Rangers beat Celtic 1-0 to reduce Celtic's lead to two points in the Scottish Premiership. Ryan Naderi scored the only goal of the game at Ibrox on Sunday, finding the net in the 67th minute.
The result was Rangers' second derby victory over their rivals in seven days, following a 3-0 win the previous weekend. It leaves the Ibrox side second in the table with 16 points from seven matches. Rangers' recent form is strong, having now won five consecutive matches in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and conceding just once in that dominant run.
McInnes praises performance
Manager Derek McInnes expressed his delight at the performance and the importance of the result. "Absolutely delighted," McInnes said. He warned that a defeat would have seen the gap stretch to eight points at this early stage of the season, a scenario he described as potentially very damaging.
The win extends Rangers' current winning run to five games in all competitions. They will now look ahead to their next fixture, a home match against Kilmarnock on 10 October after the international break. Check the upcoming fixtures for details. Key players José Cifuentes, Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti remain sidelined.
