00:00 Full time here at Tyne Castle where it's finished.
00:04 Part 2 Celtic Mill, another twist in this fascinating title race.
00:09 The Celtic came here knowing that a win would put them top of the premiership after a race of surprise that took them mother well less than 24 hours earlier.
00:17 But it was them who also slipped up in a dramatic match against the third place Jambos.
00:22 Who were well worth their 2-0 victory, although it must be said helped out by VAR and some pretensions to him.
00:28 Their goals came from a George Graham penalty before half time and a Lauren Shanklin to finish his 27th goal of the season.
00:35 But the real talking point came earlier in the game when referee Don Robertson was advised by VAR John Beaton to award a red card to Yang Hyun-Joon
00:44 for an admittedly high but unintentional challenge on Alex Cobham who caught the harsh left back in the face.
00:51 Celtic after that never really recovered.
00:53 They tried to get back into the game at once harshly but without their talisman at captain Callum McGregor who had a slight calf injury.
01:02 They never had the real drive and leadership to get the win.
01:06 Adam Ida will lament his day though, he missed the penalty on 11 minutes.
01:10 His weak effort saved by Xander Clarke's legs.
01:13 And later in the game the Scotland goalkeeper made two very good saves and Celtic tried to get back into it.
01:18 It just wasn't their match Celtic, not the one to try but they let Rangers off the hook after their shock defeat at Ibrox.
01:26 And this title race, you just don't know which way it's going to go right now.
01:29 They finish here at a very happy Tyne Castle from a home perspective.
01:33 Parts 2 Celtic 0.
