Rangers Secure Second Old Firm Victory in Eight Days, Narrowing Gap to Celtic

Rangers defeated Celtic at Celtic Park, marking their second derby win in just eight days and bringing them within two points of the league leaders. Ryan Naderi opened the scoring early, silencing the home crowd with a quick rebound after a missed chance by Viljami Sinisalo. The win extended Rangers’ winning streak to six straight matches and made manager Derek McInnes the first since Graeme Souness in 1986 to claim victories in his first two derbies. Celtic, led by Martin O’Neill, were forced to chase the game after the early goal and lost a chance to double the lead when Djeidi Gassama’s chip hit the post. With no visiting supporters in attendance, the result added pressure on Celtic to respond in their next fixtures.
