Brendan Rodgers' side won 2-1 at Celtic Park

Rangers midfielder John Lundstram scored an own goal and was sent off as Celtic took a massive step towards retaining the cinch Premiership title with a 2-1 victory in a Parkhead thriller.

O’Riley missed a penalty as Celtic struggled to finish off the game against 10 men but the final whistle sparked a party. Celtic had Daizen Maeda back in the starting line-up following injury with James Forrest shifting to the right wing. It was only the second time this season that both wingers had started but they set the tone with a blistering start.

Celtic were two up soon after the restart when Maeda burst down the wing and delivered a low cross that was turned into his own net by Lundstram. The Japanese attacker continued his run into the front two rows of the Lisbon Lions Stand and took some time to re-emerge from the celebrations.
