This picture will sum up Brendan Rodgers’ emotions proper now…

The referee blows the whistle for half-time and this Outdated Agency derby is degree on the break.

Rangers have in all probability nearly edged it, with Celtic providing valuable little in assault however trying strong total in defence, with Scales and Carter-Vickers making a collection of essential clearances and Kieran Tierney repeatedly getting the higher of Gassama.

Nonetheless, it’ll be Russell Martin who’s the happier of the 2 managers on the break.

Diomande is down as Rangers clear an assault, with Celtic unfortunate to not get a free-kick proper on the sting of the realm because the Rangers man took down the ahead.

That’ll be the final motion of the half…

The final time Celtic didn’t have a shot within the first half of a sport within the Premiership was in opposition to Ross County in 2018! They’re in peril of the identical occurring right here.

Rangers assault once more after Diomande does brilliantly in the course of the park, however Meghoma’s cross is straight to Schmeichel.

We’ll have 4 minutes of added time as Diomande sees his cross cleared by Carter-Vickers.

Balikwisha thinks he’s via into the field however he’s nudged Tavernier. That’s mushy from the ref.

Tavernier’s cross solely finds Scales however Rangers win one other nook as Maeda comes again on after receiving therapy.

Nothing comes from the set-piece or the ensuing Celtic counter.

It’s been Rangers with many of the attacking impetus within the final 10 minutes however they’ve been unable to transform them into real, onside probabilities as far as they provide away a free-kick on Maeda.

Celtic will probably be upset with their first half because it stands.

Moore has regarded actually brilliant each time he has the ball at his ft and he places in an important derby problem to win possession again after dropping it, earlier than Rangers win a free-kick to sluggish the sport down a bit.

Play hasn’t resumed as Liam Scales is down receiving therapy.
