Celtic with a free-kick opportunity on the right, it’s a decent delivery by Bernardo but Dujon Sterling gets an important flick-on to divert the danger away for Rangers.

Well wide from Yilmaz as Rangers open up Celtic down the right once more. Greg Taylor’s found the going tough against Yilmaz and Cerny this half.

Cameron Carter-Vickers to Celtic’s rescue! Through the eye of a needle from Bajrami to set up Diomande and the American centre-back comes up trumps with a superb last-ditch intervention to stop the midfielder in his tracks!

Perhaps an intervention like that from the back can give Rodgers’ men the lift they need at the top end. Superb bit of defending.

Hagi has caused no end of problems for Celtic. The fans appeal for a foul on the edge of the box as he gets another shot away, but no free-kick is forthcoming at the end of it.

The visitors have been unusually sluggish in this first-half and will see their lead at the summit cut to 11 points by their hosts as it stands.

The Celtic captain is the first man to go into Don Robertson’s book this afternoon.

And on that cue, it’s another chance for Rangers in transition with Hagi leading the charge, looking for the same bottom right he scored into but putting it just wide here.

If the message from Philippe Clement was for Rangers to impose themselves, then they’re doing it to a tee. Mohammed Diomande the latest to foray forward but it comes to nothing.

It’s been a quiet enough start for Gers striker Hamza Igamane down the middle, not many openings for him but those around him are giving the Celtic defence serious headaches.

Rangers are on the attack again and it’s Cerny at the heart of it once more, he plays in Yilmaz down the inside right but his cross-come-shot hits the side netting.

A quiet game from the usually lively Nicolas Kuhn so far down Celtic’s right. With Jefte and Hagi doubling up on him, the German hasn’t had much joy.

A tester from Daizen Maeda as he cuts inside from the left, but it skews wide of Kelly’s left-hand post.

That goal from Hagi was just the fifth Celtic have conceded in the League all season and first in the League in six weeks, but Rangers have put their visitors’ backline under pressure with their transitions.

This time, it’s Ridvan Yilmaz who applies the pressure and bears down on goal, getting a shot away but it’s tame and Schmeichel gathers it.

In any case, the hosts are finding space and look more likely to build on their lead at this rate than Celtic are to find an equaliser.

Rangers inches from a second. Cerny is played in, cuts inside from the right and shoots on his left foot, but a deflection sees it deflect off the top of Schmeichel’s crossbar!

A fast start from the home side in this one. Celtic by contrast haven’t really got started bar Furuhashi’s early chance.

Alongside Butland, James Tavernier is also out, with Raskin wearing the captain’s armband from the middle of the park for Rangers.

Rangers draw first blood! Celtic loose the ball about 45 yards out from goal, Nicolas Raskin picks it up and cutely backheels into Ianis Hagi.

The Romanian, son of Gheorghe, takes it in his stride and shapes a gorgeous low effort from just outside the box into the bottom right past Kasper Schmeichel’s dive! Lovely finish.

If you fail to succeed, try, try and try again… but three shots from Nedim Bajrami are all blocked in a searching opportunity for Rangers going up the other way.

Shouts for handball are also waved away by referee Don Robertson.

First chance of the game falls for Celtic and it’s a big one. Callum McGregor’s corner from the right fails to beat the first man but comes straight back to him, delivers a highly dangerous ball but Kyogo Furuhashi gets the ball caught under his feet from just a few yards out.

The Japanese striker will feel he should’ve done better there… that’s an early let-off for Rangers.
