Match Info

Rangers delivered a statement performance with a 1-3 victory over Celtic in the Old Firm derby at Celtic Park on January 3, 2026. This crucial away win in the Scottish Premiership dramatically tightened the title race, cutting Celtic's lead at the top to just a few points. Celtic started strongly and took an early lead, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. However, Rangers responded before halftime with a well-taken equalizer, changing the complexion of the match. The visitors then took control in the second half, scoring twice in a ten-minute spell through a clinical counter-attack and a header from a set-piece to stun the champions. The match was not without controversy, as Celtic had a strong penalty appeal waved away in the first half, a decision that was heavily debated post-match. This result injected massive momentum into Rangers' title challenge and put significant pressure on Celtic, marking a potential turning point in the season. The Rangers manager hailed his team's character, while the Celtic boss acknowledged his side's failure to manage the game after going ahead.
