This result will have no bearing on the destination of this season’s Scottish Premiership. A Celtic lead that remains at 11 points says all we need to know about that. Events at Ibrox, though, have afforded the Rangers manager, Philippe Clement, a crucial commodity: breathing space.
On an afternoon where Rangers were as good as Celtic were awful, Clement’s side rampaged over their oldest foes. A three-goal winning margin perfectly depicted the flow of this fixture. Brendan Rodgers will remember what is only his second Old Firm defeat. Rarely are Celtic outplayed in such a manner domestically. Here, they were ragged and rattled throughout. Rodgers is not so infallible in Scotland after all.
