Celtic move six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after a 2-1 win over 10-man Rangers at Celtic Park.
John Lundstram scored an own goal in the first half to double Celtic s lead shortly after Matt O Riley opened the scoring before the Englishman was sent off on the stroke of half-time for a late lunge on Alistair Johnston.
Celtic could not add to their advantage in the second half as O Riley saw a penalty saved by Jack Butland before Daizen Maeda had two goals disallowed by the offside flag.
With two games left of the season, Celtic s title charge remains in their own hands, with Rangers having to hope they slip up to give them a chance of finishing top.

Data Debrief:
Celtic have avoided defeat in all four Old Firm derbies in the Scottish Premiership this season (W3 D1), doing so for the first time since 2017-18.
Rangers have had five players sent off in the Scottish Premiership this campaign, more than any other team in the competition. Lundstram is responsible for two of those.
