Rangers Secure First Old Firm Derby Win Under Clement with 3-0 Victory Over Celtic
The dominant performance ends Rangers' seven-game winless streak in the derby and narrows Celtic's lead in the Scottish Premiership to 11 points.
- Rangers overcame a defensive injury crisis to deliver a commanding 3-0 victory against Celtic at Ibrox, marking their first derby win since May 2023.
- Goals from Ianis Hagi, Robin Propper, and Danilo sealed the victory, with Hagi's early strike setting the tone for a dominant performance.
- Celtic, who had been unbeaten in the league this season, struggled offensively and failed to register a shot on target until just before halftime.
- Rangers' backup goalkeeper Liam Kelly stepped up in the absence of Jack Butland, who was sidelined due to a significant internal bleed in his leg.
- Despite the loss, Celtic maintain an 11-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership, though the result raises questions about their consistency in high-pressure matches.
