Celtic vs rangers games 2012

The player of the year candidate arrived late and unmarked to head down off the turf and into the roof of the net past McGregor from 15 yards. Having taken heart from the opening goal, Celtic started to look the more incisive and extended their lead through Commons.

Gary Hooper gathered the ball out wide and, when the striker found Commons with a low crossfield pass, the winger nutmegged Kyle Bartley before chipping over the advancing McGregor.

Rangers were now on the rocks, unable to cope with Celtic's fluid system after Lennon switched to three at the back, and McGregor had to beat away a powerful Victor Wanyama drive. The second half continued in the same manner, with McGregor being forced into a superb fingertip save to turn a Joe Ledley drive over the crossbar.

McGregor had to save smartly on his goalline following Wanyama's mis-hit effort from the resulting corner, but the goalkeeper was given no chance when Celtic extended their lead moments later.

McCabe was dispossessed by Commons and Samaras' quick pass found Hooper with plenty of space to find the top corner with a rasping drive from 20 yards. It was the 73rd minute before Rangers had another effort on goal, with substitute Salim Kerkar's chip sailing harmlessly over the crossbar.

Hapless on-loan Arsenal defender Kyle Bartley's frustration boiled over with a couple of dangerous tackles that ought to have been more harshly dealt with than the yellow card shown for the second that flattened Izaguirre.
