Celtic must take their medicine after being overpowered by Rangers at Ibrox.
The Hoops suffered a rare Old Firm defeat on Thursday as Philippe Clement finally got the better of Brendan Rodgers at the seventh attempt. Celts were blown away by their Glasgow rivals in Govan as they crashed to a 3-0 defeat – and it could have been more were it not for some heroic defending by Bayer Leverkusen-linked defender Cameron Carter-Vickers.
But there’s no need to hit any panic buttons as the reigning champions still hold a commanding 11 point lead at the top of the league. The Treble-chasers will be expected to get back to winning ways against top-six hopefuls St Mirren on Sunday – who have suffered back-to-back defeats since beating Gers on Boxing Day.
