Scottish Premiership: Rangers v Celtic BBC Radio Scotland This video can not be played Scottish Premiership: Rangers v Celtic BBC Radio Scotland Listen to Sportsound Rangers 2-0 Celtic - Chermiti scissor kick opens scoring before he doubles lead Rangers, second, two points above Celtic but both chase Hearts Sides have one win each in the fixture this season across all competitions Nick Mc Pheat HT: Rangers 2-0 Celtic Here's some of your half-time thoughts. .. Alan: This is a good watch. The way the Premiership used to be before we had players diving over anything and passing backwards! Ref letting game flow as well - great job so far. Rob: Awful Celtic performance. Is Wilfried Nancy still the manager? Absolutely awful. Norm: Youssef Chermiti looks great against Celtic because Liam Scales is supposed to be marking him. Ditto with Mikey Moore and Julian Araujo. Awess: You’d think this would spark the Celtic board into action in the transfer market, but I’m not hopeful given their past record. The league is over from our perspective. Steven: Love Martin O'Neill but he shouldn't be picking Daizen Maeda, he downed tools a few months ago. An absolute empty jersey. HT: Rangers 2-0 Celtic Feels like that's been a big part of the blueprint of how to beat Celtic for some time now. They don't seem to have an answer for it. HT: Rangers 2-0 Celtic Pat Nevin Former Scotland winger on BBC Sportsound They've done a job on Callum Mc Gregor, haven't they, Rangers? If you do a job on Callum Mc Gregor, I'm not saying it completely stops Celtic, but it's probably their main player. He is the metronome. They've done some job on him. Callum Mc Gregor has a big task to rouse Celtic in the second half HT: Rangers 2-0 Celtic Andy Halliday Ex-Hearts & Rangers midfielder on BBC Sportsound It's been incredible. I think Rangers have been excellent. It's arguably been their best 45 minutes under Danny Rohl. Youssef Chermiti, he's such an enigma. In the two games against Celtic and the games against Hearts, it's where he's provided his best performances. That first goal. Tune in to Sportscene tonight and you will see Scott Mc Tominay against Denmark in an Old Firm fixture. HT: Rangers 2-0 Celtic Four of Youssef Chermiti's nine Rangers goals have come against Celtic. That feels like the most Youssef Chermiti thing you could say about Youssef Chermiti. HT: Rangers 2-0 Celtic Rangers 2-0 Celtic A Youssef Chermiti double has Rangers cruising at the break. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Just ain't happening for Celtic. They'll need to make half-time changes. They can't be worse than this second half. Surely. Rangers 2-0 Celtic One minute added. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Another wide free-kick causes problems for Celtic, John Souttar having a goal-bound shot blocked before Emmanuel Fernandez slices his rebound. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Andy Halliday Ex-Hearts & Rangers midfielder on BBC Sportsound He's the one player within Rangers' system that's given almost a free role to roam inside, pick up the ball and take that half-turn, drive at back fours. He's been superb so far. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Pat Nevin Former Scotland winger on BBC Sportsound If not personnel changes, there will be tactical changes for Celtic, but I wouldn't be surprised at personnel changes - at least one or two substitutions. Junior Adamu has lacked service in the first half Rangers 2-0 Celtic Emmanuel Fernandez is up higher than anyone else to power a wide free-kick with his head, but it's just wide of the far post. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Celtic second best to everything. Callum Mc Gregor is in the book for tripping Mikey Moore. That gets a big cheer from the home fans. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Celtic have had their first shot. A blocked Daizen Maeda from a wide free-kick is gathered by Jack Butland. Rangers 2-0 Celtic A quick look at the stats back up Chris Sutton's view. Total domination. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Chris Sutton Former Celtic striker on Sky Sports The first 35 minutes have been an absolute mauling. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Mikey Moore aims for Ryan Naderi at the near post, but last-ditch stuff from Celtic gets the ball cleared for a corner, which comes to nothing. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Andy Halliday Ex-Hearts & Rangers midfielder on BBC Sportsound How many times in 25 minutes have we seen Chukwuani or Raskin turn the ball over for Rangers? Nygren, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mc Gregor have not tackled a single Rangers player yet in possession. Celtic need to be much better off the ball and make more contact. Rangers 2-0 Celtic Celtic's problems run deeper than their centre-half options, but surely Stephen Welsh would start for this team? Match report to appear here. Rate players out of 10 for this game.

Audio01/03/2026 BBC Radio 5 Live Scottish Premiership All competitions All competitions All competitions 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 Mc Coist (11), and last did so within a single season in April 2003 under Alex Mc Leish (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 Mc Carthy 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.
