Celtic v Rangers: Scottish Premiership – live! (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Can Celtic move to the brink of title glory with victory over their great rivals? Join John Ashdown to find out.

Rangers got the better of their neighbours in the cup last time out, but Celtic won the league tie at Ibrox at the start of April and can effectively seal the Scottish Premiership title with a win today. John Terry is in the stands wearing a Celtic scarf, and Rod Stewart is there too. 9 min: Kyogo Furuhashi clips Lundstram as the Rangers man looks to sweep a ball out to the right. Do Rangers have Reason To Believe, or is Tonight The Night for a Celtic party? Kent is cutting in from the left to meet his cross and gets there in front of Ralston, but his volleyed effort is clipped a yard wide. The referee keeps his cards in his pocket. The latter scampers clear but is hampered by Barisic, whose charging run forward is ill-judged. Lundstram and Davis are bossing midfield at the moment - the former wins the ball, the latter finds Arfield on the right. Maeda drifts inside from the left to find … yards of space. A little better from Rangers that – you got the sense they were beginning to run out of ideas. And the visitors had probably edged the opening quarter. Maeda should nod home but has one eye on the Rangers goalkeeper and timidly glances wide from close range.

Celtic vs Rangers – LIVE updates (Scottish Daily Record)

The task is simple for Ange Postecoglou's men, win and Rangers will be left nine points behind them with a vastly inferior goal difference. But Celtic won't ...

Then he gets in a great position for a header but gets it all wrong and it's high and wide of the target. And that goal was straight out the manual, as Maeda finds a pocket of space and his perfect ball picks out his team-mate. It's a copy-and-paste of Abada's goal in February and it's the same Rangers man at fault. He nearly does it again when Celtic win a throw and and Jota drifts over to the byline, not offside as per the laws of the game regarding throw-ins. He finds pockets of space and his wicked ball to pick out Jota could well have resulted in the second goal. But the Swede is able to recover easily and wins a goal-kick off the Zambian. And this one WOULD have counted as Jota delivers a delicious ball to Maeda with the outside of his boot. But he whipped his phone out to film it as the 60,000-strong home crowd made a racket ahead of the huge derby clash. The first of the game and it's for Ralston who took a poor touch and then left a sore one on Arfield. Hatate, has plenty of class, but he also has a knack of coiughing up the ball at inopportine occasions. He hits it from the edge of the box but the ball is bouncing high and that's reflected in the shot which floats harmlessly over the bar. He and the rest of that backroom are so close to winning it back now.

Celtic v Rangers late team news, predicted XIs: Key men out as both ... (The Scotsman)

Celtic take on Rangers today in a match that could decide the Scottish Premiership title race.

Ange Postecoglou’s main selection dilemma centres around who starts up front. Celtic have edged the league head-to-heads having won the last two fixtures, coming from behind to claim a 2-1 win at Ibrox last month after a 3-0 win at Celtic Park in February, while Rangers edged the first encounter of the season 1-0 at Ibrox in August. While Rangers need to win to keep their feint title hopes alive, the fixture comes amidst a Europa League Cup semi-final, just three days after a 1-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the first leg in Germany ahead of the second leg at Ibrox this coming Thursday.

The Govan men worked their way back into the game but Celtic should have added to their lead. Start your Independent Premium subscription today. The Celtic keeper perhaps should have done better but he then tipped a powerful drive from the Zambia international over the bar, with Sakala then heading the subsequent corner over. Unmarked Furuhashi, from an offside move, hooked a shot over the bar from a cross from Maeda, who then headed past the post with only McGregor to beat. In the 12th minute Ryan Kent volleyed a cross from captain James Tavernier past the post from 12 yards when he should have at least tested Hoops keeper Joe Hart, who then had to deal with a decent long-range drive from the attacker. Striker Fashion Sakala levelled in the 68th minute with a powerful drive but the draw keeps Rangers six points behind the Hoops with only three fixtures remaining - and with Celtic having a superior goal difference of 19 it would take a notable and unlikely turnaround to keep the title at Ibrox.

Comes out to Davis on the edge of the box and he can’t control the shot. Blasts the shot over the bar. Headed over the bar, never troubling Hart. This time the Rangers man doesn’t really make any contact at all. With just over 20 minutes played, it was Celtic who took the lead. Tavernier whips the cross in, Starfelt there once again to head it away.
