Frimpong is very strong for a little guy.

82

Frimpong has been our best player. We need half time here.

Morgan getting no protection from Gollum, heā€™s been manhandled a number of times

Weā€™re on the ropes here.

Frimpong has the beating of Kamara.

Mo is way off the pace.

91

0-0. HT.

I think theyā€™ve been good and weā€™ve been bad, but I think the conditions are having a bit of an impact and weā€™ll get more possession in their half playing the other way. I donā€™t think our situation is as terrible/critical as Suttonā€™s making out but an improvement is definitely needed. That said, Iā€™d be tempted to bring on a sub at half time. Edouard if heā€™s fit enough, if not maybe Johnston.

A wretched first half display from Celtic.
Only for Forster Rangers would be out the gap already.

93

Jesus that was a really poor half from Celtic.

At least three excellent saves from Forster. He has been outstanding.

Hayes has switched off a couple of times and Ajer had a couple of errors. Jullien has been fine and Frimpong has been our best outfield player.

Our midfield arenā€™t in it at all. Think Christie is caught between trying to be an outlet like Morgan and helping the other two. McGregor has been on the ball once or twice in tight areas and done ok with it but way quieter than usual. Brown hasnā€™t really been on it at all.

Forrest not involved. Morgan very ineffective. Elyounoussi more involved than Forrest but not much more effective.

Badly need a striker on not just to replace Morgan but to get the midfield playing better too. Would like to see Johnston sooner rather than later too. It doesnā€™t look like the right sort of day for him but he has been effective from the bench and has been very good at getting on the ball this season.

94

At least itā€™s still level and we have a chance to sort it out. Big half time for Lennon and we need Brown to drive it on from the pitch. Itā€™s not been dissimilar to the two league games at Ibrox last season where the gameā€™s being played on their terms and theyā€™re stopping us from getting into a rhythm. But, as I said, at least itā€™s still level - they were ahead on both of those occasions at half time. And aside from them pressing hard and winning lots of second balls, weā€™re also tentative and drifting through the game a bit. Everyone needs to shake themselves and put more in.

Rangers on top but nothing to show for it. If they lose this it will mentally destroy them

96

Yeah itā€™s far from a lost cause. We were in a worse situation at home to Lazio and we got it together after the break. Itā€™s something Lennon has been good at - even away to Lazio when we were level we had been outplayed in the first half but were excellent once we adjusted at half time.

97

Johnston for Elyounoussi.

Itā€™s also notable that Morelos is mainly drifting onto Ajerā€™s side. Jullien and Frimpong have largely been fine defensively. But Christie is a big player for us now and he needs to take this game by the scruff of the neck. Ryan Jack is dominating that part of the pitch ffs sake.

Yeah Iā€™m hoping Christie has just been caught between roles and will assert himself now.
