Rangers breathed new life into their Scottish Premiership title bid with a 3-1 win over Celtic in the Old Firm derby on Saturday. Trailing 1-0 at the break, a quick-fire brace from Youssef Chermiti turned the game on its head before on-loan Tottenham forward Mikey Moore added a third to move Rangers level on points with their bitter rivals and three behind leaders Hearts.

As for Celtic, the pressure increases on manager Wilfried Nancy following a second half collapse at Parkhead. It is now six defeats in his first eight matches in charge and Nancy can expect to field more questions about his future, with Celtic supporters also directing their anger towards the board.

A breathless first half brought about a stunning goal to break the deadlock as Yang Hyun-Jun picked up the ball roughly 35 yards out and weaved his way into the box before smashing an effort into the top corner. The goal was no more than Celtic deserved. The only surprise was that they did not extend their lead further before the interval and they were made to pay the ultimate price for those missed chances in the second half.
