Celtic’s reaction to going behind did finally appear for a few minutes in the first half and Stephen Welsh missed a glorious chance, but you do fear they might just limp to defeat now.
Jonjoe Kenny hasn’t had a great half as he went to sleep for the first goal and allowed Steven Davis to score, while he’s just added an own-goal to that as well:
An own goal doubles Rangers' lead! 🔵
A great team move, a good run by Kent, and Jonjoe Kenny ends up turning it into his own net under pressure

In some ways it’s impressive that he’s managed to put that in the net but it looks like he’s gone at it with the wrong foot, and this is going to need one hell of a half-time teamtalk from Kennedy now.
It’s also horrendous defending from Laxalt in this as he’s beaten far too easily before the cross comes in, and it looks like both players should be returned to their parent clubs this summer.
