact really to go down in that fashion, Scott.
25:17I'm with you.
25:18I'm with you.
25:19I'm with you.
25:20Always makes me laugh that though.
25:22See when you get a tug of one way and you fall in a different way.
25:23How does it happen?
25:24How does it happen?
25:25How does it happen?
25:26The former, briefly, Aberdeen manager, Neil Warnock, watching the game.
25:28And Aberdeen come here next Sunday, live on Sky Sports Football.
25:30Probably 11 o'clock.
25:31Neil probably will be pushing himself in the Rangers job as well.
25:33He'll be surprised.
25:34Don't like it.
25:35Wait, what is that? What is that happening?
25:40Former, briefly, Aberdeen manager, Neil Warnock, watching the game.
25:45And Aberdeen come here next Sunday, live on Sky Sports Football.
25:48Probably 11 o'clock. Neil probably pushing himself for the Rangers job as well.
25:52He'll be surprised.
25:58I'd like to be an element of truth in there.
26:02He'd certainly fancy it.
26:05Raskin screening it, but Ida charging in, and Forrest picks up the scraps.
26:29Looking for Maida, but Jephti did get to that.
26:33And now Tierney.
26:36Barami.
26:39And that's a pass too for Diamande.
26:41Des is in the middle.
26:42Others arriving on the scene.
26:44And another corner.
26:47That's it. That is the game for Rangers there.
26:49You need to find the overall goal.
26:52You have to be concise with the pass.
26:54You need to play it. You need to commit to it.
26:56That is where you go.
26:57That is where you're going.
27:04That's what.
27:05Cherney will take this.
27:10The usual suspects are waiting.
27:13In by Cherney and away by Callum McGregor, here's the opposing, Jeff De, Savonier, didn't
27:30hang about there, but popped his head away, gets up well, Suter, the ball's come a long
27:41way, gets up early, tries to direct the header back into the far corner.
27:48In Kelly's kick, did find Jeff De, by Rami, getting a rare start of late, Cherney kept it
28:12in for Raskan, striding with purpose Nico Raskan, now Cherney.
28:19Good play again, it's a bit of a waste at the air night, his eyes lit up due to his ability,
28:28he feels as if he can put that in the top corner from there, but excellent play again from Rangers,
28:33one side to the other side.
28:40Sertie who'sมig
28:50Spooning
28:55Sertie
28:59Tate presented it to Tavernier, Arami, Baran, Raskan, outside of the boot got it all wrong.
29:29Well, Serial Dessers have been rather quiet, as you can see just five touches and only one in Celtic's half.
29:38Yeah, it's a formation that Rangers don't normally play, just that sort of lack of connection in that final third for Rangers.
29:51See more of Dessers and him to link up better.
29:56Forrest.
30:00Nobody really near him for a pass, Tate now for Taylor.
30:18Carter Vickers.
30:21Ross.
30:26Forrest.
30:29Engels.
30:31Look at Raskan in the way.
30:35Common theme of late.
30:40Tavernier.
30:42He's going for the big kick and slipped as he sent it on its way, taken down by scales.
30:53Yeah, I think Celtic...
30:57...of mid.
30:59Tate...
31:00...and Adam Eder has got ahead of Suter!
31:03That is one big, huge, massive save from Liam Kelly.
31:07From Liam Kelly.
31:08That was the chance, wasn't it?
31:10He's onside.
31:14He's onside.
31:18Hefty playing him.
31:20Just about scrambled and clear through Suter.
31:23Now Czerny.
31:24Now Czerny.
31:26As Rangers look to fast forward to the other end.
31:32Diamande.
31:33Czerny let it go.
31:34Dessers barely in the game!
31:36And he's only gone and scored!
31:37Czerny!
31:38And Czerny let it go!
31:39Dessers barely in the game!
31:40And he's only gone and scored!
31:43And Czerny!
31:48And Czerny in it touches!
31:49And then...
31:51Won the counts!
31:53And maybe it will be!
31:56Another show of defiance from Rangers after all!
32:01As they hit the heights on Derby day again!
32:06Well, from one end, one striker isn't clinical!
32:16And then Rangers go straight up the other end!
32:19Dessers, you mentioned Ian!
32:21Not many touches!
32:22Does really well!
32:23Good!
32:26Liam Scales!
32:27And that little touch there!
32:29I don't know whether he meant it or not!
32:31And they're just about staying composed!
32:34Slots it into the far corner!
32:36Not many touches!
32:37But a crucial one Scott!
32:38It's a brilliant goal!
32:39It's an absolutely brilliant goal!
32:40He just shrugs him off there!
32:42But from an Angels point of view!
32:43Or from a Serio Dessers point of view!
32:45This is why!
32:46And will always be why!
32:47Serio Dessers divides!
32:4950,000 fans on a daily basis!
32:51Five touches!
32:52Five touches!
32:53And then he does this!
32:54Nobody cares about the five touches!
32:55They care about his goals!
32:56He nearly doubled his touches in there!
32:59Build up to that excellent finish!
33:0225 goals this season for Dessers!
33:05Here's Ademida though!
33:07As Celtic looked for a rapid response!
33:1036 seconds after Liam Kelly saved!
33:21And Pramida!
33:22Serio Dessers score!
33:26And there he is again!
33:28Battling away!
33:31A goal crucial in its timing as well!
33:34We are in two extra minutes!
33:37In this first half!
33:51Serio Dessers may miss it for you!
33:53But his pickers still stand up!
33:5525 this season!
33:57And it's just the frustrating thing is!
33:59It could have been 45!
34:01Even more!
34:04Rangers!
34:09Seeking three wins in a row over their rivals!
34:13Have the lead!
34:14And Ibrox is pretty happy about that!
34:19We've got a lucky point of view here!
34:32We can see the two managers and I'm watching Brendan Rodgers as well for the last 10 minutes!
34:37I was talking about Barry Ferguson being on Yefte!
34:39I'm watching Rodgers and he is on army angles!
34:42Like a couple of the players are!
34:44So, I don't think he's up to this standard!
34:46He's been sucking on the ball!
34:48Particularly at times, it could be a change at half time!
34:50To get some more impetus in the game!
34:52That's it, as far as the first half is concerned!
34:57He has barely touched the ball!
34:59But do you know what?
35:01Nobody cares for the Rangers persuasion right now!
35:04Serial dancers tucked it away!
35:06Serial dancers tucked it away!
