Well, how’s that for awesome?
The Rangers have succeeded Celtic on 24 shots opposed, the most their opponents faced in a championship adjustment since records began, while the Bhoys have controlled 4 shots, the least they had in a championship adjustment since the record began.
Not a bad move by the Rangers. This is even more notable, they only had 39% of the ball. . .

He also adds that he hopes his father, legendary star Gheorge, who was in the stands, can come more often after seeing this win.

Chris Sutton, co-host of Mail Sport’s podcast It’s All On!, shared his quick reaction on X.
By Luke Power
It’s a better start to the New Year for Rangers, and it deserves to be enjoyed in style, but there’s a sobering fact.
The Rangers are still 11 Celtic problems. For part of the season, the hole is not insurmountable, but they have to move on.
It’s hard to see where Celtic’s next defeat will come from, but at least the Rangers denied them invincibility in this championship quest, and avenged the beating they received in September.
By Luke Power
Well, we resume our breath from that one.
Surprisingly, this is the moment Brendan Rodgers has lost opposite the Rangers in 21 games. They won 16. Celtic had the advantage in the old company in recent history.
Bébanlo, Rangers fans. Those moments do not happen in those days.

MASSIVE RANGERS WIN!!
Many congratulations to Clement and his team, who managed to give assists and ended up educating the champions in a 3-0 victory!
A shock scoreline and shock game. Celtic were awful and Rangers took full advantage of it.
By Tum Balogun
You don’t want to waste time, Phillippe. You are 3 zero! He elected to make even more adjustments before the final whistle. Hagi, Igamane and Raskin go towards Cortes, Barron and poses.

Jephthah receives a standing ovation from enthusiasts when he is replaced by the young Fraser.
By tum Balogun
Scary moment at Ibrox as the match is interrupted after a Celtic player is hit by an object thrown from the stands. Engels went down, but fortunately he is now up and play has resumed.

Where does it come from?
Jefte bombed the left wing and his diverted center fell into the hands of the Danilo substitute, who quietly slid the ball before a helpless Schmeichel. It was a complicated afternoon for the Rodgers team, which was at times in each and every departments.
By Tum Balogun
Brazilian striker Danilo replaces Bajrami for the final 10 or so minutes of the clash.
By Tum Balogun
Igamane lets himself down after doing all the hard work to get past the Celtic defence. Rangers were in again on Schmeichel’s goal but a frankly awful attempted pass from the striker saw the move break down.
By Tum Balogun
Hatate is replaced through Engles, holder of the club record, during the last 15 minutes of the match.
By TUM Balogun
By John Mcgarry At Ibrox
By Tum Balogun
Just what they deserve!
The Rangers are doubling down and this is a first Rangers target for defenseman Robin Propper. Celta’s mark in the area, which led to the impactful purpose.
Hagi had a free header from the penalty spot that was blocked on the line and fell to Propper who really couldn’t miss. Ibrox is bouncing. Rangers are on for the win.
By Tum Balogun
Brendan Rodgers has figured it out enough. He made a triple replacement after the hour, with Idah, Valle and McCowan replacing Kyogo, Taylor and Bernardo.
By Tum Balogun
The end comes from Jefte after the crash of the first part. He pounced on the Rangers boy after beating him by speed on the line. Simple caution.
By Tum Balogun
Cerny hits the post for the second time this afternoon and what time can that represent? He won the ball without opposition with just Schmeichel for winning. The foot of the post.
I should have scored.
By John Mcgarry in Ibrox
By TUM Balogun
Rangers have been warned. Kyogo produces a moment of magic which looked to have brought the visitors level. But the forward’s initial run came too soon and he was beyond the last defender by the time the pass was made.
It’s a real shame, because what he did after that was special. The striker took it on his chest and hooked it over Kelly and into the net. What a goal that would have been.
By Tum Balogun
Glance Celtic larger already. Kyogo and Maeda took the ball in complex positions, forcing Sterling to face the danger. Nio Goalmouth Action to speak for now, however, everything Rodgers said it turns out to have worked as a charm.
By John McGarry in Ibrox

Rodgers resists the temptation to replace the breakup. It was the Rangers who got things going in the second period. Will they be able to continue?
By Tum Balogun
By John Mcgarry At Ibrox
By Tum Balogun
The home team was dominant in terms of shots. They will be disappointed to have forced Schmeichel to just one stop.
By John McGarry in Ibrox
By Tum Balogun
There is an approach between the skippers of the two groups, since the whistle of the referee in the half -time sounds in Obrox. Raskin won the third yellow card of the game, while McGregor escaped what his game time would have been.
Philippe Clement will be very happy with his team’s application in those first forty-five minutes. His team has a well-deserved advantage and looks at the entire form of their opponents.
The Celtic, meanwhile, will have to solve it. They are undeniable as that. They have been terrible for most of that part and are only fortunate in one.
By tum balogun
Kelly made a timely contribution down the stretch to maintain the Rangers’ lead at the break. Celtic nevertheless controlled to make a smart pass and the ball fell to Kyoto on the edge of the area.
The Japanese star got a good connection on his half volley but Kelly stood up strong and palmed the effort away.
By Tum Balogun
The Brazilian draws blood from Celtic’s Nicolas Kuhn after a really scruffy tackle right in front of the linesman. The Rangers defender was turned inside out by Kuhn but, perhaps involuntarily, flung his arm in the direction of the attacker.
The medical staff are doing their best to stem the flow of blood. They’ll have time to work on him properly after the incoming free kick.
By Tum Balogun
Two more minutes until Rangers can take a lead back to the dressing room. Maybe I should be saying it’s two more minutes for them to find a deserved second. Surely Celtic can’t be this bad after the break?
By Tum Balogun
Carter-Vickers in the rescue for Celtic after Igamane played through a devastating bullet. The Rangers striker took enough time on which of the 3 features he would locate on the break and having opted for the central diamond, his pass was so close to locating it.
However, Carter-Vikers had other concepts and perfectly timed a slip version that set up the Rangers guy.
By Tum Balogun
The Captain of Celta obtains a stupid reserve, in one more demonstration of how the champions are shaken. The Scottish foreigner is admonished by holding a leg while the Rangers sought to kick quickly and loosely. Let’s see if he passes with him again.
By Tum Balogun
Brendan Rodgers will be furious. Too many of his stars make mistakes. They are being intimidated through the Rangers and perhaps they are lucky to obtain only one goal.
By Tum Balogun
Brilliance in the middle of the park opens up Celtic and it deserves to have been noted as the hosts double their lead. The scorer discovered his teammate Cerny, who passed to an overlapping yilmaz when he deserved to have taken it inside and taken a risk.
The move broke down, but Clement will be pleased to see his team enjoy an era of their own goal.
By Tum Balogun
Alright, let’s get back to the action. Celtic began to put pressure on their hosts in the final minutes. His play passes last a little longer, the passes achieve more on his player, but there hasn’t been a real goal opening yet.
Minutes ago, Maeda cut in from the left flank and tried to whip a shot into the bottom far corner but it was well wide of Kelly’s left post.
By Tum Balogun
Look who’s made the trip up north for the massive game at Ibrox. The Premier League’s all-time top scorer and former team-mate of Celtic iconic Chris Sutton, Alan Shearer.
The legend of Newcastle seems to be in spirit. He’s had an exciting game so far.
By Tum Balogun
The Rangers press has been exceptional so far in this game. They can’t really continue with that. This time it was defender Yilmaz who picked it up in a deep position and headed towards the Celtic area.
Unfortunately for the defender, he couldn’t catch his shot as smoothly as his teammate and Schmeichel was able to save his shot with ease.
By Tum Balogun
By Tum Balogun
Cerny nearly doubles Rangers’ lead with a long range effort that was deflected onto Schmeichel’s crossbar. The Dane looked pretty chill about it but that was very close.
By Tum Balogun
The Rangers controlled some manic minutes very well from the goal. Celtic continue to look dangerous in attack but Clement will be pleased with the way his team dealt with their feelings after taking the lead.
It’s a better first first minute.
By Tum Balogun
And so!
I have talked about the elegance of Celtic in attack, but the Rangers have just demonstrated that they have a lot in abundance. The local team intercepts a careless walk in the center of the field and Raskin goes towards the defense of Celtic.
He flicks it back to Hagi who arrows a low drive past Schmeichel. What a start. What a noise from Ibrox.
By Tum Balogun
The Rangers respond and force the Celtic defense to 3 blocks. They ask for a penalty, however, none of Bajrami’s efforts attracted a Celtic hand. Despite their injury issues on defense, they are still at risk up front. It is the proof.
By Tum Balogun
I’m about to say how far Rangers started, how competitive they were from the first minute and out of nowhere Celtic advance the ball with two passes and force a corner.
On the kick, the Rangers fortunately conceded when Maeda could not attribute himself to a home cross. The afternoon can be long for local fans.
By TUM Balogun
Celtic start the action in Glasgow. Let’s hope it’s something smart.
By Tum Balogun
Ibrox is silent to express their respect for lost lives in the Ibrox crisis of 1971. Impeccably observed throughout the level on the 54th anniversary of the tragedy.
By Tum Balogun
The players are out onto the pitch in front of a packed Ibrox stadium. Rangers and Clement can ill afford to lose this game, never mind badly. You don’t envy the depleted side that is about to take on Rodgers’ all-conquering Celtic side.

There is more time left before the stock is under Ibrox. We’ve got some photos of Liam Kelly, for Jack Butland, warming up for the showdown. It’s a big day for the 28-year-old, who made his second championship appearance of the season.

Philippe Clément, Rangers Skipper, Sky Sports:

This makes many enthusiasts read the Rangers. As we said, Celtic is at the top of the ranking with 50 numbers in 18 games. Then comes the Gers with 36, two more than Aberdeen’s wonder package.
Sticking a hole as big as this would be extraordinary, Rodgers’ Celtic have shown themselves to be almost unstoppable forces over the years.

The visitors are in the building ahead of this afternoon’s game with the chance to move a staggering 17 points clear of their rivals. By the look on all their faces, I think they intend to do just that.

So, let’s take a deeper look at the injury issues plaguing the home side today. First-choice keeper Jack Butland misses out after being admitted to hospital with an internal bleed in his leg.
Elsewhere, captain James Tavernier, Neraysho Kasanwirjo and John Souttar will also be available. Leon Balogun, no relation, is a doubt.
To be informed more about this terrifying butland injury, take a look at the story below.

A service was performed at the Ibrox Disaster Memorial forward today’s shock. The Rangers manager, Phillipe Clement, the executive leader of Patrick Stewart, the president of Celtic Peter Lawwell and many others have paid tribute to the 66 football enthusiasts who died tragically in the field between the two between the two between the two. groups in 1971.
Today, years have passed since this horrific tragedy has happened.

The Belgian manager has been under tension this season for the performances of his team and, more importantly, his results. Clement designated Ibrox in October 2023 and since then has faced Celtic six times without victory.
He approached it in the final of the League Cup, when his team suffered an atrocious defeat in the consequences 5-4 after a desirable draw 3-3. Will it be today the seventh time he is lucky? You have the impression that it is.

Here are some pictures of the home stars arriving at Ibrox for this afternoon’s game. I see some smiles! A few of the players are clearly relishing the chance to shock a few today.
By Tum Balogun
Hello and welcome to Mail Sport’s coverage of the first Old Firm derby of 2025, the 444th in history, in fact. It’s fair to say that this one hasn’t arrived at the best time for the home side, who are coming off a defeat and a draw in their last two matches.
These effects saw Philippe Clemente’s team falling 14th to cast their Celtic on the Rivaux goal in the name race. This advance is already impregnable, 17 cannot be corrected.
The task of the Gers is further complicated this afternoon due to the multiplication of the lesions. We will talk about that shortly, but the highlight is that the Rangers have doubts to the bottom.
All of this leads to the conclusion that it will be a Celtic victory, however, Stranger Things has happened and the House aspect will take confidence from its functionality in the League Cup final defeat via Brendan Rodger’s aspect the month past.
We will have everything about Glasgow before the start of the 3 p. m. , then the Ibrox updates when the action begins!
