Overview
- Rangers won 1-0 at Celtic Park on Sunday when Ryan Naderi followed up a Viljami Sinisalo parry of Minsu Kim’s long-range shot to score in the 33rd minute.
- The victory is Rangers' second Old Firm win in eight days after a 3-0 League Cup triumph at Ibrox and cuts Celtic's lead in the Scottish Premiership to two points.
- Celtic have now lost twice in eight days after the cup defeat and a 3-1 Europa League loss to Ferencváros, increasing pressure on manager Martin O'Neill and his squad.
- Both teams were weakened by absences — Celtic missing Alistair Johnston, Callum Osmand and Jota and Rangers without Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti — and no away supporters were present because of this season’s temporary ban.
- The result gives Derek McInnes an early milestone as he became the second Rangers manager to win his first two Old Firm derbies and shifts momentum in Glasgow's title race.
