Celtic moved are on the verge of lifting another Scottish Premiership title, having beaten Old Firm rivals Rangers 2-1 at Parkhead in a frantic clash this afternoon.

The Bhoys knew a derby day win over their bitter enemies would take them 13 points clear at the top of the table, and that is exactly what their lead sits at tonight after a dramatic win.

Striker Odsonne Edouard put Neil Lennon’s side in front in the first half as he broke away on the counter to score, before Rangers were reduced to 10 men, with Alfredo Morelos picking up a red card for an elbow on Scott Brown.

Despite being a man short, Rangers somehow hauled themselves back into the game, as makeshift-forward Ryan Kent raced cealr of Dedryck Boyata on the edge of the box to beat Scott Bain and draw Rangers level.

Celtic ultimately had the last laugh though, as they pounced on a James Tavernier error to snatch the win, with James Forrest slotting past Allan McGregor to spark wild celebrations at Parkhead.

There were so many talking points in the game, but arguably the biggest was the Morelos red card, with the Colombian hitman being sent off for the fifth time this season.

Morelos was lured in as Brown wound him up, and to make matters worse, Brown stood at the sidelines as Morelos made his way off the pitch, and laughed at the red carded striker, as seen above.

Rangers fans already don’t like Brown, but seeing him laugh at Morelos after luring him into a red card, and then celebrating wildly at full time (below), really made matters worse.
