The snow started this morning it’s gone off at the moment the game is on at 12:30 and it’s Celtic against Rangers for the second time this season Celtic took the spoils at I broos in September who is going to win today well we’ve got two Giants of this match over the years

Peter Grant is with us Peter how you feeling nervous right always but that’s the way it is before the build up to these games Paul you just can’t wait to kick off this was a terrible time this is the bit you just want to be on the pitch with the referee’s whistle going

And then the nerves disappear you just go on and play the game bar fuson how you feeling s like granny got a fair bit in theirs but also I’m excited um cuz it’s a brilliant fixture me and Grant I’ve been lucky enough to play in many

Of them um and it’ll be interesting to see how um Rangers approach a game under Philip clemont they’ve been exceptional been really good for them but in my opinion this is the biggest test um but I’m confident that the the Rangers team that’s been put out is capable of coming

Away with the the three points couple of surprises maybe in the Rangers team not if you listen to this program last night for Celtic they start with heart of course the back four of alist Johnson Steven Welsh is in no Cameron K Vickers scales and Taylor McGregor the captain

O’Reilly and Bernardo who’s been in the the last few games and up front MAA Palmer and kyogo on the bench Bane abada is back but starts on the bench Yang Turnbull navroski o hatti back and on the bench Ralston and Mikey Johnson and for Rangers who arrived a short time ago

At Celtic Park it’s a Jack batland and goals tavener Goldson balagan and yilma so gold has made it barisich hasn’t lrom Sterling and canwell mland and SEMA and deserts up top on the bench mcro Sutter Lamers sentes matondo D yep we are indeed H Scott Wright King and divine

Peter first of all in Celtic I think that’s the team that you thought they would go with to too early for hatti or abada absolutely listen it’s great to have them back on the bench we don’t know how fat they’ve been PA or how long they’ve been training but two massive

Players and they had a big loss not to be starting to be perfectly honest with you but it’s great to see them back on and having that opportunity to have them back but I look around about the team and I know we’re talking about Welsh the

One thing he does give us is we B more in the air people are lost cter Rickers of course we have and he’s a massive player there’s no doubt of that but Welsh is very very good there both in his own box and in opposition box so I’m

Not frightened of that he’ll deal with that if Rangers are bombard in the box but Rangers are a big side Barry the Rangers side so it’s good news that John Lindstrom is fit and Conor goon you reckoned last night he would make it yeah I did it’s important listen Connor

Goon’s massive sent at the back with his experience um and he’s in my opinion he’s he’s been excellent for Rangers over the over the piece so it was important they got him back and obviously Lindstrom um there was a fear that he could miss the game but in my opinion since Philip clemont’s

Come in John lrom has been the most most consistent performer so that’s a a massive boost the only one is Baris it’s missing but it’s a chance for the to come in and and prove that he can be a Rangers player going forward are you surprised that barisich hasn’t made it

Not even on the bench yeah I don’t know the injury Paul he’s missed the last um game um so listen he must he must be unfit to play which is is disappointing but as I said it’s an opportunity for Y Mar to come in and and show what he’s

Made of Celtic fans in 6 th000 will be there Peter the weather was bad in the way down it has got much better in the last half hour or so how big are the fans going to be today for Celtic given that there’s no Ranger support at all

They always massive balling and we keep getting back to it I get back to the year that Rangers won the league Celtic with no supporters and it shows you how important they are you know and it’s great when you’ve got a full stadium and listen it didn’t work for Rangers you

Know when they had the full Stadium at the start of the Season I’m hoping they can we can turn it around and it’s interesting looking at both setups Rangers have got six different players playing in this particular fixure for the first one at the start of the Season

Celtic get the three and that’s probably through injury but Rangers of like the other boys are predominantly fit it’s not playing for Rangers um and that shows you what the manager come in and changing what he sees and what he sees different so bar talked about it’ll be

Interesting how you see I think he will have a go at Celtic I really do I think he’s got that confidence in his group that he’s going to try and have a goal and put Celtic on the back foot I don’t think he was sitting back like Michael

Beal did in the game at iok where he dropped in and sort to March Callum and S leave the ball on the back line I think he will go and have it make Celtic try and make mistakes Barry what do you feel yeah agree I think that will be his

Mindset to go and have a go at Celtic um the biggest difference I’ve seen since the new managers come in is when they do attack teams they’re very well organized behind the ball as before they went were pretty open and easy to hit in the counter and so that’s the reason why I

Think clemont will have a go at Celtic cuz Rangers have certainly get paced the way day areas with mland and SEMA and obviously the the two field backs are are really attack-minded and it’s important that Lindstrom and Sterling anchor in the middle of the pitch Peter anything surpris you about the Rangers

Lineup today no not at all I mean obviously the left back obviously doesn’t surprise me Baruch because he usually misses out in the big games for Rangers anyway how you feel that yeah well I do you know I felt the last time he missed the game or he went off in the

Game and played International Football so doesn’t surprise me so it’ll be interesting to see how y I think he’s very much a more attacking player than he is you know but he likes to get forward so it’ll be interesting to see if Celtic can put them under pressure defensively because that’s the one

Question mark I would have about y m um as I say I’ve not seen a lot of them but Bar’s right I see a big Improvement in lrom and cause he’s playing in central Midfield that’s the big difference and Sterling to be fair to him and the games

I’ve seen him when he’s come on I think he’s done really well and he’s offered legs to Rangers so it can go and support the front quick quickly or going and press the ball which is more important for the manager cuz he wants it to take the ball off the opposition quickly and

He’s got the legs and energy to do that yeah the the difference in lrom for me when I’ve seen about seven or eight the games since clemont’s come in he’s just simplified his game he keeps it simple and he stops opponents for playing and I

Think when lrom does that sort of role I think he’s a much better player and I think you’ve seen that in his performances and it was key that Rangers got him back today anything surprise you in the Celtic lineup Barry when you look at it I mean it’s not a surprised one of

The questions would be kyogo is he going to come back on the the blistering form in my opinion listen kyogo was still the best forward at Celtic country M he’s going through a bit of bar spell he did score last week but he’s still a major threat Paul even if he’s he’s not

Playing at The Heights as he had before and I think that comes down to a bit of supply for the way there is we we Wingers having to get the ball into the box but listen he’s still a danger and that’s one that go balagan I’ll need to

Be careful of cuz his movement at times is exceptional Peter you picked up on that you said it in the program here about the supply it’s not the same do you think Celtic will improve today they’ll have to improve to give the right ball for kyogo I think it’s been

Too slow to balling in the Box you know at times you know when you’ve beaten your opponent and bar will tell you Strikers love it when you put it in there see as soon as you beat because then they can go off the first movement

And I think you will have to do that against Rangers anyway cuz the height issue comes into it you know so you know it’s got to be the movement then so that ball can get in early so Rangers are facing their own goal that’s what’s going to be the biggest threat for me

For Celtic so if I was the manager building up to this game once you beat your opponent put it in if it’s your fullback or your wide player deliver it and then you’re going to get the Midfield support and you’ve got to sometimes cause havoc and putting the

Ball in there tell Defenders don’t like facing their own goal and we’re not going to beat the two Center halfes in the air that’s for sure so has got to be off his movement he does that off the first ball exception well as kyogo kick

Off is less than 20 minutes away way the Go Radio football show with global Eco energy design your bespoke solar PV system and meet your energy needs with no upfront cost let’s go 12 minutes past 12 on the 30th of December we’ve been talking about it for months bar haven’t

We looking forward to this day and you kept saying no no no it’s one game at a time I sometimes think I’m speaking to Philip clong what is that 16 games undefeated yeah for Rangers and for Celtic the last couple of games back on form Peter I think it’s really hard one

To call today is that the impression you get going into this one I’ve always said to you about a Celtic Rangers match Paul you never ever call them cuz Forum does go out the window you know we hav’t into games we played exceptionally well in the buildup and been Leed and vice versa

You know I mean so I know what it’s like and it’s all about performance on the day who can come and make their big performances make not make the major mistakes refereeing decisions all these things come in here you know these are so important and earlier on we were

Thinking about the weather you know you know so everything comes into it and these are the and it’s the big players who can keep that concentration and play the levels they’ve been doing they’re the ones that you think these are the ones that’s made for these games and

They could make the difference in this particular moment in this big game especially if something goes against one of them H in the game who’s the guys that’s going to kol them round about them and bring them back in there’s always so much hype around this game how

Much you looking forward to it yeah very much so I always do these are these are amazing games it’s it’s such a an iconic game uh to be involved in and uh and obviously got a great result at I Brooks earlier on the season now we’re in front

Of our own supporters so we’re really excited by it and no Rangers fans there today Philip Clon was asked about this yesterday no in our hearts they will be there it’s a pity for football I think it’s it’s it’s always better to have two sides it creates also a certain

Atmosphere I think uh it’s a pity for football but it’s decisions made above my heads also with knowing much more things that I know so again I try to control the controllable the things that I can do the things we need to do as a team uh with my staff

With the players and the rest is is is not important uh we’re not focused on that we are focused on our football and uh and the game fascinating isn’t it battle between two managers Philip Kong new to Brenan Rogers I think he’s won 13 out of 14 he’s only lost one to Rangers

And yet are Rangers the form team Peter you have to say that Paul on run of 16 games you know since a manager come in have won the trophy we always said the first one of the season has winning a trophy and you want to do that as

Quickly as you possibly can and Razer have done that exception well and you’ve got to give the manager great credit I said when he got the job the one thing he’s got to do forget Celtic and concentrate in every other game and the buildup to playing against a Celtic and

He’s done that exceptionally well and I think he speaks very well you know he’s listen he’s a lot of experience as well good clubs and one trophies so he knows how to go about his business and he’s done that very well and you’ve got to give him credit for that Barry you’ve

Been impressed by him what do you feel about Brenan Rogers he’s a lot of criticism but you know we we always say he’s an elite manager and his record domestically is second to none yeah but went through a stcky patch over the last few weeks which um I never seen coming

Some of the the points that have dropped um was surprising but that’s given Rangers a a massive opportunity and as I said at the start of the show poll that this is the acid test for for Rangers that they’ve done well they’ve won the first trophy which is great they’ve went

Over to Bettis and get a brilliant Victory to top the group in the Europa League but now this is this is NR um they need to go into the the lines then and make sure that they come away with result serial deser yesterday Peter mentioned about the win against Bettis

And Barry smiled as the listened and he said no he’s not played in anything like this game the old firm match oh for sure and people can tell you about it and probably because we were brought up it we knew what it was about and it’s only

You hear like the G sunus and the ray wans and that when they played in Nal all and they say this was the biggest one then we’ve got to say okay maybe it is you know we you talk about Argentina looks phenomenal but when you’re talking

About this to us as lar Shire boys Scottish boys you know there is only one game in town and this is it and this is a one you knew that you had to turn up and you had to perform because it meant everything and at the end of the day the

Thinging about this game was it was the only time you’re allowed to perform not great as long as you won that was the only game because every other one that manag would have lambasted you if you’d have won a few goals and still had played well for for performance and this

One won it that’s the most important same story for you Bary yeah I would take Ranger has been Absolut horrendous today couldn’t string two passes together and Come Away with the three points that that’s as granny mentioned it’s all about making sure you you come away for Celtic Part with with three

Points no matter how you play listen it’s a bonus if you play well I’ve played many old fun games and um our performances was well below par but you know what we won the game and that’s what what people um remember they don’t remember the performance that remember

That there a seral des has been speaking about the effect of the new manager um I think he brought not not only for me but I think for the rest as well like he brought Clarity um he has a style of play which suits me very well which

Suits the the team as well the other players as well and um yeah he he brings a good structure in it and that’s that’s something that I like as a player I like uh that uh that everything is clear we know what to do we just go on the pitch

And we can like go switch to automatic pilot and just do our job made it simple for the players keep it that that’s exact I said that about four or five weeks ago ders I just men mentioned there sorry they’ve got a clear structure they’re very well drilled

Really well coached um and you can see that in the performances as I said out the 16 games Paul probably eight of them they they’ve not played very well but they found a way cuz they’ve been hard to beat they’ve been solid defensively and when they get that opportunity

They’ve managed to to put the the ball in the back of the net here’s Callum McGregor players can’t wait you know when these games come around then you know there’s always excitement surrounding the game and inside the building outside the building so it’s it’s just our job to to stay calm and

And understand you know what we need to do what we need to bring to the game to to make it a success um so the players train B this morning and and like you said we’re ready to go look forward it staying Cal is a big part of it it must

Be difficult you I was lucky enough to be in the tunnel but only there you know as a a reporter Peter it must be so easy to lose your head in the first tackle oh I’ve been there Paul um so I know what it’s like and it’s very very difficult

People say it’s just another game it’s it’s not there is absolutely no doubt to that when you brought up the west of Scotland that is not the case it’s a completely different game you’ve got to go and perform at your best you just want to win you don’t even look across

The tunnel at each other I see people shaking hands now swaping jerseys it was more like swaping punches probably another day um but that’s the way it is that’s the name of the game you’ve got to go there fight for everything as you say you maybe not have your best game

You’ve got to make sure your opponent doesn’t have his best game either but you’re right in moments and I’ve unfortunately let myself down in certain moments on it and you let yourself down you lose that concentration that’s what the game can do to you and that’s why

I’m saying getting into these games it’s slightly different you know especially in our day because most of us were west of Scotland boys you know I mean you how much you meant to everybody your family was supporting and everything was there and everything was built on it people

Going to work on Monday all these things and I’m sure that’s not changed for a lot of people but for the players it slightly changed but for us it wasn’t and that was the thing it could maybe make make you or break you and they respected that if you let your teammates

Down and I occasions and that that is the problem it lives with you bar you mentioned yours in the column yesterday you were sent off in one of the games but there’s VAR Now isn’t there for the players so I was never a sending off listen it wasn’t believe a Rangers

Player was sent off two bookings the first was a bing but the second was never a never a booting um but who’s the referee who who was it that’s a good question um I’ll come back to maybe later yeah I’ll come back to that one but listen the cas say today you’re

Going into battle it’s a war today you know what I mean it’s that’s the way I used to approach the games and I used to always think it’s about the bragging rights for the people who are coming to watch the game and the thousands and thousands of supporters who are are

Watching it and the bars or in their their houses cuz if you lost it you didn’t want to go to the shops you didn’t want to go to the petrol station cuz you would get absolute dogs abuse but that that was part of it and I didn’t mind that cuz that

Obviously ra you up a we bit for the for the next game it’s so huge for your friends your families of course you know families these days some of them will be Celtic fans some Rangers fans with the guy on the other week said Andy uh Andrew is my confirmation name and then

I said all right Andrew the middle name he said no no Derek’s my middle name my dad’s a Rangers Fan I thought that was brilliant so you had Derek from the Rangers side and you had Andrew who’s going to win it I’m going to ask Barry

And Peter and the teams will be out shortly the gadio football show with global Eco energy design your bespoke solar PV system and meet your energy needs with no upfront cost let’s go yep Bar’s in a dark blue fetching top check royal blue royal blue jammies

Yeah Peter we did speculate are you in your Celtic jammies would you get them for Christmas yeah definitely got them for Christmas had to wear them today you know support the boys the sky coverage will be on in the back background the great coverage there of course Ian

Crocker and the guys but Barry and Peter will give us that extra expert commentary during the game not commentary of course but just keeping us right up to date with what’s going to happen well we can see brandan Rogers there is he going to be smiling at

Fulltime Peter Grant what do you think I hope so that’s for sure you know it’s going to be a tough game let me tell you I wouldn’t it wouldn’t surprise me and I as I say I usually don’t give the fixure because anything can happen it I’ve got

A funny feeling going to be a draw I’ve got a real funny feeling it’s going to be a draw today that’s been my my thought for the last couple of weeks and I’ve looked at it just to balance of both teams at this moment in time I

Could Rangers would maybe be happy in a way your Celtic Part with it even though they’re playing well they’d be happy with the point where it be a disappointing one for because it’s a home game can you imagine it though Peter look at HS Hearts the other night

Terrible game seven minutes added on and then that one moment of Genius got their away win absolutely for the striker that we’ve spoke about he only needs one chance you know what I mean that’s exactly you need in this particular game and Celtic have got a striker that’s

Capable of that and you’re saying now Rangers have got players coming into that for now they’ve done exceptionally well for as a team but s has been the one for me it’ll be interesting to see him today because of the way the role he plays I think he’s been a very big

Player for Rangers and this is obvious I think this is his first occasion in this one stter y score line then is it a scoring draw yeah it is so some goals so that’ be good to watch and to listen to this afternoon you reckon Barry what do

You feel I know we spoke last night so I wouldn’t be against coming away with with a point but I I think Rangers are capable of getting a three points today I I do honestly think but we spoke at the start of the show I do think Rangers

Will have a go at Celtic and I think that’s the right way to approach it if you go and you sit back and you allow Celtic to dominate the ball then I think you could be in a bit of trouble so I think as I said the way the Rangers play

Now they’re very well set up when they’re attacking which is so important because obviously Celtic have got the P the movementa and kyogo and the craft oy and Callum McGregor’s one player that you can’t allow to dictate the game and I’m sure that’s what’s been spoken about

Inside the Celtic dress room if you let Callum have a bit of time on the ball he’s got the ability to create things and so I think that’s important but I do think Rangers Will Come Away with the three points such a special player isn’t he K McGregor yeah absolutely I felt

After the first 5 10 minutes I he dominated the full game you know and I think that was down tactically we spoke about it I think this manager has played more canwell in that area today so that’ll be interesting because they’ve done that before and it worked

For them at I broos and has setup is slightly different and Camp plays more in that role so it’ll be interesting to watch it going forward but as I say I’m really looking forward to I’m excited about it you know I’m excited I’m nervous all these things been I say I’m

Always praying for the that result you know where’s MAA going to be played is he going to go down the left yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays in the left hand side because he’s done well um against James tavani so that’s been a real fight and I think as I said

I just don’t think he’s back to his Fitness yet I know you’ve got to play him get his Fitness but the last two games he’s not looked back to himself so hopefully today his Third Time Lucky he comes in with a big performance Barry James tavir Celtic would want to pin him

Back because he’s so dangerous top scorer for Rangers and MAA he’s been missed yeah but he looked Rusty at Dan’s part but listen that’s because he’s he’s missed a fa bety football but um I think that would have done him the were good playing 70 or so minutes um against D D

Um and I think that will be a plan that James Tav here is um a real thorn in in sides when he he he getes down that right hand side he’s been a brilliant signing Paul he’s he comes up with so about so many arguments about is he good

Enough is he is he this is he that in my opinion I think he’s been an excellent Rangers player I really do um his numbers speak for itself but overall defensively you can say he struggles at times but listen what he what he brings to that Rangers team and with goals and

Assists is is phenomenal and for 300,000 7even or eight years ago I think it’s been an absolute bargain he could become a Rangers great if he brings the title The only thing it’s against him is obviously trophies when you when you lead a team you need to obviously walk

Up the stairs and and lift trophies but listen he’s he’s left one lifted one sorry a couple of weeks ago and I’m sure that’s G him the it’s give him the taste it um and as I said today I think he’s going to be massive for Rangers Peter thinking about

Celtic and Matt oy a bit of magic from him today could change the game absolutely you know and he’s been outstanding as I say I think I bro he showed me how well he’s doing against the ball and I think that’s going to be important for him because getting in

Front of that back line at Celtic and and especially the center backs is going to be so important because as I said I think they’re going to attack them a little bit more and I think K’s going to be more in that position today so like

Say Callum have got to be aware of that especially see that get to the B Lane that C’s not arriving late they’re in the tunnel already that moment you both spoke about earlier on Barry you were saying last night you remember standing next to for example Bobo Baldi and just

That the physicality the height of him and I’m thinking there never even reached shoulders so I never looked at him I just kind of glanced to the side of me but at that time um SEL were real physical presence and I think Rangers have got a we bit of that today they’ve

Got balagan goon lrom SEMA ders and and that’s something listen Rangers I want to play the the game want to get the ball on the the floor but I think set pieces could be key for and against and Peter you made a good point it’s a blow

CCV being out but Steven wellsh you think attacks the ball really well does it very well and I think he’s aggressive he’s not the biggest but he’s very aggressive and he’s got good timing which is very very important doesn’t matter how big you’re if you’re not a

Good timing and Steven’s got that so it’s just a matter having the game leg he done well against fard against a very good Striker so I’m pleased to see that he’s got an opportunity he’s been here a long time now and he’s enable replacement for Carter Vickers Rangers

Have come out as they do these days in the derby and the old fir the Glasgow dabby they come out with the track out top on Celtic have come out in the traditional Hoops I can see P smiling at that bar have you got a view on that

Would you did you prefer wearing the track or would you come out with the blue on um no I think we just come out with the strip oh it’s always good to come out with the strip on just walk out with the strip on it’s been cold so tell I did think

That this morning though in the weather that uh I know they get the big bucks at this lble Jack I did I did yeah was the message thank you yeah bit time you get your jacket nearly fits me good on here your about my height isn’t he he’s

Not the biggest um for looking at the referee there so Nick Walsh I’ve mentioned him a couple of times this week he a huge game the referee there hasn’t been too many controversies in recent games let’s hope today it’s about the game itself and not you know refereeing de let the referee

Referee the game that’s the biggest thing you know we know what decisions are what decisions and we can tell within split seconds if they take it to four and five minutes just do work Peter wants the sound up in the background there we shouldn’t be talking actually she’ll never walk alone going

There there’s a pictures of Brendan Rogers just looking as Celtic go into the Huddle I look back at the game this morning I look back at the game at I Brooks you know the highlights this morning in Sky you know they play 30 minutes of the most recent games showed

You Rangers winning 3-0 at the end of last season in the sunshine and then Celtic winning 1- nil in the sunshine at I Brooks but it was just uh it was silent when kyogo scored if Rangers scored today it will be similar and how will the Celtic fans react if Celtic go

And score and get the crowd behind them and get that momentum that’s taken them to what 11 out of 13 titles it’s going to be some afternoon Peter final word from you before we well there’ll be plenty words coming score line are you changing your mind no I think it’s going

To be a one-1 draw but I hope I hope I’m wrong and hope it’s Celtic Victory obviously and bar score line two1 Rangers two1 rangers he settled in guys you okay we ready just the pies at halftime are from excellent Bakers from L Hall bar brought them in

I’m not taking one game’s under way it’s Rangers the best steak pie you’ve ever tasted excellent lovely well there’s two steak pie and two men’s pie I love the I let you have the St thank you thank you right game’s underway and it’s Rangers first on the attack ball through from

SEMA looking to release moslin but it goes all the way back and Joe Hart gets an early U touch Celtic playing left to right as we’re looking here on sky so as the cameras as from the main stand Celtic left to right mat Ry there or is

It Bernardo um with the gloves on Peter yeah I know changed but it’s interesting saying that about M that they look very alike they do don’t they yeah they do even the way they wear the socks and everything like that you know it was that Bernardo as Rangers try to come

Forward at Liam scales he’s tested there by deser does well plays it right first touch to Steven Welsh of course he came in at the start he scored Celtics first goal of the Season didn’t he against list he’s never let him down as I said t

Come on as you say Aline and whatever and he’s he’s an important boy about I think he’s been a Brandon spoke about the fact of the way he’s trained exceptionally well and a great support for the boys that’s been in front of him who have just been better it’s the Go

Radio football show with global Eco energy Paul Kun lucky to be in the company of Barry Ferguson and Peter Grant the two of them there’s not much about this game that they don’t know Barry you spotted something can’t Well’s just gone down and push on him yeah K

McGregor’s a bit late but it’s important that he when obviously Rangers don’t have possession that he’s R about Kum McGregor and doesn’t let him and dictate the play but this is a big aftern for canwell he’s playing in his favored position just behind the the the striker

So I want to see a big performance from him cuz he’s been in and out hasn’t he this season yeah well he’s played in the left played in the right but obviously the number 10 slots the the position where he wants to to play and um since

He’s come in and played that position um he’s played pretty well good goal against M at the weekend and I want to see him getting Beyond ders at times as well um that’s important that he just doesn’t stay with his midfielders that he goes and makes runs off the the main

Striker Peter be the first test B wide free kick yeah and it K MCR he’s given two quick free kicks away so it’ll be interesting show would defend it with as you were talking about the height bar was talking about ear on coming in from the right from from Taver it’s headed

Away it was poor wasn’t unlike him cuz Taver is so good obviously delivery is exception there’s no doubt about that he’ll be disappointed there because that’s an area of the pitch where I think um Rangers can um get the better of Celtic it’s interesting Paul he

Playing made on the right you know and play keeping pal on the left against James tavar so that’s interesting so I’m glad to see that because I think Palmer’s definitely better on he’s not got the pace to go by anyway one I think when he steps inside then he’s he’s got

A problem he’s got that delivery if he delivers he’s got to deliver much quicker than he has done in the last few weeks he delivers quickly it’s a fantastic ball it’s in the box and sometimes undefensible three minutes gone Celtic nil Rangers nil it’s going

To be a throw in to Rangers maybe too early just at the start of the game I know only 3 minutes in but when kyogo drop shot either goon or balagan are going right in with him and they’re not leaving it to the the central midfielders which is interesting yeah is

Because I think that’s what brenon had been speaking about and that’s what Matt have been saying to get Beyond so if they they come out be interesting to see if they can get across you know and get in behind Rangers there with h an effort from tavanir speculative one it’s gone

Over the bar past the post and it’s taken quickly by Celtic coming forward here’s K McGregor up over the halfway L but that’s a good tackle John Lindstrom well that’s what he’s been excellent at since clemont’s come in um doing the the dirty work he’s been doing it really

Well and that was important cuz Callum McGregor was on the break there but one thing about John Lindstrom is he’s a very good athlete as well he can get about the pitch which is important good interception a chance for Celtic yeah it was a good break all started with the

Fact that the thing I spoke about earlier Center back’s not passing to each other Liam sces got it went out straight between the lines and picked out the pass and good play by kyogo got past one couldn’t get past two Defenders as Leon balagan is on the ball he must

Pinch himself Barry and say I’m back he should have left in the first place in my opinion Celtic come forward it’s kogo into the box he breaks can he try a shot he’s got MAA with him tries a shot has it gone for a corner butland has yeah it

Was butland who save Peter I’m quite surprised he looked slow there goal in the turn I don’t know if it just caught here it’s yell as it’s played them on side but the two center backs are too far over you just couldn’t get away from

Him and to be fair goson stayed in there and forced them wide but it’s Celtic’s first effort so I said to kogo gives you a problem if you give him the ball early so the corner kick is being taken now to the near post up goes Conor goon balagan

Gets to it first I think and it’s can’t well back helping the defense down here on the touch line at the main stand side we’re watching on Sky Paul Cooney with Peter Grant and Barry ferson good play by cwell loses two players takes on maybe one too many but still with

Rangers it’s lrom lrom to Sterling bar that was good defensive work by kwell yeah listen we’ll talk about his ability going forward but you’ve you’ve also got to do the side that Paul and track back and he’s come in there and helped his Defenders po touch there by yilma it

Falls for Matt O’Reilly but poor ball forward to MAA who can’t control it is nobody really gripping it so far Peter is that what you would say five yeah that’s you expect that in this type of game Paul you know it’s always hurly Bly you’re trying to put your marker in

You’re trying to get the touch on the ball the pitch is holding up a little bit cuz it seems to be a lot of the snow’s melted obviously and it’s changed the the movement of the ball you can see that when the players are trying to run

With it the ball’s sticking a little bit so I think that’s when you were talking about y’s Bad Touch I think he’s trying to take out the water really you know and it’s just went too far away but this is what you expect the game breaking

Down just with bsing out for throw and then it will settle well sometimes yeah bar you sometimes say you can tell in the first 5 10 minutes who wants it more I can’t discern that but not’s got a footh hold in the game yet that’s important thing but listen it’s 100 m

Hour they’ll just try to find their feet at this moment in time it’s bit Scrappy there’s a few passes going astray um but it come down hopefully in five or 10 minutes you just never want the game to get away from you and sometimes when you

Get a couple of touches in the ball early that set play but it was a poor rers coming forward chance for Rangers ball into the box Joe Hart gets a foot to it still in the box cwell left footed can go for the shot still in the box

Cleared by aliser Johnson bar that was a real chance yeah that that’s an area of the pitch where I think Rangers can exploit C Tak the left back area Mosin great run I think it was Tav that played a very good ball through he’s drove it

Across and there’s a bit of scramble I think k m could have had a pop earlier but listen it’s that was a good move by by Rangers it was a big chance as you say bar down the side of it and once they’re in there it’s very difficult any

Ball across the goal but Celtic defended it well finally you know but to get into that position that Ranger will be lighted that if mcos gets in there more often see that’s what I like about M he’s very positive you see he’s just want to run forward he on side there

It’s a great ball by Tav here to be fair joart does well blocks and drawart did well in the last game at iooks watching it back this morning you realize Fair number of saves sometimes with the foot as he did there but his Rangers just now

Camped in the Celtic box in the last couple of minutes but good play by Matt O’Reilly rushes off a Rangers player uh Lindstrom plays It Forward Captain where Sterling behind him so he’s been caught there Celtic coming forward MAA down the right one and one with but that was poor

Peter um can’t get round a player there but still in play and it’s cleared deser is back defending that was a chance there for Celtic it was a big chance and that’s what I’ve said about his Fitness levels don’t look up to the levels he’s

Been because every time he’s had a one V one in the last few games I’ve seen him he’s knocked it and he’s hit it off the defender or he’s given cheap possession away but it was an opportunity it turned from Celtic as you said the way the game

Has predominantly has went from Celtic our Rangers attacking to Celtic attacking good here come Rangers coming forward uh down the right mosin’s doing well for Rangers bar they could have done better there canell couldn’t quite yeah I think K Mill thought Mosin was going to come inside but obviously

Changed his run to go the outside but that’s one thing that Rangers have got now and the way they’ve got genuine pace and players that are very direct um with seean obviously mland they’re looking for the ball that but creating space as Celtic now come down the left Palmer

Plays it in looking for a Ry Ry left footed into the box Falls for MAA takes one touch good defensive play Rangers clear it falls only as far as Alistar Taylor 19 Alistar Johnson 9 Minutes gone nil nil Celtic coming down the left Palmer Palmer tries to get around Tav

Here would you want Rob mlan he’s been a good signing oh it’s not commentary of course that’s why I’m not allowed near a commentary box um P Celtic a b of pressure now Steven skills I’ll get you for that one Andy W his last night it’s a corner for Celtic coming

Up make a mistake that was a thank you right back to the match 10 minutes gone Celtic n Rangers n it’s been a great start for a supporter if you’re watching because been end to end you know it’s been set plays for one or the other here’s the ball whipped in headed away

First time comes back to Palmer Palmer looks to take on a player plays it in pamed Away by Jack butland Celtic players coming forward Taylor Taylor out to the right is it Riley left footed just chips It Forward looking for Palma Palma still with a chance there Peter they’re just

Not getting I think I think he’s got to do better it’s a great ball at the back post I don’t know if he should go with his left foot and just play it first time back across a goal or go for the volley and I know it’s obviously he’s a

Talented boy but that’s what I definitely thought he should been more selfish there car McGregor tries to win it he’s in a tussle with cwell he regains possession the Celtic Captain Barry is nonstop isn’t it end to end good stuff Celtic coming energy levels are Sky High Palmer down near the corner

Flag just in front of the green Brigade chips into the box great chance for Celtic just pass the post Peter what an opportunity for Bernardo absolutely it’s exactly what I said Paul Palma’s got the ball and he’s done it first thing we said get the cross in the Box Bernardo

Goes for the flick here doesn’t get enough on it but you think me at the back post is he going to get in but at least he’s going in at the back post there was a bit of pace on the ball tried to get there but first big

Opportunity really goes to Celtic it’s the hardest thing to Mar a Midfield Runner absolutely and one thing um Celtic done up at Den’s part where obviously Bernardo normally he plays in that hold know I thought he was good for for Celtic um breaking fall forward so

Rangers need to be wary of that and that’s up to lrom and stering to make sure that they follow the the runner wasn’t a great summer of signings for your old team Peter Grant but Bernardo is now beginning to prove his worth I’ve been impressed with him Paul I’ve seen

Him he about his he’s he’s worked really quietly because he wins the ball back and then plays simple passes you know to be fair he’s got a good energy about him but he it’s funny to say that because he looks one paced but he’s not he always

Seems to get there and he gets in the Box and he makes good runs you know so bar said that but he’s a good footballer as well so all round game’s been impressive Barry’s been a foul there on goon Bernardo you saw it back yeah down

His ankle a we bit listen look he’s I don’t think if I’m been honest I don’t think he meant it he just that Split Second too too late you enjoying the game so far Barry nil nil yes no Ser it’s St is it it’s end to end no doubt

Um Celtic have had the best chance so far with bernardo’s header as Yas comes forward for Rangers up over the halfway line gets away from maida place it in but he’s played the wrong ball and it’s picked up by Greg Taylor Taylor out to the right for it’s going to be a

Throw in for Celtic just below you can see Brendan Rogers there and the coverage he would be well both managers stating the obvious desperate to win today but neither of them would be too unhappy if it was a draw look a long long way to go Peter but I think Brandon

Would be disappointed Paul because you’ve got a home game you’ve got all your support in the building you’ve won at I broos this puts your marker down we winning two Celtic Rangers matches you’re winning both that’d be the way you’d be looking at it and listen if you

Take care of your other games which Celtic haven’t done so far this season you know you win the league that’s what goes a long way to winning the league you know so this is a big big game for us what a poor ball there Peter for giving Rangers a chance up over the

Halfway line moslin does well but scales good tackle he been excellent Paul he’s been outstanding since he came out the side you know he’s all around game and I know he’s had a couple errors here and there but and predom he probably say Celtic player of the the season so far

He’s been that good I know mat he’s been outstanding but for a young man coming in who wasn’t part of the group really and he was going to be out and Loan he’s been absolutely outstanding what Rangers saying at the moment Barry the ball’s G all the way back to Liam scales yeah

That’s one thing I have noticed about Rangers listen they like to get the ball on the ground but also they’re not scared to go direct um but that was a way would Wayward pass by Connor goson and because they got a physical presence up there in deser look he’s he’s not

Been on fire since he’s come in but one thing about the big man he’s a physical presence and he works his backside off he sure does and he came so close to creating a go for R last couple of weeks I’ve seen an improvement on him it’s

Clear that they’re doing a bit of work on on him and on the training ground um and he’s he’s a player I’m desperate to do well Paul I think there’s a player in there I do that’s my worry exactly what’s happened there a Celtic defense Tipp ta and it’s come to Sterlings

Played it in Des Des Inside the Box plays it to canwell don’t know what canwell tried to do there I would rather Des there just goes and and has a go your but all came for about six passes between Joe Hart Liam scales and Steven Welsh I just don’t understand it they

Hadn’t done that earlier and a mistake there by balagan balagan who almost caught out there but Peter you’re right that’s the why I don’t I just don’t understand that I really don’t they positive play and all of a sudden you’re passing five six passes across the back

And at times I can understand if you’re killing the game late in the game whatever but when you do that just brings Rangers further up the pitch and Rangers are not going to stand off like they did at I broos they’re coming after the ball you can see that the way

They’re set up 15 minutes gone it’s nil n Celtic on the ball at the moment as the ball’s played through or Ry plays it through to kyogo edge of the box but he’s beaten but is that moslin back there supporting as nobody’s getting top of it bar are

They but this is a good move by Rangers up to the halfway line it’s young Mosin his first game forward he’s got space can’t well can’t well 25 yards out is he going to try and a pop he place it through looking for somebody down the right but there’s nobody there he’s got

To be aware SEMA sema’s made a good run there I know K Ms want to take the player on but he’s got to slip in SEMA there he’s in full floor see at that stage so he can play it to the left hand side as you just see here if he just

Rolls it and between the center back and a field back Sea’s get the pace to get in behind here he went the way Celtic wanted him to go absolutely if he plays it first time Sea’s right in and he’s he’s in Phil P you’re not going to get

Across to him Steven Welsh there took a bit of a knock Pat but I think he’s up and he’s fine that’s the problem you know you’ve just come back from injuries you don’t know I think it was an ankle injury had I’m not 100% sure I think it

Was an ankle injury had so you’re always a bit conscious when it goes to his ankle holding his ankle fre free kick for Rangers Barry yep I know only half minutes in but Sterling he’s impressing me big time and he’s just a chance you know what he looks so comfy in the

Middle of the pitch first booking of the lunchtime game it’s a great touch B SEMA there um yeah it’s a foul Johnson yep so it’s the first yellow card Al to Johnson Peter no complaints there no no complaints he’s went three or four times to try and get him there and that’s a

Blow because Sima is very direct and quick alliser’s got to be very very careful now you don’t want that’s one of the ones Grant to see if I’m on the pitch now I’m sing to see every time you get that ball you attack Johnson absolutely and that’s the problem you

Have you know when you get an early booking especially in that area of the pitch so having enough in the middle of the pitch but being a fullback could be a disaster you know times especially with someone with Pace Peter could be a test here for Joe har good delivery y

Connor goon’s up there Palmer is shadowing him so it’s down the left hand side Yas is over it so to is Taver who’s going to take it my slight concern here is all Celtics smaller players are the first guys yeah m is there so run across the front could

There could be a problem 17 and 1 half minutes gone Celtic nil Rangers nil is tavanir chips into the box a poor one who headed away only as far as Lindstrom Lindstrom place it forward and it’s cleared by very unlike very unlike his deliveries are are normally on point

He’ll be disappointed with his his last couple y m is in there’s no barage today if you’ve just tuned in but John lrom has made it as as Conor Goldson and for Celtic abada and atti as expected on the bench Bernardo is in the Midfield alongside McGregor and O’Reilly the Go

Radio football show Paul kuny Barry Ferguson Peter Grant nil nil we with global Eco energy Here Comes Celtic down the right headed unorthodox way there Peter by daon maer but nothing to no p no as you say it’s not the sort of the ball he’ll be looking for either but

Talk about Bernardo I think he started the game well I think he’s been in control and possession of the ball he’s picked up good areas he get in the Box made a good run in the Box he a good start to the game come Celtic down the

Left McGregor started it goes out to Palmer Palmer Peter W H there he just it was unlucky because I don’t know if it’s Greg till has made the run in the inside and it’s just Greg either went too quick and not changed his feet quick enough but it was a big opportunity actually

Out nothing this is going from end to end it’s now Rangers up over the halfway line Abdullah Sima good ball through for mland alist Johnson tracks him plays it back to Joe Hart and the guy with 75 England caps plays it up towards the halfway line but it is picked up by lrom

Lrom fit as we predicted last night forward to mcos mland se SE uh well over the top yeah good passage you play there can’t m in mland we back he um seem will be disappointed that he’s he’s not at least hit the target there definitely because it was good play by Rangers and

They got into that edge of the box as Barry says but you you’d expect them with the for he in to actually it’s either got to be blocked you don’t miss a target with that much 18 yards out other games this afternoon there’s mother against Livy here in the west

Huge game as we see the cameras on in fact that Roy Keane there of course former Celtic player for a short time in the early 2000s and he’s just sitting behind Cameron Carter Vickers and lagger belela so Roy Keen in town Barry so I wonder what he’s thinking about the old

Firm Derby as the ball is played still 20 minutes gone nil nil either side in top Peter I suspect no no I think there’s been a patch where Rangers were in top Celtic been in top for a little bit created good chances Here Comes Celtic into the box a great ball through

To ma maa should have scored there for kyogo what Happ best chance of the match there’s a best me exactly what we’re talking about but I don’t know if he’s given offside he’ll hope it was off it can’t be offside but is off yes he can’t be

Offside that as a wide player you know we keep saying it time and time again he doesn’t need be off abely his pace and that’s what I think you can get at yelma is that defensive side of it so he doesn’t need to go early so it’s a big

Opportunity and then he puts a pace in the ball whether there’s too much Pace on the ball and kyogo can’t get there but as I said it was a big a big opportunity and a big chance for him threat to Rangers there yeah that that’s um that that’s an

Area of the pitch where probably Cela are looking to exploit as well same as I said about Rangers with with Celtic um MAA his pace is is electric but again must be frustrated Brandon Rogers he doesn’t need to be offside there with the pace he’s got so red van needs to be

Aware he ball watching he needs to be aware with me is it’s going to be a big shift for him today redv van yilma um as Celtic play the ball back this is the thing that Peter Grant you quite rightly say Peter Wy a bit of Tippy tappy at the

Back it’s this time it’s played from Welsh to Alis Johnson Johnson charging down the right hand side up over the halfway line for maida the Japanese International scor at the World Cup gets to the by line overruns it though better better for red yep yeah where he is it

Was good play to play out because that was different Paul because what they had done the last one was they went for Joel to scales back to Joel back to Wales back in back in this time they went 1 two three across and forward then and I think there’s a slight difference in

That that’s good play the other one you just will tell you more people pass square or back you’re delighted cuz you can step up and press the ball and as I said to you a Celtic come forward chance for Celtic oh just past the post what a

Strike there by Paulo Bernardo I thought it was in I thought it was in I thought it that below he won the ball back see see there I think it’s Taver has played that mland but you’ve got to be aware that there’s three or four players round about mland see sometimes

Granted just get it and play into an area absolutely you’ve got that’s what I’m saying bar I can’t understand and you can see what Rangers do for the kickoff they’re going into the front man so surely the The Defenders have got to realize that Celtic are pushing up the

Pitch the only way you’ve got to you’ve got to get buy them you can’t try and play and square them because exactly what happened what we’re talking about for Celtics exactly what’s happened to Rangers there you can’t take your eyes off me I get they want to play and

Listen it’s good when it works but there’s there’s a point where you think right I’m putting my teammate danger if I’m giving the ball and give him giv him the ball in a certain area well sometimes you take it out your feet and play it up the line as Celtic come

Forwards played through to Bernardo or is it oil they’re so like Peter aren’t they h bernardo’s on form though isn’t he as Celtic come forward again down the left Greg Taylor what the options for him Palmer goes in a run down the left but he cuts inside to Bernardo Bernardo

Has he got options uh poor pass but it does go to Palmer his is a poor pass and it’s just bobbing about there at the edge of the Rangers penalty area back to butland who clears it up towards the halfway line and it’s just headed on there by deser but it’s good defending

Paul because they’re not playing split they’re playing against the the attacker when you’re playing against one some people like them standing in between I don’t like my Defender to be making sure he’s marking the’s cleared you can be in a a battle with them you know because if

You don’t and someone’s got that little bit of pace you slip and all of a sudden they’re thr your goal 24 minutes G it’s call MCG sweeps it out to the right to D mider mider back to McGregor McGregor he’s got canwell on him immediately plays it to

Greg Taylor Taylor to Palmer the hurrian can he get into the box can he beat to player plays it for Greg Taylor he just gone over the top was that a corner a corner now starting to get a bit of a grip on the game that’s this is where

Rangers need to remain solid and compact um cuz they’re starting to get the the ball they’re starting to shift the ball for side to side and stretch range a we bit so Rangers need to be war that corner kick in this near side the main stand side at Celtic pars going to be

Taken by LS Palmer who as we know has a good delivery on occasions he scored a few goals as well right footed plays it up and it’s headed away but it falls CH go for Celtic Celtic have scored after 25 minutes and it’s poo Bernardo came

Close twice he finally hits the back of the net 25 minutes celtica one up what a fantastic strike we’ve said it about him we thought he’s he start his game has been excellent and he’s H that wonderfully well but he’s got to be careful here I know he’s went to he’s

Got to be careful the boards have fell there with the fans on so he’s got to be careful but what a wonderful wonderful strike it sure is he’s gone over to where the green a head you’ve got to head it just put it back where the balls

Came from P header but don’t take nothing away for bernado it’s a it’s a brilliant strike and but sema’s got to do better with the defensive head are there oh it’s fantastic technique but I don’t know if they’ worked on here because you see the way it comes around

The back end it comes around from around the back so Rangers are not really picking him up they went all the big Lads and he’s come around from uh the the back of the Defenders and picked up his area but what a wonderful hit head yeah absolutely you’d be crying your

Head through it as you say there sometimes these guys at six for don’t had the ball he jumped down the way and Peter for Paulo Bernardo I think um is the ref speaking to him oh it’s ridiculous that’s because he’s gone off the pitch now they’ll say that’s for

Safety reasons whatever God Almighty if you can’t enjoy a game at football you know we scoring a goal it’s ridiculous it’s not as if you’re going to a way support in airing shape or form one one M Time Tackle and he could be off Absol of course yeah and Alistar Johnson is

Also on a yellow card so yep true 27 minutes gone Bernardo is still questioning what happened I understand as well because you don’t want people to get Hur I understand that side of it but God on mate you’ve got to be able to enjoy a game at football with scoring

Goals it’s the hardest thing to do in football you don’t want someone injured of course of course not yeah as the game gets underway again so it’s daen maida but Yas gets in plays it forward to SEMA SEMA back important few moments for Rangers Barry they don’t want to concede

Anymore no they don’t they don’t theyve been a b sloppy with a couple of touches and a couple of passes they need to um Cal theel down a we bit and just make sure they’re they’re solid and they they’re playing in their positions what you don’t want is you don’t want now

Sprinting after now sometimes just get into your formation and let the game settle down a we bit keep it simple yeah I get they want to go and get the ball but sometimes you me Grant I’ll tell you sometimes you just have to sit off and

Let them have the ball but they’re 11 man Men Behind the ball aler Johnson down the right plays it into the box it’s a chance for Celtics going for another corner at that far side at the North Stand James Taver urging his players to you sometimes after a goal’s

Considered you need to regroup you need to be organized sometimes what a goal when you consider a goal you start to run after it and people run out of positions Rangers can’t do this corner kick will be taken by Lewis Palmer swing too much on it Peter and

It’s going right that’s about six times youve done that in the last few games I think that’s about the six times I know he sometimes he tries to score I understand that but it is so frustrating when you’ve had an opportunity to put Rangers under pressure again and as I

Say Celtic turning the screw a little bit at this moment in time but bar will tell you this is the time you’re talking about the concentration Bernardo has been booked Johnson’s been booked you need to keep these players on the pitch because they make a slip all of a sudden

The players off the pitch so all these things come into it especially in this game when you think momentum’s with you you think everything’s going with you and all of a sudden it just changes so you’ve got to keep in control of yourself in your emotions you’re not

Going to beat Jack butland are you from a corner kick um I wouldn’t have thought as the ball’s back in place played all the way back to Joe Hart Hart he’s got options there with Liam scales scales place it across the back for the central Defenders playing it out to Welsh Welsh

Is working this time to aliser Johnson the Canadian International who joined Celtic what a year ago wasn’t it just now when he joined just after the World Cup yeah he’s done terrific I think the last few weeks he’s not been his best I must admit I know he had an injury and

All that sort of thing so he hadn’t been at his best and he’s come back into the side I still feel he’s still up to the the quality he shown I think he’s been an outstanding S I think he’s done exceptionally well but I noticed early

In the game when the ball was cleared he was the last one coming out the box and Rangers played it back in first time so all Rangers players were on about five yards that’s concentration is absolutely as Rangers come forward now there’s H 15 minutes to go until halftime the ball

Spped in by Yas headed away but it’s still in Rangers possession Todd canwell plays it right to sterling sterling out to the right to Mosin mccoslin looks up what are the options plays it far post but too much on it SEMA I don’t think that’s the worst ball I think sema’s got

A gamble there at the back post I really do cuz sters has went to make the front Post run then Sima has got to go and make the back Post Run um I thought it was a dangerous ball there did you see was standing in the middle

Of s James T right in the center Celtics six yard box he’s all alone that’s why he gets the goals he does when the ball goes out everybody else picks up he stays in the Box because he knows the ball’s still alive Peter I don’t know if

They give you at the Celtic TV but here you get pies at halftime I’d s for that the one at the moment just so you know Bar’s recommended them anyway yeah they’re good the steak pies top class if this goes 2N Celtic you’re not getting one Peter that’s what bar saying or if

Rangers equal you going have two yeah I’m just walking at the studio that’s what a long way to go we’re just what onethird of this match at Celtic P which is as you would imagine rocking at the moment the green Brigade came back against Livy what last weekend seems a

While ago but they did and Peter undoubtedly the uh the atmosphere is back to what it was before the atmosphere was excellent I mean as I say it’s you’ve got to have the atmosphere you’ve got to make it a place where people don’t want to come to we’ve all

Been there before we understand the reasons why or we don’t understand reasons why whatever way you want to look at it but for me it’d be great if the Rangers fans were in as well along with the Celtic fans because we see even at the hibs and Hearts game how

Important it is you know so I would love us to have behind the Rangers again and vice versa Rangers with Celtic Rangers fans sorry not there today the Celtic fans are watching Celtic oneup it’s going to be a throw in for Celtic Far Side this is where you need a bit of

Calmness on the Rangers team this is where the leaders need to stand up and the boys about them who have not got much experience in this fixture they need to just make sure they they’re on side and the they’re Cal and their situation cuz Celtic now are starting to

Get a a grip of the game big time and that’s obviously the Conor goon’s lrom Taver Taver um big butland guys like that a Celtic break into the edge of the box it’s Greg till In The Box plays it forward to kyogo kyogo tries to get around a player can’t and is cleared

That was a chance Peter I thought both players should have went been more of kyogo and I think it’s Pao Bernard maybe is even Greg Taylor I just think when the balls there to be one in the Box you’ve just got to go for it I think You’ just got to be more

Aggressive in what you’re doing there what I’m saying there Ball by alist Johnson’s a chance it’s DES deser in the Box he’s got can’t well with him chance for Rangers G down he took too long Barry in this I know I think he’s aware he can’t

Well making the run into the box here once he takes this touch here he’s got a hit it a touch to extra and he’s allowed Alistar Johnson who played a horrendous ball back he’s he’s allowed them to get back in and get the the challenge Peter

Oh he’s very very lucky but I think we could have a problem here with Steven Wills Steven Wills done a slay tackle and that looks as if he’s held done his shoulder so this could be a problem for Celtic warm up nooski at the moment as I

Said to you earlier there about alist Johnson’s concentration levels a simple pass back that changes everything all of a sudden dominating all of a sudden they’re looking on your back line and Desa should score sorry he is in trouble there isn’t he I think he’s done his shoulder the way he slid he

Done yeah he’s speaking just now with the physio you can the pain that he’s in and there’s nooski that chance in these sort of games you might only get one chance and he’s got to have the attempt on goal look I I’ve backed him and I think he’s improved over the

Last couple of weeks if you look here he does great nips in but he’s got he’s got to have an attempt look I think he’s he’s unsure he’s unsure he’s thinking well I play a C M will have a attt on goal you’re a center forward have a pop on goal but he

Doesn’t seem to be a natural predator so far I think it’s just that confidence Paul when you’re you’re the best you don’t even think about you’re through there because there is nothing alist Johnson can do because he can’t touch you he’s off the pitch if he

Touches you so you’ve got all the things in your favor and he’s just got back in and it’s quite surprising that he’s not t to touch early and we’re seeing uh just a few moments ago he’s he’s laid that back for kog I think he’s got straight through that ball there yeah

He’s dislocated his shoulder yeah so Peter nooski coming on hasn’t been seen for a long time SE for what4 million he’s got to be ready Paul that’s it you don’t get second chances in this game you know what I mean and that’s this is that moment that can change

These games and when people tell you about what do you think the score will be we don’t know Alis Johnson’s pass back an injury you know two bookings early bookings you know all these things become come part of the game now you’ve got a boy going on and I couldn’t tell

You when his last game was so it’s going to have to be a big performance because there’s no doubt Rangers are going to have a goal and try to put under pressure on the back line Celtic because this is a back line you wouldn’t thought was going to be thrown together but it

Is and he’s just got to go in and perform he the biggest thing I would say is whenn your first header and make your simple passing keep it as simple as you possibly can and that’s all you can do in that position as you know he was born

In Germany but he’s a Polish youth International player 35 minutes gone Celtic have to make that substitution for Steven Welsh who’s been so unlucky being injured early in the season comes back for the game here and at the weekend and he’s out so nooski is on 10

Minutes till halftime the camera is on Sky showing us there Philip clong just the pitch side just speaking to his bench as Jack butland clears it up over the halfway line um Liam scales it’s bit untiy there certainly got a break of the ball and it’s come to Greg Taylor down

The left what’s the option it’s Palmer Palma who’s on the left some thought he would be um the other way around that MAA would go down the left Peter would you make a change or is it going well for Celtic and leave it as Celtic come

Forward again down the left Matt oy oy looks forward to play to kyogo it’s headed away but it’s still with MAA Peter yeah I just think Alis Johnson ran in the outside not the inside because there was no way M could have made the pass inside and that opened up the full

Pitch for him as in the Box this is terrible Ball by scale sorry picked up by Taver played it straight to the Rangers captain he down the right bar yeah I see what he’s doing here as I think when tavanir plays out Des he’s got to take the Rangers up the

Pitch Drive 20 30 yards up the pitch then wait for the support to come but un TIY in the last two minutes yeah you’re looking at both teams here and I’d be saying to them listen look for your pass forward because I think both teams are vulnerable with a forward pass and at

Their back line or beyond their back line and make them run into the space conditions and the players they’re playing against don’t like turning and Celtic have got two young center backs as in this um type of game and you can see there that s has made a run and

Young norovsky you say it he never seen him never seen him and if tavani picks a pass he’s threw goal and that’s the moments if I was both teams that’s what I’d be seing because I’ve seen that with Angel balagan going across too far maybe line on his Pace forward mosin’s got a

Chance he’s one-onone Mosin great chance for him but it comes off a Celtic Defender two Defenders came up quickly but it’s still with Rangers through to canville canville shoots saved by Joe Hart two big chances bar yeah just just a long ball for Jack butland I don’t know where Celtics Center halfs where

Have I’m been honest with you moslin gambles gets Beyond Greg Taylor and then Celtic get it blocked and then there’s a I don’t know what Philip clemont’s do here he’s going off his off his head card I think here it’s just a a nothing ball yeah and what M does brilliantly as

He gambles Greg Taylor Switched Off it’s a good block I think they’re asking for hand ball just seeing the replays here Philip Leong not happy speaking to the fourth official and obviously an opportunity there and he strikes on goal doesn’t really bother Joe har yep yellow card

Philip Clore welcome to Celtic Rangers M exactly I stay calm I like to you know everyone says that until they get into the heat of it and there’s a a howler there but it’s gone back to Joe Hart who is that is that nki oh my goodness maybe

Look just been on 5 minutes but MOSI there almost played the ball well I’m telling you the managers I played on there every one of them if the center halfes were doing what these boys are doing passing it back to the goalkeeper are passing it Square to each other he’d

Have ripped the head off them at half time and said look forward and play forward give it to your fullback or give it to your Midfield that’s your job son and then defend properly I cannot believe the chances they’re taken and that’s what I’m saying now for Celtic

Being in control there all of a sudden Rangers got re fo again two two or three fantastic chances out absolutely nothing yep Celtic have been rattled at the back losing Ste I don’t mind that for the manager either he’s should a about passing on the sidelines I’m I’m into

That I like that um and listen it looks to me if it’s Fired Up by rers players in the last couple of minutes as well Le balagan down the left is where he can use SEMA SEMA that’s going to be Corner yep good tackle there from navroski

Naoki Peter done fantastic I thought he was away from him s to be perfectly honest with you I don’t know if he’d get the ball and hit to off Seer we’ll see on the second one but Matt’s going to be lucky if he gets away without the

Booking here the referee played on from earlier on the tackle on balagon yeah it is another yellow card that’s three yellow cards Peter in the first half all Celtic players that’s what I’m saying that’s just when you’ve got to be in control you can’t keep breaking the game

Down and then getting silly bookings because we’re giv cheap possession away in good areas and that’s what’s happened every time we given cheap possession somebody’s either get a booking or an opportunity for Rangers set play this is the delivery has got to be decent canwell is going to

Take it five minutes to go till halftime Conor goon’s up there as you expect Liam scales is on him nooski there’s deser with mattelli who of course has just been booked so here’s the corner kick into the box headed away and falls for Bernardo who then HS it up towards the

Halfway line John Lindstrom gets to First Greg Taylor down on the right here and it’s gone out of play it’s going to be a throw in Peter what you thinking there well I’m a bit edgy just now Paul because we’ve lost control it there and I thought before the goal we had good

Control and we we were playing well and then we get the goal and you think great fantastic and then we started really well after we got the goal and then all of a sudden for that pass back for Alistar Johnson the game is swung on its head here then you’ve get because

Obviously you get the injury to Welsh you had to bring on a new center back and Rangers are smelling a little bit of blood just now and the right to mland Mosin edge of the Box takes on a player shoots and it’s Sav by Joe Hart and

Cleared but it’s still on the edge of the Box a real chance here Rangers still in the attack James tavanir he’s got support in the shape of sterling sterling to Lindstrom 30 yards out chipet forward trying to bring SEMA into it SEMA and Johnson and a tussle is

Going to be a goal kick yeah see that Mosin direct positive strike on goal it’s a brilliant it’s a oh it’s a it’s a brilliant strong hand um and has be want your Center forwards about that area of a Celtic I’ve cleared it but that was

Real good play by mland I like that as soon as he gets the ballp his first thought is I’m attacking the fullback don’t know the referees holding the game up for here is a v what they’re looking at here and they’re looking for a hand ball or Sima and alist

Johnson yeah give his break if he’s going to give a penalty for that for God’s sake nothing in it bar is there I’m the same but you know the way the decisions go po that do penalty the hand ball inside the box he would be off then as well yep exactly and that’s

Exactly what we said these moments no play on says the referee but you do have the gamees change now bar just sees everything yeah um and Alistair Johnson you’ve been critical of him Peter Grant because he has made a few mistakes and you’ll have to be really careful but

Referee Nick wol says play on 3 and a half minutes left in the first half St listen as we said Paul they very very fortunate it’s been they’ve been very lucky you know Celtics since we’ve scored the goal at then well has caused a we B Mayhem to be perfectly honest

With you but I can’t believe the decisions that certain players are making I know that it’s a big game for a lot of them for the first time the RO going that just come in play forward if I was call in that now say listen get

The ball out to Alis Johnson but Al Johnson’s probably been the starter of it the nervousness with a bad pass back and it caused the injury obviously with st will try again win the the ball but everything negative for Celtics so far Alis Johnson’s made the heart of it and

That’s un very unlik him because he’s been outstanding for Celtic and on a booking would you have to think of a change at halftime and bar to rang just smell blood maybe before halftime but it’s Celtic coming forward up over the halfway line Celtic one up and the goal

Coming from Pao Bernardo as Celtic come forward nooski to MAA MAA to Callum McGregor McGregor looks to play it to Palma I think it’s going just as far as the head of tavanir tavanir loses out though to Bernardo he’s played forward looking to bring in good play there good

Defensive Play Bar yeah I like that for the young man um it’s easy to get switch off at times but one thing about young mland does he he does a defensive work really well as well Paul I started the game very well to be fair him it was a

Fantastic sa for joart by the way was and the thing is it was as bar said your Strikers have got to been there but the defender was thankfully was there first to get when he striking the ball got snuff blood stri definitely here y man’s up towards the halfway line tries to

Play it to um SEMA SEMA goes down takes it quickly I think he’s got one more foul in him that’s the problem bar yeah again the referee’s gave about three free kicks against him now since he’s been booked and I think Brendon will change it if you’re Tony rson you get ready at

Half time he done it I think was it last week or the week before he done it against hars I think yeah I think you would uh be thinking of that two players have gone down there we’re going to see what happened the Rangers in fact it’s young

Ross mland along with K McGregor think it’s going to be a free kick let’s see the replay that he’s in late I think when he’s made the pass he slid as well it’s a free kickick yeah it’s easy for a young man to roll about there yeah absolutely he

Got back be fair young man he’s just bounced back up Ross the Boss is that what you’re going to call him Paul there’s nothing better than seeing a young player come through the system and I’ve got to be honest I’ve been so impressed with him he’s refreshing yeah he he’s just energetic

He’s really positive what I love about him is when he receives that ball he’s got one thought and one thought only that’s to attack who he’s playing against Bernard generally you see players now in a wide area just want to pass the ball back and let other other

Guys swing it into the box injury Time free kick for Rangers up to the edge of the Box bit of pushing going on now this is where the goal came as you know at I Brooks a few months ago it was the first goal of the game it was kyogo our

Rangers going to bite back celtica one up we’ve got uh just over a minute of injury time to go two minutes added on by Nick Walsh uh celtica want to get in Peter without any further bookings absolutely I think Bren will have to settle him down as well because since

The goal or since the mistake for Alistar Johnson I keep going on about that they’ve been really poor they’ve had no control Rangers a couple of opportunities to score goals J had to make a big save and that’s you’ve got to be very especially when you’ve changed

Their back line a Celtic tried to get the last play of the first half 45 seconds to go up over the halfway line but Rangers well intercepted and it’s John Lindstrom forward to Todd cwell cwell tries to get away from McGregor plays it to balagan balagan to Lindstrom

How’s Lindstrom doing for you bar it was uh he was key he’s key for me Paul he’s been excellent as I said he’s he’s been alongside Taver he’s been Rangers most consistent performer it was important that he come back in at the F Today l Palmer baffles some people he had a

Chance to have pet it just came off him um when he could have been put through there it was through James he was caught out position you know and it’s his reaction after it was disappointing at first he’s not fighting for it so what’s happening we’ve played the 47 minutes

It’s going to be a free kick for Rangers Sterling looking at the refere wait to see what’s happening I think L gave the free kick which was quite surprising you can tell with Kum mcgeer’s reaction is there anything in it well he’s not got the ball to be fair but

Okay the players put his leg in which you’re saying if it for your own team you’re looking for a free kick for sure but Celtic have given far too many free kicks away in these areas with both sides of the pitch you know and you’re you’re hoping because I’m looking at you

You’ve got balagan against Bernard things like this you know and it’s just he’s about four or five inches bigger than him the good thing is he’s not got any quality on him so far coming into the box but usually he quality’s top drawer Rangers choreographing this bar they

Know exactly who they I think T saying there that he needs a front post Runner if he under hits it okay sometimes that that happens the delivery’s got to be good at sh Mass this time into the box headed away but it’s still there can’t

Well and the ball is in the net but already the referee saw offside and the Hunter’s going up that will be the last play of the first half Celtic disappointed in in Rangers delivery if he set pieces um generally it’s very good I’m sure that’s something the

Manager will not be too happy about Taver I know it wasn’t him there he’s not been in point has he with it normally deliv you I think we’ve given him massive chances here because if you’re saying is not to give fre kicks that’s where Celtic have given every one

Of them away in the dangerous areas especially when you’ve got the quality that James tar has got and ym seem like a good left foot as well 48 minutes 42 seconds are up at halftime the camera is there on sky on poo Bernardo who scored

The only goal of the game so far and it came in 25 minutes as we see the teams heading off the pitch we’ll give analysis opportunities to Peter Grant and to Barry Ferguson halim Celtic one Rangers nil the G radio football show with global Eco energy for your free

The world and with us here we’ve got two people who’ve played in many of them Peter Grant of Celtic and Barry Ferguson who led Rangers to much success as well we’ll speak to you after you can call Barry and Peter who’s going to win celtica one up at halftime the goal

Coming from Pao Bernardo in 25 minutes took it really well but then just moments later um an injury to Celtic Steven welshire to go off injured and navroski has come on Celtic of three bookings in the first half Alistair Johnson and Matt O’Reilly and was Bernardo as well for his

Celebrations just after getting the goal Peter enjoy that excellent pie I had a little bit there thoroughly enjoyed it tasting brilliant both s it sounds good sounds enjoying it Barry for Rangers first half there was a lot of good things in it for Rangers but they they

Switched off at that the set piece yeah just five minutes before obviously Bernardo scored the the goal I thought Celtics start to get a foothold in the game um it’s a I’ve watched it now twice on the the TV and um it’s it’s a poor

Goal Seer I think he knows when it hits the back of the net he blasts the ball back into the net he knows he should have done better with the header and then obviously the two really good opportunities um one from mosan who’s done really well in taking Greg Taylor

On and made Joe Hart make a really good save and then the ders one where he’s got to make Joe Hart save make a save at least have an attempt on goal so he’s took one touch too many and he’s allowed alist Johnson to get back in but I think

Rangers finished the the half strongly and if I’m looking at Celtics back four at this moment in time I’m going at them that that’s got to be attitude in the Rangers rest room at half time and Johnson whether he makes that change if he stays on I’m saying to see every time

You get the ball you take him on H nooski at the back looks shaky in my opinion and so Des has got to play on him and I think Y young mland has has gave Greg Taylor a hard time in a few occasions so Rangers are still in the

Game it’s only one now um but they need to do better in the second half any other winners so far for you from Rangers how’s k wellbean um in he that okay I I want to see more from him y that’s his position I need to see them

Create more um have more attempts on goal have a bigger influence on big games um but I think overall Rangers that the manager will be expecting more of all the players that are on that pitch certainly in the second half but as I said they certainly finished the

The half strongly and they need to continue that get into the second half Peter what you thinking about Rangers and what they might do they’re not going to make a change at halftime do you think Celtic will make that change I think I think they will and that’s just

My opinion and knowing the way Brendon works and it’s a big blow because Alis Johnson’s a very good player but as I say I think as I said earlier on there was one of the times incident the ball come back in whether he’s 100% fa I

Don’t know the ball come back in he was five yards behind everyone and it was just a ball that was hit me cleared out from a corner and he was five yards and usually everybody comes up in the lane together that said alarm bells ringing

In my head and then he gave the pass back so maybe there’s something we don’t know and as managers have been there when you’ve had a play that’s been l or not slep well the night before all these things but that’s definitely the way I fly played the first half you know but

If I’m Rangers manager and you think right we where how can I hurt Celtic this second half I think you’ve got to play forward you’ve got to ask questions the Celtic’s back line that’s what you’ve got to do if I’m Celtic I’ve got to get control of the football with the

Football players we have in the middle of the pitch and when we get in there make their forward passes make the crosses in the Box make Rangers defend and don’t give silly set plays away yeah no I I I agree with that I’ve seen the the Alistar Johnson hand

Ballings and I think that’s a penalty po I do was that his hand yeah I think granted mention I think he’s got to deal with that ear he shouldn’t let that ball bounce in the Box he’s just got to head that or clear it whatever it goes up in

There or into Rose and I I think it’s a a clear hand ball well he’s definitely gave the referee a decision to make yeah that’s for sure because when he swung around as if his hands coming up to that area UN list we’ve seen them given there

Is absolutely no doubt of that but yet again he put yourself in that position with doing that where I think we were always told when the bo balls at its highest just go and meet it don’t let it bounce as a Defender don’t let it bounce

In your box or whatever and that gives you a problem that definitely did give Alis Johnson a problem Joe Hart’s done well for Celtic hasn’t he a couple of vital moments for him he one with his feet which he’s he does very well but he had a great sa for Mosin because mosin’s

Done everything right and he’s driven it l hard and George got down very very well and people say whatever age he is now and he’s lacks this and lacks that but I’ve told you in every big game he’s produced a performance and there’s no doubt in my mind that he’s a big time

Player on the bench for Celtic Bane Abad and I’m going to ask you about him will he come on Yang turnbo neos’s on already oh hatti do you think hatti would come on or AB was there any need to make that change well I think the three Central

Midfield players have done well I’ve not been that sure with me I said that to the last couple of games I know it’s when you for a period of time try to go up to speed and I understand that there was a couple of times you had an

Opportunity to go byy in a one V one the one at the back post he gets in at the back post he does that very well I’d love to see AB come on um and I know it brings a different type of energy but he’s still a goal threat he’s direct and

As I say it depends how much he’s trained I don’t know about that but obviously I understand why m is playing because he gives you that energy but I’ve not seen that in his performance he’s not and I think Yelm is there for the taken defensively half time 1 nil to Celtic

You can’t change your prediction but uh you thought maybe a draw pet I hope I’m wrong cuz I said 1-1 I hope I’m wrong I hope I’m wrong could be right and Barry 2 one you think for Rangers not going to change it but they’ll have to go some

Now as the team come mid front are really dangerous but I think defensively they’re really suspect Paul and that’s an area where Rangers need to um go and do something about cuz they’ve got the strength of ders and they’ve cly the pce mland and and sea to do a bit of damage

So I’m sure the manager will be drilling that in in at half time so we’ll see now that’s in the way out and we’ll see how this second half um this 45 minutes goes CU it’s a big 45 minutes for Rangers yep and for this Bernardo coming out Peter

You’re watching no doubt for aliser Johnson or is it going to be Tony rollon it’s Al still on there Al are still on there he made that quick change he’s got to be very careful and as as we’ve said many times these are the small details

That can cost you the game or win you the game you know and that’s so so important and hope his experience tells him I’ve got to get there I’ve got to stay on my feet got to put myself in position because he can’t go into even a

50/50 now because it’s all about timing now everyone’s got to be perfect for Alistar Johnson because as Barry spoke about he’s with probably two free kicks or three free kicks since the yellow card you know and it’s something that definitely the referee will be looking at and that hand ball obviously has been

A feature of it which you didn’t see it nobody did yeah but I mean we’ve seen countless replays Paul and um yeah for me I’m not just saying it with my bloods on here I honestly think it’s a penalty you’re always Fair well I’d be claiming

It if it was me you know absolutely I’d be claiming it and I just think it’s back yeah again it’s bang average defending and I think you can’t do that as should put s in that sit what you said Peter that sunpie isn’t it steak Pie New Year’s coming okay on you

Go give Pizza a few moments bar will be quite happy if Rangers are on the ball yeah getting ready I see Brendan Rogers there just uh shaking hands with the B boy and the girl there and what’s he telling them Barry if it’s a Celtic

Throw and get it straight back in and if it’s for Rangers no I’m joking the stuff that you do Paul you do anything to try and win a win a game of football it’s brilliant football isn’t it you know for everyone involved in the game as gu

I thought the first half it was a a bit quality but the energy levels were was really good I mean two teams were were having a right go to each other as I said Celtic began to get a footh hold in it that’s when they got their goal I

Thought it was P defending by by Rangers and then towards the end of the first half Rangers certainly come into the game a few mistakes from Celtic well as things stand at the moment there be there would be eight points between them if that was to be the case but there’s

45 minutes to go as the game is now underway and then they start to think about Celtic playing St mirin the last game 5:00 on Tuesday before the break and Rangers at 3:00 against karik I wonder what the shape of things are going to be by then so Global radio Glo

Global Eco energy with us here on Go Radio that was always going to happen at one point this season yeah no it wasn’t actually I know you should have well it should have been as uh Celtic come forward over the halfway line the balls played out to the right to daen maida it

Settles down again it’s quite quiet there uh in the background at the moment it was uh not the case after 25 minutes when Bernardo scored a Celtic come forward kyogo edge of the Box strikes and scores kyogo scored 1 minute 17 seconds into the second half the ball

Played through to him the Japanese Striker scores from the edge of the Box 2N Celtic what a wonderful finish you know we talk about players been out for him or whatever and I keep saying he keeps get into good areas but for him this is even a a spectacular finish with

His with his left foot he’s moved on to his left and to beat someone like Jack butland who’s been outstanding it is a magnificent finish bar took it so well just looking at the ball there two men round I know everybody’s going to talk about the Finish watch his movement yep Conor

Goson think he’s going with him and then he checks back gets yourself that couple of yards Grant if you watch it absolutely and then listen take nothing away for the Finish it’s a a brilliant finish Jack gets his his fingertips to it but it’s the movement it F that

Opportunity for me oh wonderful goal as you said bar fantastic movement and he’s more than capable of it is interesting cuz Barry was saying about him get after him in the first half now you’re R about 18 Yard Box you’re saying that’s when you’ve got to engage that’s when you’ve

Got to be tight but his movement gives him that couple of yards cuz I think goson thinks he’s going to run front and he checks back and then gives himself that and it’s a good pick out the Pass ski Center forward absolutely going long to come short he creates that couple of

Yards he obviously FS Corner goon into that and then um he takes it on his his weaker foot and it’s a a finish that Jack but’s got no chance of saving so Peter Grant what a Celtic what’s the what’s the message just now for Celtic two up keep calm keep play forward yeah

Keep getting it to the wide players making Rangers defend them we keep saying that and it was forward all forward passes they never went Square across the back they looked forward and you have to do that in these particular games because you want to take the opposition out of the play and that’s

Exactly I think it’s mat he’s played the pass in toyogo he’s lifted his head bang straight into the striker feet after good movement of course but there’s still a lot of work to do but wonderful wonderful finish for Rangers Barry what does the manager do he’s maybe looking

To the bench as well um they would they need they’d want to bite back soon pull one back yeah again I always say Paul no matter if you you go one now down or two n down this next five minutes is crucial H for Rangers what you don’t want us you

Go and looking and chasing the ball for no reason just make sure you keep your shape and then the game will eventually settle down again and then you need to try and get on the ball get the ball players on it like guys who can make a

Difference Mosin sea can’t well um but it’s it’s the ideal start let’s be honest for Celtic it’s cmed a bit in nerves which I’m sure was there towards the end of the first half they certainly were wer they you could feel that absolutely I could feel them myself you

Know maybe something the manager looks at now alist Johnson situation because yet again you can be in total control but you don’t want to lose a player and obviously Celtic are dominating the ball just now it’s a fantastic start to the second half exactly everything Brendon would have wanted but you know what

These games can turn in a split second so Rangers trying to regain possession but Matt O’Reilly does well plays it out to the right to daen maida maida little flick keeps the ball in play plays it infield to Alistair Johnson Johnson looks for options uh who’s behind them

It’s Greg Taylor plays it out to Paulo Bernardo who scored Celtics first goal in 25 minutes out to the left to lose Palma Palma can’t get past James tavanir and you wonder if there will be a change soon if you bring on Tony rson why something i’ definitely be looking at

You know there’s no doubt in my mind that because that’s as small as we keep talking about the details that can change these games and you don’t want to give Rangers a foothold anything whether it’s a player EX or whatever oris’s got to use his vast experience played in

World Cups does he just C himself play position and just let the ball do the work granty in that situation I would take him off cuz I think he’s got one more free kick in him and he’s got he get a red yeah you know and that’s my

Only concern if he hadn’t had any more free kicks in say yellow I’d be okay but I just think the way things are in the game the simple things how these tning have seen it B you’ve played them many occasions as well how they have turned

In a simple thing like that Celtic play out from defense they do it well in this occasion bar I’m going to look at the Rangers bench in a moment or two what are the options for the manager as Celtic come forward out to Liam skills down the left he’s looking up for

Options um Bernardo goes on a run so does Greg Taylor it’s uh LS Palmer now place it to the far post where maida connects still maida he’s got yma with him looks up for options MAA he’s been quieter hasn’t he Peter is yeah he has been very quiet I think maybe that’s the

Reason Brandon played him on the right hand side he was obviously desperate to play him and maybe that’s why he’s kept him on the right because he knows he’s not up to speed yet he thinks Palmer maybe to get the game legs and to go back if James Tani starts running

Forward and that’s why he probably kep him on that side of the pitch I can see the reasons why played through for kyogo but he can’t slip it through as Rangers come up towards the halfway line but Liam skilles collects for Celtic and plays it through looking for Palmer It’s

The Go Radio football show with global Eco energy Celtic 2 Rangers nil 52 minutes gone at parkhead as Lindstrom good ball out to the right to cwell up over the halfway line he’s got scales there he gets past scales plays it through for desas but not a great ball

But Rangers win a throw in Barry and they they would look to I’m looking at I’m looking at the bench as well Paul not many options yeah you’ve obviously got a bit of pace with Mondo and and right um yeah I I would keep as it is for the

Next um 10 minutes or so as Rangers come up over the halfway line but the ball um stop play has stopped I need to see a bit bit more aggression yeah from Rangers yeah I need to see a willingness to go and grab the game I know it’s

A a kick in the sword ones we caned my goal so early in the second half um Peter what’s uh holding up just now really that’s a sword one that see when you somebody’s cleared the ball and it’s hit is on his toe and it it opens up

Media there yeah I hope that’ be a massive blow if we lose M ear that’s for sure so we’re waiting to see what the verdict is so been offsiders yeah uhhuh yeah for the Rangers oh is this four earlier yeah that was one ear yeah that was one earlier they looking at

But I’m not sure so they’re saying that would have been offside I think that’s what they’re saying Paul I’ve got my cans on so yeah I know James might hear it over there on the tell no yeah I think they were say I think they were saying that it was slightly offside I’m

Not suur because you’ve got to remember it’s when the ball leaves his foot I don’t think the ball had left his foot yet Celtic 2 Rangers now 53 and a half minutes gone in the derby we’re just uh still plenty of time yeah oh yeah for for Rangers that they can’t start

Feeling sorry for theel there’s still a lot of football to be played but they need to you think get a grip of the game as quickly as possible loads of you in the cars heading to the other games this afternoon mother against Livingston kman against dund D Killy on such a great run

Fourth top of the table hars against Ross County and Aberdine against St mer St Mar up there and they would love to take some points it’s been a tough December for St Marin after a brilliant start to the season yeah it has been but listen you know what they do they’ll

Always give their maximum try to do the right things they what really really hard as a group and listen I think there’s a piece of paper between everybody outside Celtic Rangers you know they’re all capable beating each other on on a particular day and it’s the one you get that little bit of

Fortune you know you need your best players to play well on the day and that doesn’t matter what team you are but I think there’s there’s no golf between any of the other teams if you understand what I’m trying to say you know Celtic Rangers yes there is but the rest of I

Don’t think there’s a golf Liv in danger of ending in that well the bottom of the table if they lose to motheral today it is looking Grim we spoke about it last night with you Barry on the program m r still getting treatment that’s been quite some time that’s three or four

Minutes Peter well I thought actually see you see ball HS his toe here you know and you think what it’s that but it’s a swinging elbow or swinging arm but it’s an accident it’s totally accidental but his arms come around and hit him and it’s a sword one you could

You’re not going to say he’s got a big nose but will have one now yeah that’s for sure he’s took one right totally accidental yeah thank you James time during the match here Philip clong huge moments for him nobody isn’t it he hasn’t he hasn’t tasted defeat no

He’s not and but sometimes this makes a team po um and I think you you’ll look at the the team and and know that he needs to strengthen I think he knows that before the the game but can any the confidence that Rangers had and the mentality that that they’ve shown over

The the N9 or 10 weeks since the new manager’s been in I think he’ll be he’ll be disappointed um certainly with the the first goal they conceded PA I think that’s avoidable I know it’s a brilliant finish take nothing away from him um but you got to um defend that better and

Then a second goal to bonish is just a a bit of brilliant movement from K go to create his his space and then um he strike on goal Jack but’s got absolutely no chance of Matt ory what’s the latest Peter we see I’m looking look a bit

Concerned really you know as if they’re going to make a change I hope that’s not the case hopefully as just can be obviously if you’re bleeding you’re not allowed on the pitch but hopefully you can stop that bleed in matfield cuz listen you could be i’ L seen Stars

Actually the way he was hit there there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind of that but as I say I’m hoping they don’t need to replace him because he gives you that calmness and confidence you need in this particular game is it true your game improved when you were

Seeing Stars what happened there L of stars apart from myself what happened there bu sloppy big corner obviously Jack but’s played the ball out he’s tried to switch it to yield Mass um and obviously he’s put it out the part so sloppy for Rangers they they can’t allow

That to creep into the game cuz Celtic could nip in and get third which would be game over although if Rangers can hold at the moment and start to press Celtic then they’re capable of getting a goal and to pressure the Celtic defense which had to change cuz Welsh went off

Nooski is on and they were struggling a little bit Peter yeah absolutely there you know there’s absolutely do that but I think the silence that Barry gave you when talking about the bench yeah that tells you enough where angers is bench when you’re talking about Celtic if the

Boys are up to speed you’re talking about hatti AB you know oh Al Co I must admit I think he’s got something about him but they’ve got people that can change we don’t need to think about you can play them in you David turnos had a

Lot of games you know all these guys can come on and your hope would affect the game if you’re looking at ranges you’re starting to see right who do we the place the strongest guys are on the pitch now do they go with something slightly different go with a little bit

More Pace maybe L take out a cwell you know and put someone else further up the pitch you know and put deser through the middle and not des’s simmer through the middle you know to change it a little bit because obviously they need to score goals in this period here come Rangers

Down the left long ball into the box looking for deser but it’s headed Away by Celtic one0 by lrom Midway inside the Celtic half 58 minutes gone celtica two up in the derby and it’s back to balagan just inside the Rangers half he plays to goson out to tavanir tavir to mland we

Saw so much of him in the first half not so much in the second but Rangers now Yas down the left MAA though backtracking with him but he does well Yas breaks just to the edge of the box but it breaks down moslin though on the

Ball bar Rangers good spell in the last 60 seconds yeah mosin’s come off his PCH and come inside and created a bit of room for himself y m with a good drive and run it was just that final pass for mland lrom out to Taver heads it down

Trying to bring this is what they’ve got to do Paul they’re putting a bit of pressure Now you kind of be giving balls a b like that can’t well lost out there but good tackle by Sterling although it’s uh you’re in the final you’ve got to be decisive you’ve got to make sure

It gets to your your Midfield partner or whoever’s playing beside you and that was slack for can’t well there I wouldn’t be surprised if the manager Chang because he’s a poor start to the second half and you would you expecting him to step up I think he’s a poor start

To he’ be frustrated and there was a couple of times he gave the ball away and sort of held his leg or whatever and clont always talked about you know that energy that fire that you’ve got to keep going and Chase the ball back soon as

You lose all these things and Todd’s not done that in a couple occasions when he’s actually given the ball away do John Sterling bar he got a yellow card there yeah so yeah I think he’s done pretty well in the middle of the pitch po I’ve been really impressed by him um

It’s a for position to him he’s generally a a fieldb at a a center back but I think he’s coming went to that Central Midfield area and made a certainly made an impact 60 minutes on the clock now Celtic leading by two goals to so Rangers getting a bit of

Possession in the last couple of minutes coming forward over the halfway line Todd cwell again but there’s a push and it’s going to be a free kick to Celtic as the Celtic fans do the is that the posin they call it the away from the

Yeah the Huddle I think is to get the huddle with the full Stadium it’ been nice you know Rangers just come in the last couple of minutes start to a we bit of foothold on it and looking at it and you’re just thinking Celtic have to concentrate Naros get a good Block in

For Mosin because Mosin looked dangerous at the time here comes lrom over the halfway line who’s with SEMA SEMA into the box to deser deser good chance but it hits the side netting for the big Striker Des yeah at least he director he should have been doing that in the first

Half of the opportunity he commit a Defender and then he has a a popor go he’s got to hit the target but he’s got he’s got to make Joe save oh people say B if you’re going to miss in that position go across a goal exactly cuz if

The keeper saves it comes back into play all these we simple things and that’ll probably be the thing that he’s down the left hand side twice now good areas you’ve got to make sure the keeper working at least their Mark has comeing gone so we do look for any changes in

Both sides of Celtic now back in possession Taylor plays it all the way back to nooski but he didn’t look too comfortable in the ball there Greg Taylor did well Peter to regain possession yeah and to fairos got himself in good position a couple of

Times at the edge of the boxing got a couple interceptions to be fair to the kid then it can’t be easy for the period of time he’s been out as to him in and it’s okay maybe if you’re playing along long with an experienced one but scales

Is experienced one now who the season abin obviously played very very well this season but that experience a Carter Vickers pulling and dragging you about positionally especially in a a game like this is so vital P you see the value of kyogo player of the year last season and

In that moment when he scored just over a minute in into the second half and that could be the deciding factor in this game as Celtic come forward looking for goal number three rangers would love to break to get their first of the afternoon and they’ve got a chance here

As the ball is cleared but only as far as scales we’re watching it on Sky some great coverage there with the Crocker and K this is Go Radio with global Eco energy how’s mat really looking there Peter just saw close it looks if his noise could be broke actually but as I

Said there was absolutely no intent whatsoever um the boy didn’t deserve booking there anything like that from it but it was just a fleing AR him as he tried to turn but the thing you spoke about kyogo we said it before I don’t think he’s out for him if you give him

The service he will score you know that’s the way he is that’s that’s the type of player he is and he’s got that quality but in saying that I still think it’s a wonderful wonderful finish Bar’s talked about his movement was was exceptional it’s small details like that

But to finish the way he did with his left foot by a goalkeeper of the quality of butland you know is phenomenal what’s happened there Bar’s down he’s L goson he’s been already booked Bernardo yep yep so Bernardo in no he’s I thought he went

Over the top no he’s not over the top there yeah that’s where VAR is really important because to the naked eye it looks yeah it looked here but then again you make a good point Paul you think he’s studs have connected with his shin or whatever but he’s it’s clearly not

He’s not even lifted his foot there is he when he as you say I was a bit concerned there but as you say he’s went to clear the ball then kicked barnardo you know but to be fair I think the referee’s refereed it quite well the penalty kick

Would be a decision the penalty kick would be a decision you have to think well I’m not sure of that one um but apart from that I think he’s refereed it quite well he is a good referee I said that the other night in the show a few

Nights ago and people went okay um I think Nick Walsh has been maybe the most consistent the last couple of Seasons as Rangers come from forward desert’s edge of the Box the ball’s played out towards lrom but a play has gone down uh SEMA clutching his face there would have to

See the replay you would need eyes everywhere wouldn’t you the pace of this game aliser Johnson up there yeah this if this is an infringement by Johnson they both went for the ball Barry would do you think look I think he’s going for the ball but his elbows clearly connected

With with Sea’s face Peter my is that the fact that the referee’s given a free kick if the referee’s given a free kick he’s going to say it’s an elbow and he’s already been booked that’s my problem and I said that way you know I think

He’s been one of these days I’m a big fan of his but I think he’s been really slopping I hate saying that about players because you don’t know if they’re not feeling the greatest all he just looks off the pace today for some reason you know T say to goes and leave

It I’m telling the referee Taver is saying to the referee if you book him he has to go yeah yeah actually when you see it from an angle now y Barry that does look that elbows up Peter there was an angle when you see it from behind there but as

People talk about soon as he slow show slow motion it looks completely different yeah but he is a if you’re doing it from the front yeah he could be lucky we’ll wait to see what’s going to happen here SEMA has been down for 3 minutes now I’m I’m just really

Surprised when Celtic went two a that aliser Johnson’s Still on the pitch this is exactly mean got replacement exactly backup and I’m more than capable I’m more than capable Peter you’ve gone blue in the face no there no blue you have you’ve gone blue in the face you’ve been saying

It for half an hour because I just think that’s the way gamees been if you understand what I’m saying sometimes you can sense it if it’s somebody’s somebody game is going that way they’re not having the greatest of game sometimes and especially if you had a yellow card playing that position against arguably

Rangers most dangerous forward you’ve got to make sure you’re covering that Barry what’s the switch for Rangers D yeah I think it could be cwell coming off um and Dell going to replace him um that’s the only change I can see happening Paul i’ I’m been honest they’re checking I’ve confirmed

It’s offside yeah so so if he wasn’t offside it would have beenen yeah wow so it’s been stopped now for what four minutes just seeing it again that’s why they’ve not went because obviously theyve looked at offside first yes yeah Sim’s okay he’s been down for it’s

Very unlike him he’s getting up now thankfully I’m saying if Nick Walsh has seen that and he’s down and he’s given the free kick what’s he given the free kick for he’s going to say well it was an elbow and if it’s an elbow B A booking or a a red card you

Know and I’ve got to be fair if it was if it was a player for Rangers against the C I’d be saying the exact same thing you know yeah it’s clear to me listen again I’ll say it I’m not just saying it because for Rangers point of view but I

Would be absolute F that you’re still on the pitch chance for Rangers here 67 minutes gone it’s going to be a free kick for Rangers James tavanir is just um look probably to take it y m is there as well Peter you all right about that somebody

Lying down in the wall I know all see if you dink the ball over the wall yeah they all fall over them sure here we go watching this Celtic two up rageous chance to come back in he’s got to make Joe har save here it’s going to be Taver

Isn’t it here he comes takes three steps shoots straight into the wall comes back to Yas who plays it to lrom lrom 30 yards out dinks it forward it’s still bobbing about and it’s going to be cleared by Greg Taylor that was a chance though wasn’t it bar to to hit the

Target to do better yeah again generally but we spoke about he said a couple of free kicks um in a wide areas his deliver is not been up to scratch and genuinely when he gets a free kick 20 25 yards out um he normally scores or he at

Least Hits the Target and makes a goalkeeper make a save there’s a change coming Del who to be honest with you I was very impressed with for park at the weekend I haven’t seen too much of him technically really good I thought he took his goal brilliantly but what I

Like him the conditions were horrendous and I thought he caugh with normally you get technical players that are I’m not into this kind of weather because it was blowing a gale and P in R but I thought he he handled the situation really well and I was impressed by him no he’s a

Good player but i’ seen a lot of him do in England and he went in orig and really struggled a little bit to get game time I don’t know if that was done he kept breaking down injuries and whatever but there’s no doubt he’s a talented

Boy 22 minutes to go plus stoppage and there’ll be four or five minutes there as Celtic come down the right and uh Alistair Johnson he’s been off it yeah he’s been off definitely his day today why wouldn’t you take him off now I don’t know any reason why you’re not

Especially now you’ve got Scott right coming on now so there’s another bit of pace whether he goes out against him I’m so surprised I’m looking at I can’t see there Tony rosson’s on the bench right yeah absolutely that’s what I’m saying I can’t understand the reason why even now

Because he has no chance anything if anything goes wrong now for anything mistimed ball H in his hand anything he’s off David there’s another change for Rangers Paul sea come off and Scott wght come on SO sea will play no more after that injury Scott Wright is on

Never seen much SEMA today I I wanted to see a bit more cuz list and his forms been been great for Rangers um but yeah he looked a bit lost today and turno coming on Peter you yeah I’m listen I’m a David turnbo fan in the respect of

That because I know it’s not easy to play for Celtic I understand that but listen some of the things he’s capable of you know that I just play with sometimes and it it’s maybe his body language at time he feel as if you could give him a a Jag but there’s no doubt

He’s got a quality and he can score goals from middle of the field which is always important but he’s technically very good as well it’s going to be a throw in Rangers Midway inside Celtic half waiting for David Turnell we’ll see who is going to go off um Barry and

Peter thought that aliser Johnson would go at some point poo Bernardo the scorer of the opening goal and what will that do for his career Peter I think he’s been excellent but even since he he’s one of these players that goes through the game you don’t really see much of

Him because he gets and shoves it very quickly or he intercepts and passes very quickly all these we think so by the time he’s given the ball away and he makes runs in the box and doesn’t receive it but he it the day and got an opportunity and then he gets his goal

His goal is a wonderful wonderful strike but so far I’ve been really impressed with his performances for Celtic as they come forward looking for a third’s going to be a red card it’s a red card for Leon balagan it was one in one there and

He’s got the red card Peter oh he’s I think he’s said a bit of a have some words there one of the Celtic players Leon balagan there’s not need to listen he’s he’s been given the red card what happened here ice pushing fing back yeah see there again what frustrates me

Sometimes even it’s a sloppy pass and you’re getting put under pressure just put your foot through it just get it out the pitch or get it up the pitch whatever um so it’s going to be a long 18 and 1 12 minutes plus injury time for

Rangers now Peter Well it gives you the strength of made there he put the pressure on closed them down and made them not go out the other way so he’s T to touch and The Bad Touch with it and all of a sudden it’s put him in a position now

And then he’s brought him down so you know think Grant bit when it goes in there some people are too scared to put their see if I sensed any danger my foot would get through the ball and you know what it may be go the pitch or right

Through the goalkeeper but listen you’re you’re getting that away for danger yeah everybody can shoot at you but it’s a away your goal and you’re still on the pitch we’re just down to 10 men and goals down 18 minutes too plus the stoppage and there’s uh the young man

Who’s covered most of the pitch especially in the first half he been the best Rangers is best player and I mean in and out of possession he’s worked exceptionally hard Barry says he does the right hand side very well I think he’s done that exceptionally well but

Also that on the other side of that what I think he’s done well is he’s positive when he’s got the ball he’s the one that’s passed the ball I don’t think he’s had many turnovers in the expect to give him possession away I think as his teammate should have be helping him

Actually him has been the opposite way we and about he’s been The Shining Star for them as Celtic come forward then they’re 11 against 10 and it’s Matt O’Reilly plays out to the right to ma but think going to make a change I think it’s sensible cuz you bring another Center

Back on take somebody off shut up shop a we bit and then you may get a set piece and you might get that goal back and you never know what could happen so I think that’s good management Sutter yeah I mean I’m guessing looking at it I would bring John Sutter on

Peter that does make sense doesn’t it as Celtic come forward again they would love to get goal number three up the pace in the movement to kyogo and MAA which is is going to be the problem the interesting thing is it’s they St still him as a center back

They’ve actually put lrom back there just now with the order off so whether he whether he takes unfortunately for young Mosin he could be the one that end up going off because he’s somebody else’s mistake you know because I’m looking at Brun about what else could he

Do if you want trying to get because Rangers need to try and obviously get back into the game you know so is either Sterling it’s definitely not going to be lrom does you take Sterling off um but then it’s you’re losing a Midfield player and Mosin as I say has been The

Shining Light so far ball down the left for Celtic terbo was involved for the first time plays it to Palmer terbo goes for the shot but that’s easily taken by Jack butland you’re not going to beat him from there and it’s played out quickly down the left to Yas who’s in

Today no sign of barisich again a major domestic game we’d have to assume an injury but barisich missing this afternoon it’s the Celtic Captain McGregor sweeps the ball forward looking for maida who chests it down leaves it for turble it’s a tble range edge of the

Box but he plays it to the right to Johnson Johnson Pur ball in though and but it comes out favorably for Celtic Matt Ry he’d love to get on the back of this but it comes to Turnbull we’re watching on sky as the captain McGregor has a strike but it comes to Palmer

Palmer tries to inside but that’s that’s just good defending and put attacking as well wasn’t it he couldn’t get round him so Rangers coming forward a chance there but it’s cut out by Celtic yeah no question Barry that was a I just thought it was weak for Palmer um

Cavan read him and took the ball off him and he’s went down and he’s get straight back up as soon as tavir started driving with the ball exactly and you can’t try to get people booked we know what it’s like but you don’t do that this is we’re

Not used to that here in this country you know as Celtic come forward into the box Palmer um I don’t know if he went for goal there do you think a bad might come on now listen I think it’s something youve got to look at this

Moment in time you know we have to be careful Celtic Palmer’s getting involved in little we things with James tley and whatever you just don’t need that now what you’ve got to do is get the ball do your job and don’t be all in that was

The one thing we’d have been told if we’ have tried to flick something or try try and be clever when you’re in front and dominating You’ even T off the pitch you’ve got to be professional and respectful now and do things properly as Celtic come forward the ball into kyogo

From alist Johnson what Celtic are doing just now they’re making the pitch really big that’s what you’ve got to do when you play against 10 men you’ve got to stretch your position and that’s what the Celtic are doing Rangers at this moment in time it was great movement

Again he went away behind gos then gets across the front of him you know and as I say you service that we fell put balls in the Box he’s always a danger as a Defender it must be an absolute nightmare because you’re looking over your right and your left shoulder at all times

There still 14 minutes to go plus stoppage but I don’t think many people saw this that Celtic would be too up okay Rangers now down to 10 men but Celtic um look well on top at the moment but here come Rangers 18 sorry 14 minutes to go as the ball’s played out

To the left but it goes aimlessly you can see the difference Barry can’t you’re late in the game you’re down to 10 minut coming on John I thought that would happen right John sitter coming on and who is going to come off sacrifice somebody to shut up shop isn’t

It and maybe try and get yep it’s going to be John Lindstrom now he did have an injury Peter so but he’s been good today Lindstrom listen I don’t think he’s done anything wrong he’s not been outstanding Celtic have be B domination in there cuz very good players in there let’s not be

Kidded I don’t think he’d a lot of help round about him for the ones that were supposed to be going to be the match winners the C Wells and all that and it doesn’t matter you can go about your dirty work doing all that interceptions all these things but you need your

Forwards and your number 10 to go and create something here’s turbo creating for maida maida looks up and Es SK it there’s no other word for it and uh it’s gone out of play you back in the day when you played in the wing exactly I know honestly I

Was Leal until I crossed the it was only amateur but it was the hardest thing in the game I’m trying to laugh you I know you have to yeah because this is sure y but people did you wouldn’t have seen this happen today but the still 13 minutes to go rangers

Are down to 10 men Celtic now coming forward up over the halfway line uh Kieran D who scored last weekend at motherwell plays it forward to Scott Wright getting one of his first touches that that’s uh a good tackle by nooski why is he getting involved I mean to be

Fair I think it’s a good tackle he’s tried to go up I thought Scott R did the lman is right at him I like to see in the replay that’s a great tackle he’s he tripped him up so the replay yeah is a free kick so you can understand the disappointment

But you don’t get involved as I see you this is a small detail keep the hands that down don’t get involved don’t make the game equal don’t give them a sniff because all it takes is two set plays or something that even though you’ve got 10

Players you know it’s you’ve just got to make the ball do the work as bar spoke about make R Rangers run about all over the pitch but you only way you do is that moving the ball is sharp and taking minimum touches on the ball K McGregor plays it out too Johnson Alistair

Johnson not a great cross and if you’re Tony rosson look you does this tell us about January in the future for him why wouldn’t you bring on um a decent player for one who yeah really good player but who’s on a booking and has been maybe

Maybe lucky to still be on the pitch well and many times have you heard it and I don’t mean it’s the referee’s decision but the referee’s not got a decision if alisar Johnson does anything wrong he’s off you know there is absolutely no doubt of that so for me

Definitely I mean it’s different if you no you’re going to have to play a center back there but you’ve played a right back who’s played a lot of games was Absolut i’ have made the change but I say that’s why I don’t get paid the big bucks and Brandon does indeed as he

Comes down the left through David turble out to LS Palmer Palmer can he get round Tavern here not he opts to play in it’s a good ball he plays to O’Reilly but he loses out Sterling coming forward for Rangers matched in the run there by turno it’s going to be yellow card that

Didn’t take long well that’s what I’m saying in these games that could be anybody because Callum tried to but the referee played on so there a couple of times and to be fair that the boy Sterling he’s done his job well today he’s got a few interceptions he’s driven

With the ball but you need your big players it could have been completely different Des as as chances all these things you know these are the small details in these particular games that can make a hell of a difference and now you feel that Celtic have got the

Players that can maintain the ball and when you’re a team in front and bar will tell you if you’re a team that can keep possession well which you would say the Celtic 3 and midfielder as good as anyone you’d be saying that they should never really give the ball away and make

Rangers work really really hard here come Rangers coming forward but Kieran D it’s a slight pass and it’s back with Celtic kogo he’s come deep he scored a terrific goal after 46 minutes of the game start of the second half and it looks as though that has sealed it for

Celtic but 10 minutes to go plus stoppage 10 man Rangers but it’s Celtic at the moment out to the right to the Canadian International Johnson to the Scotland International what year it’s going to be for K McGregor along with Scotland heading to the Euros Celtic knocking it about Peter that’s

What you got to do I I just think CU Rangers have got to come after you because you you’re in front and that’s what you’re always looking for when you get to this stage in the game as I say it’s once you take two and three touches

Just keep it rolling don’t give them a chance to intercept you don’t give them a chance to give a free kick away or whatever just move the ball and make them run and use that extra player because you have got that quality can do that Peter an Lov the triple substit

Ution Brendan Rogers is about to do the same in a few moments but it’s Celtic still in possession over the halfway line it’s out to the left to Palmer Palma back to Liam scales you’d have to say Barry Liam scales is um just a lesson for somebody in football isn’t it

Who’s come in with a kind of limited ability and the career didn’t seem to be yeah looked to me if it was out the door out in loan last year and it’s amazing how football Works Celtic and again kogo what a chance there but butland does

Well kyogo took too long in the ball off I think he’s offside anyway yeah again but that’s what m looks on that’s what kyogo does very well getting on that last line of you as you say he’s offside but you can see the Rangers back line

When you boys been in there’s a big hole between them right through the middle but he’s well offside and he doesn’t really need to go he can see the picture across the pitch what about Liam scales bar was mentioning him as I said I think he’s probably been the man the season so

Far his performances you know so I think he’s got better and better he’s played against top quality players and he’s done himself really well in Europe as well as in the home games I think kyogo is about to replace you would imagine it will be oh there’s kyogo going off to

The Applause of the 60,000 Celtic fans yep it’s Palma kyogo and MAA going off for abada oh and Mikey Johnson so Peter abada coming on yep I see that and I’m delighted at that because when he’s a fully fit kid he’s a a top player I

Really like him he’s only young he’s a goal threat especially as a wi player and I’m sure they’ll get a fantastic reception for the Celtic support yeah abaza has been such a favorite with the Celtic fans he’s come on with 7 minutes remaining plus stoppage so Celtic

Winning by two goals to0 Rangers down to 10 men Leon balagan sent off about 10 minutes ago jack butland up over the halfway line have Rangers something in the tank to give Celtic something to think about as Matt O’Reilly wins the ball for Celtic Celtic luk compos Peter D

Yeah but it’s interesting the manager put on and it they just lost the ball there to Sterling Sterling’s a bit of tugging of a Jersey it’s outside the box couple of players have gone down including Sterling we’ll have to referee Nick Walsh stop play and we’ll see what’s happened here sorry Peter I

Jumped in there Greg Tay down he’s down but yeah again it’s it’s one of these ones if you over run the ball it’s always dangerous and he’s been booked you know what I’m saying yeah Sterling’s been booked as well and you’re thinking if that’s any other time in the game is

That a yellow card it probably is and it and it’s a soft one but it’s a yellow card but that’s this as I keep going back to it the things that can happen in these games you caught up it you get wrapped up it you make too many touches

You be rash and it’s interesting that Rangers have put Scott right out in the left hand side to go up Johns you know and obviously the maner seen that and to give him a problem CU if he runs inside them it could be a problem for him yep

Yeah again three Subs not one of them was Alistair Johnson who’s been on that come Rangers des’s down the left mosin’s with him let’s be positive here Here Comes Des goes for a shot but it comes off nooski Barry he needs to commit the center backs he’s not committing the center backs

There cuz he’s strong he’s a strong Runner des and when he gets in that box he has to make the center back commit um and but that for me looking there that’s a b of lack of confidence B A tble tble into the box that was good play by

Celtic but a PO cross so here comes Ross mland the Northern Ireland young International player up over the halfway line he’s gone 10 20 30 40 yards and he’s been pulled down that’s the prime example I know he’s outside the box but he commits people yeah he drives at

People he makes them make decisions and that’s what I want to see Des do when he’s get thrown goal there a minute or so ago C McGregor yellow card Peter yeah th deserved I said he was lucky earlier on CU he don’t tried the same thing the

Referee let it go cuz Rangers were in the attack but that’s a couple of times I’ve got in behind the Midfield and that’s what I’m saying it’s that sloppiness when you give possession away and everybody’s just out to play you’ve still got to do your jobs properly if

You’re not in the right positions you can end up with situations like that and to be fair to Young mcos he was very direct and positive and he’s been outstanding for Rangers so far free kick for Rangers but it’s cleared by Celtic and that was a chance B wasn’t it cuz

Rangers still you know 5 minutes to go they could give Celtic something to think about but it’s certainly when you get set piece in that area oh you you’ve got to make Celtic defend there um I think some of the set pieces well not some of them every set pieces has been

Pretty disappointing um from from Rangers the delivery um has not been up to scratch Celtic coming forward winning a throw in it’s going to be a Rangers throwing on this near s side you can tell that bar says oh the build up to this game there’s no doubt this manager looked at

And probably said is there any weaknesses in the Celtic team will set plays they lose a few goals on them or they don’t get the first Contact on a lot of them you know so it’s something he’s very much Lo and they’ve been in some fantastic positions of free kicks

They’ve got and the deliver has been really poor which is unlike them is there another goal in the game for either side there’s always a chance yeah there’s always a there’s always going to be a chance in the game usually at this period whether it’s a sloppiness or

Someone’s not playing or goes to sleep and it’s Rangers coming forward the ball’s knocked down there looking for Scott Wright a chance but it cannons off Callum McGregor still Rangers in possession with four minutes remaining plus stoppage there’ll probably be what five minutes to be added at least James

Tavani the captain plays it out left and good ball through for desos desos has gone down he’s been fouled edge of the box nooski I was just about to see put yourself in good positions at times to you know he’s put himself in good blocks and buy what are you thinking just think

That’s poor defending just stand up I don’t know why he needs to do that but listen he’s he’s gave Rangers an opportunity now Rangers now need to make this count the delivery has got to be spot on and people just throwing their bodies at the ball get it in between the the

Defense and Joe har it’s a slick surface absolutely pass but had the target with these ones you’ve got to make the goalkeeper work definitely for that distance and it’s something they’ve not done so far so it’s definitely something 8 minutes added on so it’s quite a bad time that’s 10 minutes still

To go all in so Rangers with a free kick 20 yards out here comes James Taver good one it’s in the back of the what’s a goal listen I’ve been I’ve been saying about James Tav here his deliveries from set pieces has no been up to scratch

Today a free kick 10 or 15 minutes ago that hit the wall but that’s what he’s all about that’s what he’s produced week in week out Joe heart has absolute no chance of that what a strike Peter Grant I said you can’t give them chances because set plays is a big thing they

Probably work on the delivery’s not been great and sure as fate the first one they’ve got properly the ball’s in the back and it now gives them an opportunity because they’re saying if we get another set play now it becomes a problem because then all of a sudden the

Conference is there Rangers know have nothing to lose they can go for it they can put the ball forward they can make you make mistakes as we we spoke about the the bookings we had all these we things now come into play Celtic have got to be very very careful

Even though they’ve dominated the second half they’ve got to be very very careful now yeah Rangers throw everything everything at at Celtic now and you know what Paul they might can see the goal but they’ve got to go for Celtic now nothing to lose Celtic coming forward putting the ball through Le laad

Is not a great pass though and it allows Rangers to clear 10man Rangers but they’ve they’ve fought back to a 2-1 position with a minute left of normal time plus 8 minutes of stoppage as Celtic come forward Mikey Johnson getting one of his first touches plays

It out wide toy but it’s a poor ball was going away from him wasn’t it Peter that’ be difficult yeah it’s just I think it’s been sloppy play for the last five six minutes you know as I say silly set plays and that brings in and a listen I know understand tiredness and

Edginess and nervousness it’s more nervous now because you’ve lost the goal and that that’s the problem and that’s why we said listen you’ve got to keep control will keep the ball doing the work a couple of things we’ve changed the ball over Rangers have played It

Forward bar made the point Ry making the wrong Cho choice to get to tackle but he should have just stayed on his feet and all of a sudden Rangers get the goal so it’s game on you did say a draw is what you thought it could be well I hope I’m

Wrong bar you thought it’ be 2-1 but the other way around two each P look at that free kick again so yeah yeah but do you know what it’s a brilliant free kick James T here this is an area where he deliver it and here he comes down the

Right hand side plays the ball in Celtic fail to clear call McGregor does eventually up towards the halfway line oh gets one of his first touches of the afternoon plays it to turble tble tries to take the weight off the Celtic defense plays it to O what’s on for

Celtic plays It Wide to Le abaza abaza the Israeli International edge of the Box great shot great save from butland I say great shot could have been better pet I’m not sure he should attend to shot on he four players he three players outside him and it was a 4 V3 situation

I think he’s maybe got to make the pass there I understand what he’s trying to do but I think in that situation in the situation the game is in it’s one you make the pass because there’s an opportunity for to either go in this

Game yeah 100% a goal here I did ask you that before the last one so Barry you think there’s another one and it could be either way Rangers could make it 22 Celtic could make iters have gone for it and do you know what I’ve got every right to got nothing to Lo

Lose well the one thing we did say about played the ball forward and I think that’s what Rangers have done in the last 5 minutes down the side and made Defenders cuz the conditions are telling you that make them defend now nsk’s been booked there’s a couple of players made the wrong

Choices as Rangers now Yas so there’s 6 and a half minutes left of stoppage time as the ball swept out to the right to Taven who scored for Rangers straight into the box he one a corner and the Celtic players Greg Taylor having he’s balling there saying what are you doing

To Mikey Johnson who came on about 10 minutes ago there’ be questions about the Celtics substitutions if another goaly here he’s produced the goods a few minutes ago he needs to produce a good corner here the picture is showing some nervous Celtic fans who were dribbling 10 minutes ago but here’s the corner

James tavanir high edge of the Box just head of the way the Celtic head got to at K McGregor as Celtic try to you wouldn’t think it was 10 versus 11 just now Peter no definitely not Rangers have had the last 5 six minutes there’s absolutely no doubt it but they’ve not

Complicated it they’ve done the things that we all said that they would try and do get the ball forward make Celtic defend and that’s that’s exactly what we’ve tried to do and unfortunately we’ve made the errors that’s allowed Rangers to come back in we’ve turned over possession or we’ve made the wrong

Choice and the attacking third and defensively we’ve given silly three kicks away and that that that combination obviously can lead to disaster hopefully not see these I don’t like all this even when you’re winning the game press pressure he he loves it you can understand because you’ve got Rangers are pushing

All the bodies forward now so you can take them out the game with one pass so you’re taking six players but if you keep knocking it short there we go Rangers won it at final third yeah it’s incredible I I I just find it for the experience of the boys

That you lost the ball there if I’m Kum McGregor on there I could imagine if I done that with a or Dan mcgr as Rangers come forward shot up oveross that there he’s at an angle where it’s difficult there he’s just got to flash it we spoke

About it 10 15 minutes ago granted didn’t we absolutely you got to flash out when Des went through we were talking about him he set the the side netting he’s got to flash that across goal Rangers had two players over at the back as well but they all came again

From Celtic playing in the final third when Rangers had five players pushed forward so just one pass takes them all out the game but we’ played in front of them they won possession back and get opportunity here Mikey Johnson beats two players plays it into tble down in the

Box no penalty he says the referee Celtic fans scream for a penalty offside and that could have been dangerous there well I’d be very surprised if he went down for nothing yeah if he was in that position to shoot and I’m not sure he’s offside he’s on side he’s on side he is

On side oh it’s a it’s a penalty kick then having here there a push let’s just see it again on turnbo absolutely it’s a it’s a penalty kick if it’s not but he’s gave offside and it’s not offside so I don’t know if you back

On that did they go back and check that Barry at VAR who’s on is Willie colum that’s I mean but why they know shout to go far I don’t understand because he’s got the decision wrong y David tble has been imagine some finish to the game

Isn’t it how long to go 3 minutes 35 seconds it’s Celtic 2 Rangers one and it’s a free kick for Rangers Peter you’re pointing well I just think there’s an overload at this side and the Rangers are bigger over over there and we’ve got smaller players we’ve just got

To make sure we get the first Contact ball goes that John sut’s head John su’s head’s going to be um a goal kick to Celtic see you got a free kick in that position I I know they go at the edge get it in the penalty spot D it in the

Penalty spot where you can make them defend see like they they’re playing a Diagon I get it we used to do it sometimes but then we changes and says right you know what’re just going to float it towards a penalty spot that Defenders and and goalkeepers 100% I

Thought y’s penalty spot and put all the bodies in there that’s what you’ve got to do because if everybody misses it the conditions can the ball can bounce and slide in or whatever but everybody’s got to defend it then but doing that you’re delighted if your Celtic if are going to

Play that the big diagonal way out there because it means it’s got to become a second or third ball it’s got to get into the back of the Net game stopped for the moment Matt oy’s got a nose bleed again there’ll be a few Celtic fans with a nose bleed at the moment

Peter because anxious moments for the Celtic fans one of them no I’ve got I’m not tell you what I’ve got uh two and a half minutes but there’s obviously going to be an extra minute or so because of this treatment did you want that to

Happen do you want the player to go off don’t really do you don’t want it to go off but if you’re if he’s sitting down I think you’ve got to you’ve got to take him off maybe I don’t know if you’re allowed another substitution I’m not sure with the substitutions it’s been made

Um lost count because of the fact now you’re equal here the only thing is a pleasing thing is the ball’s out for Celtic in the B kick I don’t know if he’s got blood in his shirt if you need to go around all the way to change that

So I think got extra ones these days Peter I think that was they you’ve already given them one p that’s saying so maybe tell them again y there that’s better they’re not taking the chance mean God Almighty so Celtic 21 up a minute and a half to go plus there’s

Maybe an extra minute for that stoppage just there joart thumps it up over the halfway line but Rangers win the ball first it’s but it goes out of play it’s going to be a throw in I think they’re going to go 100 minutes a day you reckon

Yeah I think that’s what it’s heading for when you look at lik a up with his strip whatever bar is that the word find out give me two minut get old he’s yeah um and it’s going to be a free kick to Celtic scking taking the uh

Isn’t it football is you know Celtic looked to be cruising’s the wrong word but there you get that one moment James Taver takes it great strike and it’s 2-1 and the last 10 minutes rang about Sly set plays in that pole you know making the wrong choices Celtic at the ball the

Last chance to give away a big free kick trying to play out and that listen fantastic I’m all for playing for sure but there’s times Rangers push five up and you have nobody to pass to you’ve got to go beyond them Common Sense tells you that Rangers come out of Defense Yas

Plays it down the left the ball looks as all got to play but isn’t it still in play is it Celtic no ball has gone out of Play Bar how’s Yas done for you he’s that okay Paul um going forward listen there’s no doubt he’s very good driving with the ball

Defensively sometimes I I wonder if he’s physically got it but listen he’s done fine throw in to Celtic the coming up to the 998th minute Mark but there will be some there’s something going on there which is just silly uh Sutter with a Celtic player who’s gone down y’s now

Telling the Celtic player to get up this just get back Conor Goldson oh he’s now trying to get the Celtic player up is it Ry I can’t believe Al should just stay out the road already yeah let’s look at it again see what happens is O isn’t it o and

Sutter and the camera’s gone away from what actually happened yep it’s going to be in fact the referee has stopped again we’ve played 98 and a half minutes that’s gets lumped right into the box and another yellow card in fact is there two yellow cards there I think think it’s

And for both of them yeah anyone not get a yellow card on this game I think goson as well I think the three of them there all the one incident but this is it as bar talks about one chance you’re hoping Yep this is not it of go some misses a

Game here’s the ball edge of the Box headed forward by Sutter still in play Celtic tried to break out and the ball just bobbing about inside was the center circle but it’s Rangers now coming forward is at a last chance but it’s whacked out of play by Matt O’Reilly

Can’t believe M Johnson tries a back killer I know yeah final sord your defending s it tells you in fact here is Mikey Johnson on the ball can he keep possession he plays it Forward he gets taken out of the play but here’s o o tries to beat Yas um Peter shakes his

Head they’ve lost possession again Celtic giving it away to Rangers now Rangers the attack is on des’s edge of the box it’s headed away but it’s still the Celtic box is someday going to lump it up the park nooski does we’ve played 99 1 half minutes in the derby the

Second old firm Derby Glasgow Derby of the Season as the balls played up towards the Celtic box is that the whistle no the yeah is the whistle but it’s only four a free kick we said Paul these games are always they can be scrap or whatever you just

Got to win them and Celtic have played for probably the last 15 20 minutes you know it’s been really really Scrappy they’ve not dealt with it when well and Rangers obviously have done what they’ve had to do to try and get the goal back

To get the set play and for then on in it’s been like the Alamo think have got into good positions but made some horrendous decision making you know with an experienced group of players who’s played in he’s played in a lot of these games and we’re talk about trying to

Play in their final third when Rangers have pushed five up all these simple things and you’re just inviting trouble you know 10 and a half minutes have been played of stoppage time this is probably the last piece of the action as the balls played forward both play players

Go down a Celtic player and a Rangers player ball still in play though Yas one final 40 forward for deser deser though has beat to the ball by nooski it’s going to be a throw into Rangers I honestly don’t get that at times Grant even Center half’s not going to win the

Ball Yer him absolutely stand behind them just let him defend it as the ball’s played forward into the Celtic box but it’s cleared we’ve played 11 minutes of stoppage time in the derby and that’s it it’s gone Celtic 2 ERS won 10 man Rangers they came back into it

Through that goal from James tavanir but it was the first half strike from Pao Bernardo and at the start of the second kyogo with a wonder goal there’s eight points in it now Peter Grant delighted with the win uh I’ve seen him play a lot better there is absolutely no doubt of

That it’s t two Wonder goals and Rangers probably the last 10 minutes through everything at it trying to get something from it but I think overall there was a period in the game that Celtic dominated that big play players played well I think that was opposite with Rangers

When Rangers needed their C Wells all that they weren’t there I didn’t feel like you know they were leaving it to Ali young Mosin to try and go and grab the game with the Scruff of the neck and as I say fortunately enough for Celtic

We R our luck a little bit you know and it kind as I say you were scratching your head after they gave the set the set play away with t with the quality that he has and but obviously this game you’re only delighted with the result Bary Ferguson yeah I I didn’t think

There was much in the game Paul when Celtics scored the first goal I thought that just five minutes before that they started take a foothold in the game and and dominate it poor goal for Rangers point of view she has got to do better with the header they finished the first

Half strongly and then it’s the worst possible start in the second half take nothing away kyogo brilliant movement brilliant finish and then Celtics start to dominate after that again and then obviously balagan gets sent off Rangers have a couple of half chances um and then tavanir comes up

With a a Wonder free kick and then they put Cela Under Pressure but just not enough in the end disappointing that’s pH clemont’s first defeat now they need to make sure the they dustel down and make sure they they get that vital three points and Tuesday against K if you want

To speak to Peter Grant and Barry Ferguson you know the number 08081 1717 700s the G football show with global Eco energy for your free energy home survey and bespoke quote call 08 00 23 578 let go oirm Derby finished uh with the spoils going to the home side to the

Defending Champion Celtic and is that going to be crucial in defense of that title Rangers lose for the first time under Philip clemon 2-1 although my goodness the last 5 10 minutes after that strike from James Tavern here it was nail biting Peter wasn’t it when it

Game looked as though um it’s never over you did say that but it looked as though Celtic were well in their way to Victory I think that’s will be disappoint Brandon with the players that he has in the middle of the pitch the quality he has in there they never controlled the

Ball as well as he did and Rangers went down to 10 players and we allowed Rangers back in silly set play as we spoke about okay it’s a quality finish for sure but you don’t give them that chance and then then all of a sudden Rangers are bombarding you and you’re

Thinking oh we’re hanging on here and there was a lot of silly decisions made with the players on the pitch and it ended up making it really really nervy at the end where the game should have been seen out comfortably bar we’re just looking there at kyogo um

You can see why he was Player of the Year like you’ve always said what a striker he just needs that one chance never seen him in the game Paul when he come up with that one bit quality and I said that you’ve got to be wary of

Players like that listen he’s he’s not scored as many goals as you would you would think he would but that’s down to the service I believe for the wide areas um so yeah overall I think Rangers had a few opportunities certainly in the first half Paul with Des has been through he’s

Got he’s got to make Joe har make a save at least and then Young mland Who I thought for his first old F game I thought he was great I’ve got to honest with you he was at Bright’s part for Rangers he created an opportunity good

Shot on goal Joe made a a a good save with a strong right hand but then I’m expecting my Center forwards to be round about that and then the second half as I said that Rangers again finished the the half really really strongly all be down to down to 10 men but listen

It is what it is listen Rangers have suffered their first defeat under Phil clemont but I don’t think it will linger I’ll be honest with you um I think he’ll win he’ll say a few things and then he’ll get back down to business for the the game in Tuesday against K and for

Celtic Peter looking at it um you know just over a week ago they lost two League games in a row Celtic now sitting eight points clear of Rangers rangers have got two games in hand as we know so after 21 games Celtic on 51 points

Rangers on 43 but with two in hand but it’s as good as it gets for Celtic in the last 10 days given the results that Kar and hearts absolutely they were big blows they were massive blows at the time and it was a massive game for

Celtic today a home game you know with your own supporters in front of you it could have went against you Barry spoke up the deser situation I think that was really really important they know that he doesn’t take the chance on we got a bit fortunate probably Alistar Johnson

Today because you end up losing a player through a bad mistake as well and then it was fortunate if the referee’s given the kicks which I think Rangers actually was one Rangers scored from but not it wasn’t it was nooski that one but he’s not his elbow and you’re thinking we got

Away with that and you need the bits of Fortune you know and and Celtic got that today because I was expecting more from it when it Rangers went to 10 players I expected to take more control with the Midfield that they have but we still

Tried to be clever at the back and bring Rangers on invite Rangers on to give them opportunities further up the pitch and bar knows as long as there’s only one goal in it there’s always an opportunity ended up nearly 20 minutes that Rangers had then an opportunity

Back with if you add on the 10 minutes near enough so that’s the F lines absolutely delighted with the result Chuy bits with it um and as I say it was a big result for Celtic today because because of the performances Lo down performances over the last few few weeks

Bar you often said you’d rather be in Celtics position with the points in the bag so for Rangers I mean I’m just thinking yeah it’s eight points but that could easily have been 14 points today if they I know it’s if so it could have been a 14o margin if

There still a lot of football we played the Rangers are certainly still in it they need to make sure that they win the two games in hand first and foremost which I I would fully expect him to do it and as I said last night PA I think

This is going to get right down to the the wire look disappointing when you you lose an old fun game no doubt about it I think you can take some positives out it as well and but end of the day Celtic have got that one and as I said before

The winter break it’s important that Rangers make sure they get that three points against a a commander team who are flying high how much better do you feel than you did with two minutes to go in other words when Rangers got that goal how do you feel now well listen he

Went for it and he made the change he made the substitution bringing Suter on obviously taking um when balagan s get sent off and Rangers were in a a situation where would you do sit back and let Celtic um paper your goal or do you go

And have a go they cly had a go have your go goal and then the last 10 minutes I thought Celtic were on the back foot and no doubt about it just couldn’t get that that equalizer Peter Young poo Bernardo we’d hardly heard of him until European 40s remember in

Champions League and then just he hardly played in domestic football here but my goodness what a contribution yeah I think in the games he’s played in fard I think it was it was his first start really in the respect of the European game and I said enough about him because

I thought he handled that occasion well I thought he handled today well I thought he played well at as well he’s getting in the Box he just doesn’t play in the area he’s a good balance in there and I think that shows today the fact that you’ve got like the manager could

Have maybe I gave a few minutes to didn’t take him off but you know simple things like that because I think brendon’s cute enough he knows these games are never finished you know and it’s not about rest and some people or whatever and Celtic have still got

Players to come back up to the four as well made was well off I felt today you know you never get a performance from him Palmer was quite again I felt you know you’re looking about it I think the Midfield was absolutely fine alist Johnson never had a great day you know

So you had to make a change at Center back early all these we things like that you know so to get away with that and one win with the three points absolutely as a supporter I’m delighted and I know as I’ve get into that dress room there’ll be high five and everything

Because it doesn’t matter I keep telling you it’s all about winning in this particular fixture and I’ve managed to go over the line with a victory but there’s a lot of things for Brendon to pick out in this particular game that he knows they have to do better and and

Improve on and whether that’s bringing new players in or the team getting better that’s what it has to do come January bear in mind we still get a tough fixure to go to and January is just what two days away it’s going to be fascinating it’s going to be massive for

Celtic and for Rangers and I wonder if maybe in a funny kind of a way both managers you know Celtic had won 3-0 if they had or whatever uh given they were up against 10 men and then the Celtic board might say well you know it’s pretty good you know beating Rangers

Scen and for Philip clont if he’d come and won Barry which he would love to have done but maybe he knows he needs to make even if he came to Celtic Part and won the game I still think he knows he needs to strengthen the team um he knows

It’s going to be difficult in January certainly come the summer that there’ll be a number of changes but he still knows that there’s a lot of work to be done look they’re in a good place at this moment in time look suffer a defeat today is a sore one no doubt about it

But Rangers are are certainly on the the right Road the Go Radio football show with global Eco energy tailored and Renewable Energy Products to S your commercial and domestic B needs Let Go Go Radio football show Paul Cy with Peter Grant and Barry Ferguson as we look back at the big match this

Afternoon so the Derby has come and gone and it’s Celtic winning by two goals to one and we’re just going over uh who are the winners for Celtic Peter in terms of the players it was every one of them but I mean there were so many bookings with

A tight rope for some of them um we mentioned um Liam skilles I mean what a season he’s having um the captain K McGregor yeah but I thought Bernardo I must admit I thought he done well I must admit and kyogo does his job he’s his

Job to put the ball in the back of the net and KN moments people say gets minimum touches and whatever but his finish was Exquisite but a lot of other things he done in the game his movement was good it was a couple of half chances

A couple of good movement when the ball didn’t come in the Box you’ve got to keep looking at kyogo I said that before the game I don’t think he’s out for him and I think a player out for him doesn’t score that goal I think it’s if you give

Him the service put the ball into the is what he wants early enough he will cause problems for anyone and but bar rightfully said his movement prior to the goal was excellent his finish was Exquisite especially on his weaker foot certainly was we mentioned Bernardo as

Well Barry we didn’t know too much about him um a few months ago but he’s yeah I’ve not seen too much of him I watched the game against dundi and I thought he was really good for Celtic played in a a position where I thought he was more a

Holding midfielder but he played a attack up at Den’s Parton got his goal and and played well and it was another good performance from him um today but in terms of Rangers I thought young Mand mean I keep talking about him for his first old F game and not even played 10

Games yet I think that young man can go away and be proud he’s performance I thought he was really positive every time he get his ball every time he get the ball he attacked Greg Taylor and um I think Rangers have got a a proper play in their hands sure half moslin was

Outstanding pet no very well and Joe hard didn’t make a magnificent save we’ve got to remember that as well in the game you know he’s had a wonderful save we talk about Des as big chance you know H losing well shley Celtic making adjustments at the back bringing the Ros

Who’s not played for months you know so all these things so both managers will clont in some ways will be happy with some of his stuff but I think he’ll be disappointed these big players I didn’t think turn up they can’t well so you’re expecting like you’re going to

Have to perform in one of these big games like that and he didn’t do it but you know and he ends up taking him off he should be really disappointed sell that the minders taking him off in a game like that and I look at the likes of Celtics Celtic Bren be disappointed

With the quality that they have especially in the middle of the field that they didn’t do better in the period when Rangers were down to 10 players I thought we made the wrong choices at that particular time in the the selection they pass and there was opportunities to kill Rangers off and we

Didn’t do it and then what happens if we get SLO at the back norowski makes a mistake but gets a booking and all of a sudden and we got fortunate alist Johnson cuz all of a sudden he goes up for the header the elbow and if the

Referee sees thinks it’s an elbow there a possibility gets a red card but then let Sterling away be the same attack after for his second yellow card so I don’t know the reasons why and I’m not saying two should equal each other you know but you’re saying Johnson was very

Very fortunate and I just thought that was as poor as I’d seen him playing because I I really like him as a player and I thought that was his poorest game AB playing for Celtic Barry Peter was saying that some of the Rangers um Bankers the ones you would expect to do

Really well didn’t quite live up to i’ never seen enough AA cuz he listen he’s he’s been in excellent form since Philip clemont’s come come in can’t well I thought actually the first 15 20 minutes he started the game pretty well but then he faded away I need to see more

Consistency from him um so they’re the two players that I wanted to see more of sometimes you get games like that Paul but they’re they’re they’re in positions where they’re there to make things happen they’re there to score goals and create goals I see on Sky guys they’re showing

You you know the value of an outstanding midfielder bar which you wear Peter you to look at the the work that K McGregor does which sometimes goes unnoticed Peter doesn’t it but it’s so important positionally you’re in the right position especially when all positions get the ball and people think you’re get

A good position by luck it’s understanding the game and having a football brain so if the ball’s there and you’re saying well I can stop the ball going to help my Center back you know within this especially predominantly Celtic play with one sitting there it becomes more important

That your distances are so so important between you and the back line but also your other two Midfield players so the ball’s not buying passing you into areas where it can hurt um you as a defensive team but going forward as well keep it simple and that’s why as I say that

Period that 10 15 minutes at the end or I thought he should use the leadership and said to them no we’re not making this pass at the back now cuz Rangers are playing Five up let’s go a little bit longer and we’ve got all on now play

All four a me beyond their five and they nearly putel into trouble so sometimes that’s party leadership as well they taken that responsibility you can see the last couple they done that but it nearly was too late you get away with it that time but that was the one that

Could have cost you dearly and Barry from Rangers point of view James Taver scored a wonder goal but some of his delivery most yeah I was surprised because that’s one of his biggest attributes is he his delivery from set pieces made a few hit the first man which was disappointing but listen he’s

Free kick that’s what he’s capable of um free kick you get Rangers back in in a game but just Unfortunately they never had enough at the end to get that vital point I take it Joe har would anyone would have save that I think it was a I

Mean the Whip and the pace he gets on the ball he’s he’s really good at at doing that I mean I think you’re clutching at straws if you’re saying Joe har could have got it no no I’m just asking I would always like my my goalkeeper to stand Central especially

Somebody top quality because I think it’s too many steps with somebody with quality like that um to get across the Box because the ball he hits the ball too often and it bends it’s bending away from you so why would you give him the bigger yardage on that side I’m not

Saying Joe should have done any better on it but I’d always say stand middle when it’s against somebody like his of his quality and Jack butland same question could he have done anything at the two goals no no I mean the first goal see can do better yeah he’s got to

Put his head right through that he’ll be disappointed in that brilliant stripe bernado and then listen the second the second goal from Celtic kyogo and I I honestly mean everybody’s going to talk about strike it’s the movement that makes that goal he goes long it come

Short old one you get taught that when you’re younger Grant when you’re you’re getting coached as a a young man but it was a a brilliant piece of movement took it on his left side and he Struck it past Jo H Jack butland which I I think

Jack butland has no chance of saving and yeah again it’s going away from him the only thing you’d be thinking what it’s on his left foot and I think rang would been quite happy if he’s going to the left hand side but it just shows you his movement as Barry spoke about actually

Gos and thinks he’s got him because Barry spoke about in the first half coming out and engaging but he’s actually made the run as if he’s going to go to the front post and he’s checked and come back round and created that half a yard which was always he needing

In he shifts the ball and in whips it but it’s going to away for Jack butland and that’s what I’m saying even a keeper of his quality not going to get cuz the ball is actually going away from into the top corner and it was a wonderful

Wonderful finish Fair listen a top top quality player here’s Martino who was on the show just a couple of weeks ago saying crazy game as mentioned very good prediction from him a 2-1 win for Celtic that’s what he said uh 10 days ago and all the very best to everyone for the

New year that was Martino Gregory is on he often calls in from the match and he just said yes so he’s enjoying it um yes back to you you do the same B would you uh you know yeah I’m back home shut the C and that’s what I’m going to be

Doing 2-1 to Celtic at the end just looking at some of the the key players and the key moments this afternoon undoubtedly quite a few people are talking about aliser Johnson staying on the pitch but in one of the cases it was uh offside wasn’t it so the penalty kick

One but we didn’t realize it either we all think could penalty K but they were saying all of a sudden Rangers were offside but that’s what I’m saying it’s going to way back to and whatever and we were wondering why they didn’t check that but obviously they made the right

Decision if he’s offside sure that’s fine then he gets away won in the second half there not getting away from that um if the referee’s given a free kick if he’s given a free kick for an elbow then he’s got to make a decision the referee and listen we could talk about that’s

Why people get frustrated because you don’t know what’s right and what’s the wrong decisions nowadays and then Rangers as I say with Sterling over running it we Greg Taylor he had the could have been the second booing for him so equals itself out but we don’t

Look at it that way cuz s it could have been a man down first or whatever so we talked about it prior to the match they’re the small details that can make a hell of a difference I’m going to be critical if are on the aliser Johnson

One they’ve got to come out straight away and stop everybody saying oh it’s a definite penalty and say right away the reason why it wasn’t given as a penalty is because it was offside to let it run until half time before they actually announced the reason why it was they

Gave a b kick as well but that’s that’s the thing they give a b kick it was a penalty but obviously when you see it back seem is definitely off sight yeah you’re right it blows up in social media I think that’s the phrase my phone went

In and meltdown and I’m like yeah it’s a definite penalty then how was you sh phoning yourself just looking at some of the notes first half it was kind of 50/50 at the beginning but the highlights were a Bernardo header remember it went wide and then Mao and kyogo but it was

Offside um um who else Bernardo he hit the side netting so that was after 23 minutes and then two minutes later the first strike was already played it through to poo Bernardo and Peter if anyone missed it how did he take his strike his strike was fantastic he can’t

Hit it any sweeter Paul and I don’t know if it’s something Celtic worked on because it was the right foot obviously taking the Corner in Palmer but Bernardo start starts in at the back post area but then comes the back end of it and gets whether that’s for been over hit or

Whatever but he finds himself in five six yards of space and bar will tell you a coach are pulling your hair out because if somebody’s got that amount of time in your box but he h is as sweet as you can hit a ball you know and a

Fantastic finish for the kid and listen he thoroughly deserved it because his b spoke about earlier in the match he’ made some good runs into the box I thought he’ intercepted play well and I think his passes forward were good so I think he should be pleased with his all

Around performance the yellow cards were mounting for Celtic aliser Johnson poo Bernardo for the celebrations and Matt o’re you weren’t happy about that about the celebration being I mean look I get it but you know I understand 100% if people are getting injured I understand see you’re running a way support or

Something yeah okay I can accept a Yad if you’re in sight and trouble but the fact he’s run his own supporters yes we don’t want people injured or hurt or anything that for sure I understand that but you’ve got to understand it’s the hardest thing in football and scoring

The Celtic Rangers match God Almighty I know I I I don’t think I at the side of the pitch I think i’ have been in the crowd never me anything else you’d still be celebrating then a key moment Steven wilsh went off injured on came nooski uh

And then Mosin came close for Rangers went in at halftime 1 nil Celtic start of the second half Rangers had the momentum going in at halftime and suddenly out of nowhere a minute and 17 seconds in kyogo and Barry took it so well didn’t he yeah and listen that’s

The worst possible start for Rangers conceding um soon as kickoff happens um but as I said look it’s a good goal brilliant movement brilliant finish um Rangers will be it hurt Rangers you could tell that they suffered for about 10 or 15 minutes after that but they got theel together after actually balagan

Get sent off and they made the fight yet and the one thing about the Rangers team and they never gave up and that’s important um T near with a good goal and they could have maybe have got that equalizer in the end but listen it was

It was um too much in the end and as I said it’s disappointing day for Rangers but listen you can’t go back in the bus and feel sorry for yourself what you need to do is dust yourself down as quickly as possible and get ready for Tuesday’s game yeah Tuesday 3:00 Rangers

Against karuk Celtic 5:00 St mirin there playing and it’s all for nothing Peter isn’t it in a way if if Celtic don’t win the next game listen that’s what Celtic have got to do now Celtic have got to go and win every game because we’ve let ourselves down against teams you

Wouldn’t expect and that’s not been disrespectful you’ve let yourself down in their games home matches you’ve dropped big points you have to look after the games to win leagues because the Celtic Rangers games always sort of a look after theel I’ve always said that but the other games you have to win and

They becomes so vital I said that when clont came in that he would need to win all the games up to now he done that Celtic manages managed to punch him on the nose the day and say no we here as Champions and we’re going to stay here

As Champions and that’s what you do when you’re Champions you can win games where you have maybe not played at your best and that’s what you’ve got to dig in and do and that’s Celtic players maybe we talked about it prior to it six or seven them had already been over the course

Before and that sometimes can help you when you that back experience but at times Rangers never gave in I’ll give them that and I just felt Celtic brought that pressure on theel in the second half when they didn’t need to the should seen to the game out more comfortable

And that’ll be the thing that will have disappointed Brendon the fact of been the cor lat the manager and player and supporter Alik but all delighted the result because these games are all about winning Peter and Barry thank you so much it’s a pleasure Che back again on
