Rangers 1-2 Celtic LIVE! Carter-Vickers goal - Old Firm match stream, latest score and goal updates today. VIEW COMMENTS.

It promises to be a fiery atmosphere in Glasgow despite it being an early start, and the hosts’ tails are up after a late victory over Dundee last time out that followed their latest Europa League success. Celtic claimed a 3-0 victory at Parkhead earlier in the season, in reply to Rangers’ 1-0 victory in August. It is worth remembering that the rivals have only drawn one of their last 16 encounters. One of the biggest Old Firm derbies in years takes place at Ibrox today as Celtic travel to Rangers in defence of their slender Scottish Premiership lead.

Celtic firm favourites to reclaim title after Carter-Vickers' winner at ... (The Guardian)

Cameron Carter-Vickers scored the winner just before half-time as Celtic took a six-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 2-1 victory ...

And in this respect perhaps the turning point of the game came as early as the seventh minute, when Rogic’s equaliser dramatically spiked a Rangers surge that was already threatening to set the terms of the game. And really the disappointment for Rangers will be that they offered so little in a game that mattered so much. Perhaps that suited Celtic, whose brief would have been to neutralise the Ibrox crowd as quickly as possible and let Rangers stew in their own stress. And this, ultimately, is the sort of game upon which these players will be judged. For the blue half of Glasgow, an afternoon of regrets and frustrations. Their midfield, written off by many ahead of this game as too slight and technical for a game like this, was a superb second line of defence, never allowing Rangers to take control of the game despite Aaron Ramsey’s third-minute goal.

Van Bronckhorst watched his Rangers team fall six points behind Celtic but he says fans can see for themselves where it's gone wrong.

“It’s almost the end of the season with a lot of games to be played in a lot of competitions. I don’t want to find excuses, I just want to play as good as we can with the players we have available. Of course we want Morelos to be involved but he isn’t and that is a fact.” The second half we played almost the whole game in their half and trying to push for the second goal, which eventually didn’t fall. “I think the way we gave these goals away shouldn’t happen but it happened a lot of times, too many times for us in the last couple of months in games. He said: “It was just the way we had to handle it. The newsletter will arrive every day at 12pm, giving you a round up of the best stories we've covered that in the last 24 hours.

So we have to prepare and that’s all we will do.” The Ibrox faithful fell silent as Willie Collum called time on their second derby defeat in a row. But the first of those trophy targets now looks lost after the champions failed to get the result they needed on their date with league destiny at Ibrox. There remains, however, some major occasions on the calendar, starting with Thursday’s trip to Portugal as Van Bronckhorst’s side eye up the club’s first European semi-final since 2008. “We need to keep on going,” stressed the Dutchman.

Failed to clear the danger as ball bounced in Gers' six-yard box and paid the price as Celtic snatched their second. JOHN LUMDSTRAM : First Old Firm start for the Scouser but gave Rogic far too much space in the first half. Kept Hatate hushed but the danger was in behind as Rogic ran riot.

Fraser Wilson takes your calls on the hotline after Ange Postecoglou side's massive win over their city rivals.

Imagine if Celtic won that as well!” Bob Sheridan emailed: “So the Rangers board have finally caved in to a minority of supporters in order to keep them happy. Refereeing in the other games was similar, too many mistakes.” Meanwhile, disgruntled Hibs fan George Fairgreive, Edinburgh , was not impressed with Saturday’s draw with Dundee United. He said: “What a mess Hibs are in, one win in 12 league games and yet another goal lost to a header. We’ve lost more goals to headers than Rangers have had penalties.” Another club definitely not needing a keeper is Hearts after Craig Gordon’s latest wondershow in the draw with Ross County. Ian McDonald, Innerleithen , said: “Craig Gordon’s double save on Saturday was unbelievable. We showed them who is boss in this country and now the £40m they thought was in the bag is coming to Celtic barring a total collapse. The only advert that was shown here is the officials wanted Celtic to win.” Meanwhile, Ian Gallagher, Kirkintilloch , joked: “After the debacle of pulling out of the Australian tournament, defeat at Ibrox means Rangers have now withdrawn from two competitions in the space of four days.” Speaking of which.. The real reason is that they have caved in to their fans as they don’t want them to protest on Sunday in the Glasgow derby. They are a weak board who have simply bottled it.” Andy Adams, KIrkcaldy , suggested: “Why don't the Old Firm organise their own tournament during the World Cup? They could invite two teams from England and promote it as the Platinum Jubilee Cup, similar to the Coronation Cup in 1953. They have failed to turn up in too many domestic games or ditched the European style that has made them so successful for the long-ball game of the SPFL.” However, Scott Gowers, Edinburgh , blasted: “Congratulations Celtic on their helping hand win by Willie Collum. The foul to card ratio is there for all to see. Rangers can take Giorgos Giakoumakis’ comments down from the dressing room wall now as it looks as if he was right.” John Bruce emailed: “Could Rangers have been given a couple of penalties for handball against Celtic? Possibly. Would Rangers have gone so far in Europe by throwing aimless high balls in to the oppositions' box? What a manager Ange Postecoglou is and this is just the start because the Champions League cash will see him dominate for years.” Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, added: “All credit to Celtic who defended magnificently but Rangers looked an ordinary side. Celtic completely controlled the game and look too strong for this Rangers side.” Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “What a show from the champions elect.

Rangers fans don't seem happy with the team's performances under the management of Giovanni van Bronckhorst, following their defeat against Celtic at Ibrox.

When Van Bronckhorst arrived as manager, following Steven Gerrard’s exit in the middle of the season, it is safe to say that the majority of their supporters were delighted.

After Jack passed the ball up the line, Carter-Vickers was cautioned for a thumping tackle on Kemar Roofe. Nir Bitton became the fourth player - and Celtic's third - to enter Collum's book for a tactical foul as Rangers looked to advance. Once the action started after the delay, Collum awarded a few free-kicks for both sides but it was quiet start to the second half for the referee. It was Celtic's turn to claim for a penalty on 38 minutes when Daizen Maeda wanted a spot kick after a challenge from Allan McGregor. Although there was slight contact, the ball was away from the Japanese forward so it was a tough decision for Collum to make but he didn't point to the spot. John Lundstram was the first player to enter Collum's book for a crunching challenge on Giorgos Giakoumakis. From the resulting free-kick, Cameron Carter-Vickers fired home to give the Hoops the lead. Giorgos Giakoumakis deserved a booking for a late challenge on Ryan Jack, with the Rangers man fortunate to escape punishment for his reaction. But it was a quiet start for Collum with his first major decision coming on 12 minutes when he awarded Rangers a free-kick for Carl Starfelt's foul on Joe Aribo. Minutes later Callum McGregor was penalised for an unorthodox challenge on Gers skipper James Tavernier but it didn't warrant a yellow card.

It was tough to take, as was the second goal we had against us. “I think it was better in the second half. “We didn’t take the chances we had.

Scottish PremiershipAlly McCoist's Rangers post mortem absence explained as Ray Parlour hails Celtic men of steelThe Arsenal legend was blown away by the blood and thunder action as Ange Postecoglou's men close in on title glory. After a neat pass from Ryan Kent to slip in Ryan Jack, the Rangers midfielder attempted to cross the ball into the Celtic box. Jack then appeared to lean a hand on the Greek frontman's head - something which would normally be defined by IFAB as "unsporting behaviour" under the subcategory of showing a "lack of respect for the game." Jack branded Giakoumakis "disrespectful" in the build-up to the Ibrox showdown and those tensions spilled over into a derby day flashpoint. It would be difficult to justify a spot-kick using the "unnaturally bigger" rhetoric used by IFAB. The Rangers midfielder didn't take kindly to comments from the Greek striker claiming Celtic were better in every department. Record Sport runs the rule over Collum's big calls on a day of frenzied drama in Govan. With Rangers looking to reclaim their lead after Tom Rogic's equaliser, there were loud claims from the home crowd of a foul on Joe Aribo in the box from Carl Starfelt. The Nigeria midfielder collected the ball in the box and the Celtic centre-back clipped the Rangers man as he changed direction. Experienced whistler Willie Collum took charge of the clash and had his fair share of big calls in Govan. He has been the man in the middle many a time when these two Glasgow heavyweights have gone head-to-head, but the significance to the title race added extra pressure on his shoulders. The contact appeared to be inadvertent from Swede and the penalty claim was waved away by Willie Collum. Ahead of Cameron Carter-Vickers' winner, Daizen Maeda burst into the Rangers penalty box and shrugged off the home defence. However the defender was fairly close to the ball and his arm was not raised. The striker collapsed under the challenge of the veteran stopper before the ball flew in the opposite direction. It has been a title race full of high drama and when the Premiership top two face off you know there will be plenty more to come.

Hit or miss? Rangers transfer record under Ross Wilson as 19 ... (Football Scotland)

The 37-year-old has received criticism from sections of the Gers support after their 2-1 defeat to Celtic.

You can enter once each week to be in with a chance of winning. For your chance to win HOME tickets to cinch SPFL matches each week across ALL FOUR divisions just enter our competition below. He was anonymous in the 3-0 defeat to Celtic at Parkhead and he received criticism for his performance against Dundee United as a substitute. Bacuna was the only player that Rangers paid a fee to sign in the summer. The 21-year-old can play in a variety of positions and his versatility is a bonus. The impact sub deserves the chance to prove if he's good enough to be a starter in the coming weeks. Simpson initially agreed a pre-contract deal to join in the summer before a fee was agreed with Bournemouth. Rangers beat a host of clubs to secure the 25-year-old on a pre-contract deal. Simpson was linked with an exit in January and he looks destined to depart in the summer. Rangers paid a compensation fee in the region of £250,000 for Bassey and it's proving to be a great piece of business. The 29-year-old returned to Amiens this summer as Rangers declined an option to sign him on a permanent deal, for a reported fee in excess of £2.5m. Bassey has been outstanding in recent months and his versatility - he can play at left-back and centre-back - is a real asset to van Bronckhorst.
