Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, added: “All credit to Celtic who defended magnificently but Rangers looked an ordinary side. They’re a one trick pony without Alfredo Morelos it seems.”

Arrin Geddes, Irvine, said: “Celtic proved they are not only the form team in Scotland’s Premiership, they are clearly the best. Rangers can take Giorgos Giakoumakis’ comments down from the dressing room wall now as it looks as if he was right.”
