Scottish Premiership

Celtic, the Scottish Premiership leaders, suffered their first defeat of the 2024/25 season in emphatic fashion, losing 3-0 to arch-rivals Rangers in the Old Firm Derby. The hosts dominated at Ibrox, delivering a resounding statement against their fiercest adversaries.

Rangers took an early lead in the 7th minute through Ianis Hagi, whose precise strike found the bottom left corner. The second half saw Rangers extend their advantage as Davy Pröpper capitalized on a deflection to double the score. The final blow came courtesy of Danilo Pereira, who powered a shot into the net from the center of the box to seal the victory.

Despite the convincing win, the result did not alter the league standings. Celtic remains comfortably atop the table, holding an 11-point lead. However, Rangers’ triumph serves as a reminder of their capability to challenge their rivals and adds fuel to the season’s heated rivalry.
