Celtic 3-0 Rangers: Ange Postecoglou's side move top of Scottish Premiership with dominant Old Firm victory

By Prosper E. on February 3, 2022

Celtic blew Rangers away in the second Old Firm clash of the season to seal a 3-0 win and move top of the Scottish Premiership as the title race took another twist.

Reo Hatate gave the hosts the perfect start when he fired home from the edge of the area after just five minutes.

Allan McGregor was forced into a number of saves before Hatate doubled the lead three minutes before half-time with a curling effort after a fine Celtic move, and Liel Abada added a third before half-time (44) from close range.

Ryan Jack hit the crossbar in the second half for Rangers but Giovanni van Bronckhorst's first Old Firm game as a manager ended in a heavy defeat.

The result means Celtic are one point above Rangers and top the Scottish Premiership for the first time since August.
