Celtic v Rangers LIVE: Gers add to Hoops misery with second Old Firm win in a week

Celtic failed to get revenge over Rangers as they lost 1-0 in the first Old Firm clash of the Scottish Premiership season, for a second defeat at the hands of their bitter rivals in a week

The Gers powered to an impressive 3-0 victory in the League Cup quarter-finals at Ibrox last weekend, and followed that up with another dominant display, although the scoreline was closer this time around.

Ryan Naderi slammed home a rebound on 33 minutes for the decisive goal and completed a week that has surely given Derek McInnes lift-off after a difficult start to life in Glasgow.

Away fans are banned from matches between the Old Firm teams in the Premiership and League Cup this season, so Celtic Park was exclusively green and white but that didn’t help Martin O’Neill’s side, who also endured a deflating defeat to Ferencvaros in the Europa League in midweek and have now lost three on the spin with the clouds of crisis beginning to gather over Parkhead.
