Celtic vs Rangers

The first Old Firm derby of 2022/23 kicks off this weekend as Rangers head across Glasgow to face age-old foes Celtic.

There's just two points between Celtic and Rangers at the top of the table. 30 mins to KO: Morelos is back in the Rangers matchday squad after a recent disciplinary and fitness issue, but the Colombian striker only makes the bench. Rangers believe they should have had the throw-in, but Celtic take it quickly, O'Riley plays the ball into the middle and Abada has peeled away from his marker to finish! Taylor has the time and space on the left side to get a ball into the middle, it finds Abada at the back post and the Celtic winger scores through the legs of McLaughlin! O'Riley plays a wonderful cross into the middle for Giakoumakis, but the Celtic striker gets underneath it and can only glance wide of the target when he probably should have found the back of the net. O'Riley plays a quick freekick in behind for Jota, the angle is tight for the Portuguese winger, but he still manages to chip a neat finish over McLaughlin and into the back of the net! Rangers are slow to close him down, but the Celtic midfielder slices high and wide of the target when he might have tested McLaughlin. McLaughlin passes the ball straight to Turnbull and the Celtic midfielder slots the finish underneath the Rangers goalkeeper who only has himself to blame for that one! 85 mins: Sakala elects to take on two or three Celtic defenders inside the box on his own, but he's crowded out in the end and that pretty much sums up how Rangers have played this match. Celtic force defenders and goalkeepers into difficult decisions on the ball due to their high-pressing style, but McLaughlin still should have found a Rangers teammate with his pass out from the back. Celtic also had Giorgios Giakoumakis and Daizen Maeda to bring off the bench to keep the intensity of their play high in the second half. Celtic have now won all of their first six Scottish Premiership fixtures this season and have scored 25 times in the process.
