Rangers 0-1 Celtic
88 minutes
Ntcham sets Hayes free down the left and he drills a low ball across the face of goal. Goldson does well to slide in and clear to deny Edouard a tap in.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
89 minutes
We finally have a booking, and it's as blatant as you'll ever see. Arfield very nearly pulls Ntcham's shorts off as he tries to race away on the break.
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
90 minutes
It's getting a little heated now. Hayes sees yellow for squaring up to Morelos. Rangers have another free kick...
Rangers 0-1 Celtic
90+1 minutes
Celtic clear the set piece yet again. But the ball is played back into the box and Christie's attempted clearance loops into the air. Goldson's header trickles wide of the far post and there's a cry of anguish from the home fans. We're into six minutes of added time.
GOAL! Rangers 0-2 Celtic (Hayes)
90+3 minutes
Celtic seal the points! Rangers are left exposed at the back and Ntcham sets Hayes clear on goal. The substitute's first effort is saved, but he gets to the rebound first and slots the ball into an empty net. The away fans are sent into raptures!
Rangers 0-2 Celtic (Hayes)
90+6 minutes
A stupid tackles from Jones, who flies in recklessly on Bauer and sees red. Gerrard doesn't look happy, and understandably so.
