“Game on!”

GOAL! Rangers 2-1 Celtic (Kieran Tierney, 56′)
A Celtic goal here would make things interesting.
This has been their best spell of the match by a long way.
Hatate slips the ball inside to Nygren on the edge of the box.
He flicks it over to the right where Kieran Tierney leaps and powers a header past Butland!

Moore floats a cross in from the inside right channel and Liam Scales flicks it on trying to clear the ball.
Instead it drops to Rommens who just manages to touch the ball towards goal where Sinisalo scoops it up.

Second half! Rangers 2-0 Celtic
Celtic get the ball rolling for the second half.
The last time the visitors came from 2-0 down to beat Rangers was in 1983.
Can they do so again today?

A sensational performance from Rangers
As sensational performance as that was from Rangers and Youssef Chermiti, that was dire stuff from Celtic.
“With not a single shot on target, they have been completely overrun.
“As Chermiti is given a standing ovation, Celtic’s title challenge looks in tatters.”

HT Rangers 2-0 Celtic
Rangers’ dominance is easily on display when you look at the stats.
Seven shots for the hosts and goals came from the two that were on target.
Celtic’s response has been one lone shot that was missing anyway.
The Hoops have had more of the possession but Rangers have made 20 touches in the opponent’s box compared to just five for Celtic.
The Gers are also ahead in forward passes (75 to 70), long balls (36 to 24) and successful final third passes (48 to 15).

Half-time! Rangers 2-0 Celtic
45+1 mins: An incredible half of football comes to an end at Ibrox with Rangers in total control.
Celtic have been bullied and battered all over the pitch and Youssef’s Chermiti’s clinical nature in front of goal have given the hosts a comfortable lead.
Expect changes from the Hoops at the start of the second half, it hasn’t worked out for them so far.
