Rangers 1-2 Celtic: Old Firm comeback puts Bhoys on brink of Scottish Premiership title

Celtic’s advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership grew to six points on Sunday after a comeback win over Rangers in the Old Firm derby.

Shorn of Alfredo Morelos from their line-up, the Gers sent Ibrox wild with a third-minute opener from Aaron Ramsey on his first appearance against their Glasgow rivals.

A move down the left led to the Welshman sweeping past Joe Hart yet Celtic hit back almost instantly.

Tom Rogic made hay after Allan McGregor weakly parried Reo Hatate’s drive from outside the box, to slot home and bring the teams level after only six minutes.

The first-half continued to edge towards the visitors’ favour and they deservedly led when Cameron Carter-Vickers fired a set-piece move home on the verge of the break.

Rangers gradually cranked up the pressure in the second period yet found determined resistance to their policy of lofting in crosses from wide areas.

With six games to go and the league splitting for its run-in set of games in a week, Celtic confidently saw out a vital three points in their quest to reclaim the title.
