A very poor first 5-10mins but after that we looked very dangerous and only some poor finishing/decision-making cost us an earlier opener.

 

However, our pressure paid off with the Roofe goal and a deserved red card for McGregor. Problem is, we suddenly look suspect at set-pieces and Simpson was bullied out of a challenge at the back post for a Celtic equaliser.

 

Fortunately we kept at it and what a strike from Alfie. However, we're too open at times and Ajer is being allowed to stride forward at will.

 

We need to switch on a bit more often, look after the ball a bit better when we have it and be physically stronger in and around any 50/50s.  Do that and we'll win but we must apply ourselves for the whole 90mins.

No room for complacency here. This ref has more cards in him.

I can see Wright being utilised later in the game if it remains 11 v 10

Aribo: I'll just hold up the ball, and wait for Tavernier on the overlap.

 

Aribo: ...

 

Tavernier: *In the box looking to get on the end of the cross*

Need to be careful second half we keep 11 players on the park. Might be tempted to bring on Bassey for Simpson.Walsh booked him for very little in my opinion.

And we should be able to build on our lead.

An opportunity here for a few 2nd half goals to give them a proper doing!. This ref is card happy so we need to be careful he will try and even things up!.

Come on Rangers get right into this mob.

[Frankie 8,651]

Bassey isn't available.
