Rangers beat Celtic 1-0 at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon.

Pundit and ex-Celtic player Chris Sutton looks on prior to the Betfred Cup Final between Celtic and Aberdeen at Hampden Park on December 2, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The final Scottish Premiership games of 2018 took place this past weekend, and the big headline was Rangers beating Celtic 1-0 at Ibrox.

The Gers needed a win to go level with the Bhoys at the top of the table, but hadn’t beaten Celtic in the league for six years.

Steven Gerrard masterminded a superb display this time though, as Rangers were excellent throughout and snatched a 1-0 win thanks to Ryan Jack’s deflected effort.

Elsewhere, the Edinburgh derby took place as Hearts travelled to take on Hibs, and Craig Levein’s side claimed a 1-0 win thanks to Olly Lee’s goal.

Motherwell beat Hamilton Academical in another derby, whilst St Johnstone picked up a 2-0 win away at Dundee, with most of Chris Sutton’s team of the week made up of winners from those games.

Rangers dominated the team unsurprisingly, with Andy Halliday, Ross McCrorie, Scott Arfield and Ryan Kent joining goalscorer Jack in the team.

One Celtic player did manage to make it though, with goalkeeper Craig Gordon included despite the Bhoys’ defeat having made a number of fine saves.

Hearts trio Christophe Berra, Steven Naismith and goalscorer Lee were also in the team, alongside St Johnstone winger Matty Kennedy and Motherwell defender Tom Aldred.
