Celtic fans were delighted with Kris Commons’ display after beating Rangers 2-0 in the Old Firm derby.
Celtic claimed the bragging rights in today’s Old Firm derby, defeating Rangers 2-0 at Hampden Park in the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup.
The Bhoys, who are a division above their Glasgow rivals, showed their superiority by essentially wrapping the game up before half time.
Leigh Griffiths got the ball rolling for Celtic, heading home Stefan Johansen’s cross at the back post before Kris Commons made it two with a superb finish.
