Scott Arfield scored for Rangers in a 2-0 win over Celtic, the club’s second Old Firm victory of the season.

Arfield’s second half strike followed up a free-kick from captain James Tavernier.

Tavernier hailed his teammate’s performance, and his knack of scoring from midfield.

Arfield has an impressive tally of 10 goals from 25 Scottish Premiership games, as well as seven assists.

Speaking to Rangers’ official website, Tavernier said: “He’s been exceptional since we have adapted to that new system.

“He’s been popping up with the goals left, right and centre so he works really hard for the team and he’s a great guy. I’m really happy for him to score today.”

Arfield played a key role in Rangers’ previous win over Celtic in December and has been a shrewd signing.

The Canadian international joined the Gers on a free transfer last summer.

The move looked like a bargain at the time, and Arfield’s performances have surely exceeded expectations.
