“Celtic manager Derek McInnes booked for arguing with officials just minutes after Emmanuel Fernandez's early foul, setting a tense, combative tone for the derby.”
“Ryan Don Naderi heads home after Celtic failed to clear a dangerous spell, capping a sequence of shots from Daniel Neill and Kieran Tierney that had already tested the woodwork and the goalkeeper.”
Pivotal“A flurry of substitutions and Callum McGregor's booking preceded a corner that Rangers worked into a second goal shortly after, though officially the scoreline held at 0-1 in the main data.”
“Badredine Bouanani booked for time-wasting as Rangers looked to see out the closing stages and protect their lead against a chasing Celtic side.”

Outstanding performance
Rangers•DefenderRangers rode out a spell of Celtic pressure before Ryan Don Naderi's 33rd-minute goal, capping a sequence that saw both sides go close through Daniel Neill and Kieran Tierney, settled the contest in their favour. Despite Celtic dominating possession (55%) and passing accuracy, they managed just one shot on target from five attempts, a damning reflection of their inability to trouble Rangers' backline. Rangers were far more incisive, racking up 15 shots and 8 on target, showing their willingness to attack in numbers even without adding a second goal. The result piles pressure on Celtic's home form, while Rangers will take confidence from a gritty, disciplined away performance shaped by six bookings and a frantic final third of substitutions.

Celtic top the table on a six-game winning run in the league, but Rangers arrive with genuine momentum and belief they can do the double over their rivals.
