Rangers took the lead in the 3rd minute and started the game perfectly. After a beautiful combination, the star Aaron Ramsey came through. However, the euphoria of the fans at Ibrox Stadium didn’t last long as Celtic equalised just a few minutes later. See for yourself!
The turning point in the Old Firm derby came shortly before half-time, with American defender Cameron Carter-Vickers netting in the 43rd minute after a standard situation. He was the best player of the match ever according to the prestigious WhoScored server, getting a rating of 8.2.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men could not answer that shot. Celtic are enjoying a promising lead with this 2-1 away win.
Rangers dominated the ball game and even outshot Celtic, but the xG (expected goals) indicator confirmed a well-deserved win for The Bhoys.
As for the Rangers FC fans, they prepared a nice choreo before the game, but they spoiled the overall impression at half-time when they threw a glass bottle into the penalty area of the visiting goalkeeper Joe Hart. The second half started late due to this incident.
The two rivals will meet again in less than two weeks at Celtic Park. But this time in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup. With six games left to play in the league, Celtic have a six-point lead. Can they defend it?
