Celtic vs Rangers Live: The latest scores from the Scottish Premiership’s first Old Firm derby of the season

Rangers were relieved but the worry was how easily they were picked apart there. It was surprising that Philippe Clement’s side didn’t sit deeper, even though they looked threatening in possession and forced Celtic into several possession errors.

Celtic made Rangers pay!

The home team played some fantastic football. After Celtic broke through the defence, the Rangers defence was caught out and their midfielders were too high. Callum McGregor passed the ball to Nicholas Kuhn, who burst into the box and passed it to Kyōgo, who made no mistake.

Wait – offside! Kuhn left too early and VAR ruled out the first goal!

What a great opportunity this is for Rabbi Matondo! Another great pass from James Tavernier found its way to the winger’s head but he couldn’t hit the target from five yards out!

The slightly damp ground helped Daizen Maeda out of his troubles and the Celtic forward was able to block the ball near the byline. The forwards gathered to support Maeda, who moved infield and then used the space on the left. Greg Taylor passed the ball between Maeda and several other teammates in the penalty area, and Jeffert hit the ball hard.

Rangers had good possession of the ball in the first few skirmishes, breaking through Celtic’s pressing defence, but were unable to penetrate the back four.

tame! Celtic once again conceded the ball after an ill-timed error, with James Tavernier finding Cyril Desais with a sharp pass. The striker was deft with his feet but his shot was timid and Kasper Schmeichel scooped it away. Regardless, the flag was up.

It was the first official challenge of the game as Connor Barron slid in from behind Kyogo. The midfielder escaped a yellow card.

Reo Hatate opened the scoring for Celtic shortly afterwards, firing a shot from 30 yards out that went wide.

Celtic tried to attack from the back but were intercepted by James Tavernier. The right-back then passed the ball to Cerny, who tried to pass it over the top of the goal – but he hit it wide, causing it to fly out of bounds.

Rangers immediately took advantage of the opportunity to test the Celtic defence, with Vaclav Cerny rising to flick the ball towards the far post. The header was a little too strong.
