2004: Good spell of pressure for Celtic with back-to-back corners.
2002: Another stoppage so Lee McCulloch can get treatment for a head injury. The game is very stop-start at the moment. Not much football being played...yet.

1958: That was a great chance for Celtic. McGregor almost sacrificed his head to thwart Celtic. The Rangers keeper is going for five clean-sheets in a row.
1957: McGregor dives bravely at the feet of Vennegoor of Hesselink after Nakamura sends the Dutch striker clean through on goal. McGregor has hurt his elbow and was briefly doubled up in the box but is back on his feet.
1955: Rangers have only scored once in their last five visits to the east end of Glasgow. Celtic have failed to score in their last four Old Firm games full-stop.
1953: Naylor winds up for a long throw and launches the ball into the Rangers box. Vennegoor of Hesselink gets his head to it but the visitors' defence hoof the loose ball clear.
1950: Rangers are 1-8 to win the league, with Celtic 5-4 to win this evening's fixture.
1948: Barry Robson piles into Christian Dailly with a Big Daddy-style smash. The Celtic midfielder is making his presence felt from the off.
1947: And Rangers get the game underway. It's win or bust for Celtic.
1942: Gordon Strachan: "We are the champions until somebody takes it off us." Fighting talk pre-match from the under-fire Celtic gaffer.
1937: Right back atcha! This is going to be good.
1936: "neoliverpooltillidie: Lets not kid ourselves on. This game will be a lot harder than Lisbon and should be. The Celtic players know they can do better and will be out to show it." donkamero
1935: "Come on Rangers - if we can win in Lisbon then Celtic is a walk in the Park!" neoliverpooltillidieJoin the debate on 606
1930: "Celtic are out of it if they draw." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Billy Dodds
1924: "If the Celtic players aren't up for this tonight then they shouldn't be at the club."
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Murdo MacLeod.
1911: FULL TEAM LINE-UPS
Celtic: Boruc, Hinkel, Caldwell, McManus, Naylor, Nakamura, Robson, Hartley, McGeady, McDonald, Vennegoor of Hesselink.
Rangers: McGregor, Broadfoot, Cuellar, Weir, Papac, Dailly, Whittaker, Davis, Ferguson, McCulloch, Darcheville.
1910: TEAM NEWS
Celtic make no changes from the side that beat Motherwell 4-1 on Sunday in the SPL. It means Paul Hartley has recovered from a niggling knee-injury to take his place alongside Barry Robson in the centre of midfield.
Rangers start with the same back five that's played so many times together since the turn of the year. Christian Dailly plays in central midfield with Steven Davis and Barry Ferguson. Lee McCulloch and Steven Whittaker are on the left and right flanks respectively, with Jean-Claude Darcheville flying solo on his own in attack.
1915 BST: This is it. The big one. Victory for Rangers will see them odds-on certainties to snatch the SPL title from the grasp of their Glasgow rivals. No doubt, it is crunch time for Gordon Strachan's Hoops.
A draw would suit Rangers better, as they are currently four points ahead at the top of the tree with two games in hand. Celtic really must win to give themselves any chance of bagging three league titles in a row - a feat not achieved since the glory days of Jock Stein.
One thing is for sure - we're in for a highly eventful rollercoaster night of football action...so hold on to your hats!
