Celtic secured a 3-1 comeback victory against Rangers at Celtic Park, reducing the gap on Premiership leaders Hearts to one point.
Daizen Maeda was a key player, scoring two goals, including an overhead kick, to take his recent tally to six goals in four games.
Rangers initially took the lead in the ninth minute through Mikey Moore, before Yang Hyun-jun controversially equalised for Celtic.
Celtic demonstrated dominance in the early second half and maintained their lead despite Rangers' efforts to recover.
The win, coupled with Hearts' draw, means Celtic could potentially win the title by securing a point at Fir Park and then defeating Hearts next Sunday.
