Rangers 2-0 Celtic
'Welcome to the Old Firm derby' stuff from John Souttar on Junior Adamu.
The Rangers defender absolutely wallops the Celtic striker in the air. Ouch.

Rangers 2-0 Celtic
Andy Halliday
Ex-Hearts & Rangers midfielder on BBC SportsoundI don't know what it is with Youssef Chermiti in this fixture, but he does it again.
Youssef Chermiti does ever so well to keep it alive - flicks it by Julian Araujo, flicks it by Viljami Sinisalo, 2-0 to Rangers.

Youssef Chermiti
He's done it again!
It's an absolute mess from the Celtic defence, Dane Murray slices a clearance backwards and Julian Araujo is so soft, but Youssef Chermiti does brilliantly to capitalise.
The striker's deft touch skips him past Araujo and he pokes in a second.

Really good from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to beat a man in midfield and find Daizen Maeda wide on the left, but the Celtic forward's cross is so poor.
Needs to be better from Maeda.

Some views on that Youssef Chermiti goal, including one questionable nickname...
William: My god, this lad is making so many people look stupid. That is an incredible goal. Wow, sensational.
Graham: I’m an Everton fan, and so pleased to see Chermiti getting to show what he can do. Hope the Rangers fans get behind him and I’m sure they will reap the rewards of his undoubted talent.
David: The Cherminator strikes again.

Kieran Tierney bends in a wicked ball from the left. Jack Butland is brave to claim as Junior Adamu attempts to meet the cross.

Rangers 1-0 Celtic
Rangers have a record of W13, D4, L0 when scoring the opening goal in the Premiership this season.
In fact, they have avoided defeat in their last 40 matches when scoring first in the Premiership, since a 3-2 loss to Ross County on 14 April 2024.

Even then, Pat, he's done very little.
Looks a shadow of last season's player of the year.
'Maeda most dangerous for Celtic'published at 12:20 GMT

Pat Nevin
Former Scotland winger on BBC SportsoundMaybe Maeda's looking the most dangerous at the moment because he keeps going behind that Rangers defence.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's corner takes a nick at the front post but nobody can make second contact.
Celtic can't maintain any kind of pressure.

It opens up a bit for Celtic and Yang Hyun-Jun bursts forward before finding Daizen Maeda, who doesn't opt to shoot and scuffs his cross.

Celtic respond with two corners that come to nothing, then up the other end go Rangers.
Mikey Moore finds Youssef Chermiti at the back stick and the striker hits the outside of the post at a tight angle.
Celtic are rocking. So is Ibrox.

Andy Halliday
Ex-Hearts & Rangers midfielder on BBC SportsoundI can't believe what I've just watched. Think of Scott McTominay against Denmark.
Youssef Chermiti gets about nine foot above ground, overhead kick by Sinisalo.
What a goal. What a start from Rangers.
GOAL Rangers 1-0 Celticpublished at 8'
Youssef Chermiti
An outrageous goal.
Andreas Skov Olsen stands up a cross and Youssef Chermiti does his best Scott McTominay impression, thumping in a ridiculous overhead, bicycle kick.
An instant classic Old Firm goal. He's done it again in this fixture.

Rangers work a corner short and Mikey Moore finds Nico Raskin at the near post.
His flick is saved by Viljami Sinisalo, but the Rangers midfielder is quite a bit offside.

Match Facts
Rangers are unbeaten in their last five league meetings with rivals Celtic (W3 D2), after having lost four of their previous five beforehand (D1). They have had four different managers in those five clashes (Philippe Clement, Barry Ferguson x2, Russell Martin, Danny Röhl).
Celtic have only won two of their last 12 away games at Rangers in all competitions (D4 L6), although both of their last two have been drawn. The Hoops last drew three successive trips to their Old Firm rivals in March 1996.
Rangers have won each of their last 10 home games in all competitions by an aggregate score of 32-4. The Gers last won 11 successive home matches in December 2013 under Ally McCoist (11), and last did so within a single season in April 2003 under Alex McLeish (18) – the 11th of which was against Celtic (3-2 in December 2002).
Celtic have lost seven games in the Scottish Premiership this season, as many as they did in 2023-24 (3) and 2024-25 (4) combined. The Hoops last suffered more defeats in a league campaign in 1999-00 (9) – with their eighth defeat that season coming away to Rangers (0-4 in March 2000).
After his side’s 3-1 win in January, Danny Röhl could become the first ever manager to win both of his first two league Old Firm derbies in charge of Rangers.
This will be Martin O’Neill’s first league Old Firm derby as Celtic boss since a 2-1 win at Ibrox in April 2005; the Northern Irishman has won eight of his last 10 league games against Rangers as Hoops boss (L2).
Rangers’ Mikey Moore, who scored in the last Old Firm derby in January, has five goals in the Scottish Premiership this season; the last player to score more while aged 18 or younger in a season in the competition was Ryan Gauld in 2013-14 (6), and the last non-Scottish player to do so in the top-flight was James McCarthy in 2008-09 (6).
Despite playing 46% of his minutes in the Scottish Premiership this season as a central midfielder, Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren ranks joint-top for goals (14, level with Tawanda Maswanhise), second for shots (67), second for shots on target (30), and third for expected goals (10.0) in the 2025-26 competition.
