5 things we learned from this weekend’s cinch Premiership action

Celtic moved six points clear of Rangers at the top of the cinch Premiership with a 2-1 comeback win at Ibrox on Sunday.

With six matches remaining, the Hoops are on course to wrest the title back from Govan, while there is plenty to play for up and down the country.

Here, the PA news agency looks at a significant weekend in Scottish football’s top flight.

The Old Firm played out a typically frantic encounter which saw plenty of entertainment but the fixture was marred by a couple of incidents. One member of Celtic’s backroom staff was struck by a glass bottle as he made his way up the Ibrox tunnel at half-time and required stiches. The Parkhead club later confirmed that the matter was in the hands of Police Scotland. The start to the second half was also delayed as groundstaff cleared broken glass from Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart’s penalty area and neither Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou nor Gers manager Giovanni Van Bronckhorst was impressed.

The Parkhead side got off to the worst possible start when Aaron Ramsey gave Rangers the lead in the third minute but responded quickly with a Tom Rogic leveller. Defender Cameron Carter-Vickers then drove the Hoops into the lead just before the break and, in a frenetic second half, Celtic held on for the win  – and could even have added to their lead. They are now in pole position to bring the title back to the east end of Glasgow.

Seven teams are still in the hunt for the final three places going into the last game before the split. United only need a point in the Dundee derby to seal their place and three results would need to go against them even if they lose. Motherwell will qualify with a win at Livingston while a draw might also suffice and a defeat would not necessarily rule
