In the second half, Youssef Chermiti shone and scored two goals in nine minutes, turning the game around for the visitors. Mikey Moore sealed the victory at 71 minutes, leaving Celtic fans outraged and calling for changes in the management and technical staff.
With the result, Rangers, led by Danny Rohl, matched Celtic's points on the table – in the fight for second place – and reinforced their recovery in the league. Hearts is the leader of the competition. For Nancy, the pressure is mounting, and his tenure seems increasingly threatened.
The game started balanced, with chances for both sides, but Celtic dominated the first half and wasted clear opportunities. After the break, Rangers' aggressive stance changed the scenario and secured the victory.
A good part of the Celtic fans left the stadium before the final whistle, while more than 2,000 Rangers fans celebrated the result that could mark a turning point in the title race.
