"Looking forward to this", writes Simon McMahon, but of course the real game of the day in Scotland takes place immediately after this one, as Dundee United and Jim Goodwin's Tangerine Army walk up the road to face Dundee at Dens. I'm sending this now as I'm currently at hospitality in Tannadice with Evie and Ryan before making the short walk with 3,500 fellow Arabs."
"Having lost the last two derbies, unluckily in the Scottish Cup at Dens back in January, and not unluckily in the league at Tannadice in March, United will be desperate to win. But so will Dundee, who have not won consecutive league derbies in over 20 years. So it's all to play for. May the best team United win. By a shedload."
Early match action featured Ralston shoving Diomande, who walked off with the ball after conceding a throw. Rangers attempted to play out from the back but were quickly pressed into going long. The opening minutes were frenetic as Rangers probed McGregor and Aasgaard penetrated deep before Celtic regained possession and cleared. Attention also turned to a nearby derby as injury-hit Dundee United travelled with many absentees, though new signing Nikolaj Moller was available. United had lost the last two derbies and will be desperate to win, while Dundee seek rare consecutive derby victories.
