"Celtic dropped their first points of the Scottish Premiership season following a 0-0 draw with rivals Rangers at Ibrox. Nothing could separate the sides in a generally low-key Glasgow derby, with the hosts recording their fourth successive stalemate of the campaign. Rangers thought they had taken the lead in the 31st minute when John Souttar headed home from James Tavernier's free-kick, but the goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review."
"Both teams were seeking a positive response after missing out on Champions League qualification following defeats in the play-off round earlier this week. However, neither could really generate too much of an attacking threat, with the accumulative expected goals (xG) coming to just 0.32 (0.15 for Rangers, 0.17 for Celtic). Kieran Tierney sent an acrobatic attempt straight at Jack Butland in the 56th minute, but that was the closest either side went to grabbing all three points, with the spoils shared."
