Rangers beat Celtic again to enliven title race
GLASGOW: Rangers beat rivals Celtic for the second consecutive weekend as Ryan Naderi’s strike earned a 1-0 away win that enlivens the Scottish Premiership title race.
Glasgow: Rangers secured a 1-0 away victory over Celtic, the second time this weekend, reigniting the Scottish Premiership title race. Celtic remain two points ahead at the top, but Rangers have gained momentum following their recent dominant wins. Derek McInnes' Rangers triumphed over Celtic 3-0 in a League Cup match the previous weekend, making him the first manager since 1991 to win back-to-back Old Firm games.
McInnes expressed confidence in his team, stating, "We played with a lot of confidence." However, he was disappointed they didn't capitalize on their lead, feeling they were deservedly leading. Celtic suffered an early setback with a 3-1 loss to Ferencvaros in their Europa League debut, raising concerns about manager Martin O'Neill's future.
The 74-year-old O'Neill admitted to self-reflection, accepting responsibility for the team's performance. In the match, Austin Trusty's volley was ruled out for offside, and Kieran Tierney's shot hit the crossbar. Following Reger's goal on 31 minutes, Kim Min-su's shot hit the post. Rangers dominated the second half and should have scored a second, despite being played without spectators.
