Celtic v Rangers LIVE: Raskin not in squad and Tavernier starts as Old Firm rivals clash in thrilling title race | OneFootball

Martin O'Neill on whether Celtic are peaking at the right time

Celtic could win six consecutive games for the first time this season if they beat Rangers but Martin O’Neill is staying cautious. When asked if Celtic are peaking at the right time, he said: “The games that we’ve had have been difficult. So I’ve not tried to analyse that much about it.

“We’ve got over the line. We had our difficulties on last week. Well, we certainly had. We had a bit of a problem with VAR, we had a bit of a problem with a few decisions.“But I think the Old Firm game looks after itself.

“The players have, since (losing at) Tannadice, had some time to reflect because of the international break.

“We got back to Dundee, got the late winner, and it’s gone from there. We’ve had moments where we’ve had to fight through things, but we’ve seen it through so far. But Sunday is a massive test for us.”

Danny Rohl 'fully committed' to Rangers next season

It’s been another week of soul-searching for Rangers after defeat at Tynecastle on Monday but Danny Rohl insists he feels supported by the board as his future becames the source of some debate.

“Fully, fully committed. I feel the support every day,” he said. “I feel the conversations we had. We spoke so much about what we want to change for the summer.

“And all in all, I feel that I’m in the right place with the right people with a lot of motivation, positive energy to bring this club not just to a one-hit wonder, back to a consistent club who can win titles in a row.

“This is also important to understand. A one-hit wonder for us, it’s nice, but what we are looking for is that you consistently play for the title. And this is my job, this is our job, and this is why I’m looking forward.”

Derek McInnes furious at referee after Hearts denied penalty at Motherwell

Derek McInnes, the Hearts manager, speaking to Sky Sports after the 1-1 draw at Motherwell.

“It should be a penalty kick, the referee had a poor game tonight. We can all have poor nights, but he was poor throughout and the biggest decision of the lot of them he got wrong, and it's so important that he gets that right.

“The explanation to me is, ‘Yes, there's contact, but I don't think there's enough contact’. Everybody will tell you that’s played the game there doesn't need to be a lot of contact, but if there's contact and you're going at that speed and you're fouled... it's a penalty kick, and I'm disappointed it's not been given.”

Hearts lose key duo to injuries and vent fury at controversial penalty decision in title race twist

Hearts edged four points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership last night after a 1-1 draw at Motherwell but lost key duo Craig Halkett and Marc Leonard to season-ending injuries and were furious to be denied a second-half penalty.

Hearts fell behind for the fifth consecutive game when Stephen Kingsley bundled an attempted clearance into his own net, but Lawrence Shankland equalised before the break.

The big talking point came in the 66th minute when substitute Alexandros Kyziridis went short to receive a corner and went down under the outstretched leg of Motherwell’s Tawanda Maswanhise in the box. Referee Steven McLean was sent to the pitch-side monitor by VAR but stuck with his original decision.
