Rangers beat Celtic 1-0 at Parkhead on Sunday to move within two points of the Premiership leaders. Ryan Naderi scored the only goal after 33 minutes, securing a second Old Firm victory in eight days for Derek McInnes's side. The win extends Rangers' perfect run to five consecutive victories and lifts them to second in the standings with 16 points from seven games. This impressive recent form, which includes a 3-0 League Cup win over the same opponents, will be tested in their next fixture, a home match against Hibernian.

The decisive moment came when Celtic goalkeeper Sinisalo saved a shot from Kim, only for the rebound to fall to Naderi who finished from close range. Auston Trusty had a strike ruled out for offside shortly before the goal. Celtic's first shot on target arrived after half-time, a header from Colby Donovan that was saved by Ivor Pandur. The Rangers goalkeeper was called into action again to deny a powerful header from close range in the 46th minute. Kieran Tierney hit the woodwork for the hosts, while Djeidi Gassama also struck the post.

McInnes makes history

Derek McInnes became the first manager since 1991 to win his first two Old Firm games. His team played with a lot of confidence, according to the manager, who said they were deserving of the three points. Rangers thought they had doubled their lead in the 74th minute when Olwethu Makhanya found the net, but the goal was disallowed for handball following a VAR review. Celtic captain McGregor was booked for protesting the decision. The home side pushed late on but were booed off the pitch at full-time, having now lost three matches in a row.

Kris Boyd said the performance was dominant. "It was men against boys, it was the exact same as last week," Boyd said. "To come and dominate a Celtic team as much as what they did, it should have been more convincing than what it was." The result leaves Rangers firmly in the title race, just two points behind their rivals. The squad, currently missing forwards Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti from the injuries list, will look to extend their winning run. The team's overall stats reflect their strong defensive performance, having now kept a clean sheet in this key away fixture.
