Ahead of the Old Firm derby on Saturday, anticipation builds as fans revisit classic Celtic and Rangers goals. The final live Scottish Championship game of 2023 features promotion chasers Dundee United and Partick Thistle, with coverage on the BBC Scotland channel. As the top of the table, Celtic, led by Brendan Rodgers, faces a significant derby against Rangers. The match, held at Celtic Park and broadcast live on Sky Sports, starts with line-ups including Hart, A. Johnston, Welsh, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, O’Riley, Bernardo, Maeda, Palma, Kyogo for Celtic, and Butland, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Yilmaz, Lundstram, Sterling, Cantwell, McCausland, Sima, Dessers for Rangers. The game is crucial for both teams, with three points on the line. Live coverage is available on BBC Radio Scotland from 11:30 GMT and online. As the match unfolds, Rangers find themselves with ample counterattack opportunities but are unable to capitalize. Celtic's Kyogo scores a stunning goal, putting Celtic ahead 2-0 just 90 seconds into the second half. Despite a goal from Rangers' James Tavernier and a spirited effort from 10-man Rangers, Celtic secures a victory with a final score of Celtic 2-1 Rangers, making it two wins from two in the derby this season, with goals from Paulo Bernardo and Kyogo, and a red card for Rangers' Leon Balogun.
That was an open, entertaining derby decided by the difference in quality up front. Both these teams are poor compared to previous standards but Rangers desperately need a No9. If they don’t sort that in January I can’t see them winning the league.

Sterling and McCausland have been very good for Rangers today. Running power and direct dribbling from two players who are newest to the XI. That’s the energy this team needs more of. Too many one-paced players in the squad.
That’s a stunning goal from Kyogo. Looks like game over now for Rangers, who have once again learned that not having top quality up front will undermine any performance level.

Rangers couldn’t have wished for more counter attack opportunities in a full game at Celtic Park never mind the opening 35 minutes. So wasteful.
