[St Charles Owl]

A real smash and grab by an off form Celtic today!!  The only goal was offside, Tavernier should have taken the pen and not let Morelos take it and the often seen 10 men shutting up shop against 11 worked for them.  Once Celtic scored a goal against the run of play after Rangers had spurned so many chances, you could feel that would be the dagger to the heart of Rangers and Celtics experience in these situations allowed them to see out the game.  Unlucky for Rangers in the end but they are closer to Celtic on the field now than they have been for a long long time.

Are they though ?

The Tims played an hour with a young winger as striker and the last 30 mins with 10 men. If you can't win in those circumstances today questions have to be asked about their bottle.

Yes they are absolutely closer. They are still not there and I am sure Celtic will stretch their lead over them once their focus is only the league, but Rangers have now shown themselves to be the 2nd best team on the field in Scotland by a bit of a margin, and thats not been the case for a while. Whether they can push on from here remains to be seen but an Old Firm one-two looks like it might be a more regular occurrence again.
