Rangers Under-18’s hammered rivals Celtic on Sunday.
Rangers and Celtic were both in Scottish Premiership action on Sunday afternoon, and both claimed wins as they continue to push for the title.
The Gers beat Livingston 2-0 away from home, whilst Celtic beat Motherwell by the same scoreline as the two Old Firm sides claimed comfortable wins.
Earlier in the day though, the two sides actually went head to head, as they met in the second round of the Scottish Youth Cup at Clyde’s Broadwood Stadium.
The pair met in the final of last year’s competition, so a second round contest was a big game – and Rangers advanced with a real demolition of the Bhoys.
Leon King’s goal put Rangers 1-0 up at the break, and they then ran riot in the second half, as Nathan Young-Coombes, Ross McAusland, Kai Kennedy and Ciaran Dickson completed a 5-0 win.
Rangers will have high hopes for some of the players involved, such as Young-Coombes and Kennedy, and fans will be loving the convincing nature of Sunday’s win.
After the game, coach and former Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson took to Twitter to react to the result, admitting that it was a ‘ruthless’ performance.
Thomson felt that the first half was a little sloppy, but his players were ‘electric’ in the second period, adding that he wants even more from them despite such a huge win over their bitter rivals.
