I Rangers si sono aggiudicati il derby di “Ibrox” contro i Celtic per due reti ad una grazie ad una doppietta dell’ ex Kenny Miller. Successivamente i Celtic sono riusciti ad accorciare le distanze grazie ad un calcio di rigore mentre nel secondo tempo la gara è stata avvincente con i biancoverdi riversatisi in massa in attacco ed i padroni di casa pericolosi in contropiede. La solita spettacolare cornice di pubblico ha onorato anche questa stracittadina che, alla fine, ha gratificato i fans dei campioni di Scozia ( foto ) che hanno visto la propria squadra ridurre il distacco in classifica da quattro punti ad uno soltanto. Nella “EPL” secco sei a due dell’ Arsenal sul Blackburn nonostante il vantaggio iniziale degli ospiti, pareggio casalingo in extremis del West Ham con il Fulham ed uno pari tra Everton e Stoke City. Il big match opponeva, però, il Chelsea al Liverpool a “Stamford Bridge” dove gli uomini di Ancelotti, dopo i primi quarantacinque minuti senza segnature, hanno portato a casa i tre punti con i sigilli di Drogba e Malouda. In classifica i londinesi allungano sul Man U fermato ieri dal Sunderland all’ “Old Trafford”.

Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka scored as Chelsea returned to the top of the Premier League.

After Frank Lampard robbed Javier Mascherano, Didier Drogba charged down the left flank and crossed for Anelka to score against his former club.And in injury time, Drogba pulled the ball back from the right-hand touchline for Malouda to seal Chelsea’s win.Fernando Torres missed Liverpool’s best chance when he headed Dirk Kuyt’s first-half cross straight at Hilario.

Rangers survived a spirited second-half onslaught by Celtic to win the first Old Firm match of the season.

Kenny Miller showed pace and poise to meet a Kris Boyd through ball and slot past Artur Boruc in eight minutes.Shaun Maloney had a strong appeal for a penalty turned down by Craig Thomson before Miller out-muscled and out-sprinted Glenn Loovens to add a second.Aiden McGeady scored from the spot after a Sasa Papac trip, but Celtic’s subsequent pressure was not rewarded.Both sets of fans were shocked when the teams were announced, with the home side fielding Northern Ireland international Andrew Little at right-back for his first start.Rangers centre-back Madjid Bougherra and his usual replacement in that position, Lee McCulloch, had succumbed to flu so Sasa Papac moved into the centre of defence with David Weir.For the visiting supporters, few would have predicted that Celtic manager Tony Mowbray would hand China captain Zheng Zhi his debut, and Lee Naylor made his first start of the season.The opening exchanges were played at a frantic pace, with Maloney and McDonald testing the new Rangers rearguard, which was soon to change formation when Little went off injured in just 13 minutes, striker Nacho Novo his replacement.In the third minute a cross from the right by Mark Wilson was missed by the Rangers defence and fell to Shaun Maloney, who had time to unleash a low left-foot shot that was saved by the legs of Allan McGregor.Dundee United, Hearts and Rapid Vienna have scored early goals against Celtic this season and Miller was to add Rangers to that list in the eighth minute.Boyd clipped the ball through the centre of the Celtic defence and Miller was on to it in a flash and showed great composure to roll it past the despairing hand of Boruc.Celtic were denied what looked a certain penalty when David Weir cut across the advancing Maloney just a few yards from goal, but referee Thomson took no action.

McGregor gets a hand to McGeady’s spot-kick but cannot prevent the goa

When Maloney went sprawling in the box a second time, he was booked for diving.No sooner had Thomson put his yellow card back in his pocket than Rangers went two ahead.Celtic’s central-defensive frailties were cruelly exposed by a long kick-out by McGregor as Miller was the stronger in a challenge with Glenn Loovens, raced on to the ball and despatched a shot round Boruc.As the first half continued apace, with McDonald and Maloney taking turns to probe at the home backline, Celtic were awarded a penalty when Sasa Papac made a clumsy challenge on Zheng Zhi just inside the box.McGeady’s stuttering run-up allowed him a fraction of additional time to place the spot-kick and, though McGregor got a hand to it, his low kick crossed the line to bring Tony Mowbray’s men right back into the game.

 

Rangers boss Walter Smith took in the match from the stand, the first of his four-match domestic ban, and he had plenty of cause for concern as Celtic began to exert their authority in the middle of the pitch.As the interval loomed Boyd took an accidental blow to the cheek in a challenge with Landry N’Guemo and looked groggy as he was led from the pitch to make way for Kyle Lafferty.Rangers’ best piece of football since their second goal came against a backdrop of Celtic pressure.Steven Naismith skilfully worked his way down the left wing and cut the ball infield to Miller. His shot had plenty of power but insufficient curl to beat Boruc at his far post.With Rangers sitting deep, conditions were ripe for the runs of McGeady and the intelligent prompting of Zheng Zhi.And it was the latter who fed Scott McDonald 12 yards out, but the striker’s shot on the turn lacked pace and direction and McGregor enjoyed a comfortable save.McGeady had four Rangers defenders scrambling in his wake in 68 minutes, yet could not trouble the Rangers goalie with his left-foot shot.The impetus, though, was with Celtic, and McDonald was giving Weir and Papac not a moment’s peace.With 25 minutes of the second half gone, a free David Weir header over Boruc’s bar was Rangers’ only effort.Paddy McCourt was given 20 minutes to create an equaliser for Celtic, replacing Zheng Zhi to provide a more attacking threat.From a central free-kick, he picked out Mark Wilson rushing down the right wing and the full-back sent in a perfect low cross which Maloney touched narrowly wide.The physical nature of the match was evidenced by a series of second-half bookings to Pedro Mendes, Wilson, Novo, Scott Brown and LoovensIn terms of play, Rangers at last began to seize the initiative as the match moved into the final stages.Unchallenged, Weir powered two more headers over the bar, then Wilson nudged Novo off the ball as the Spaniard raced to meet a cross right in front of goal.And the diminutive Ibrox striker had the chance to put the game beyond Celtic with five minutes remaining. Breaking the offside trap, he was first to the ball through the Celtic defence but his lob was athletically tipped wide by the stretching Boruc.
