This Thursday, the Premiership continued with matchday 21 and Rangers won the Old Firm in front of their home crowd, thus taking their revenge after the defeat last September.
It was the third Old Firm of the season, but the second in the championship, Ianis Hagi (7ᵉ), Robin Propper (66ᵉ) and Danilo (81ᵉ) gave victory to the residents of Ibrox.
In front of their audience, the Rangers easily dominated the Celtic although the visitors stole the ball during the match. It’s been a year and a half since the training of Philippe Clement failed to win at home against its rival. However, in the ranking, the Bhoys are still eleven points ahead after 19 matches played.
There is still time before the end of the season, but this success may not make a difference for the Gers who have lost precious points precisely in recent weeks. On the other hand, it is a superb way to start the new year, especially since the Ligue Europa notably awaits the Glasgow club by the end of January.
And while title hopes may have been dashed, the Scottish Cup is still an achievable goal for Clement and his men. Until then, see you in three days with a trip Hibernian.
As for the Celticthis is the first defeat conceded since the slap received by the Borussia Dortmund in the fall (7-1). During this month of January, numerous meetings will allow us to bounce back, particularly in Champions League.
