Rangers Triumph Over Celtic in Scottish Premiership Derby Amid Managerial Unrest
Rangers secured a 3-1 victory over Celtic in the Scottish Premiership derby, with Youssef Chermiti scoring twice and Mikey Moore adding a third. Celtic initially took the lead thanks to Yang Hyun-jun in the first half, during which Rangers showed defensive fragility and were fortunate not to fall further behind.
After the break, Rangers swiftly equalised through Chermiti within five minutes and quickly moved ahead as he completed his brace. Moore further extended the visitors' lead.
This win moves Rangers level on points with Celtic in the title race. However, the match highlighted growing unrest among Celtic supporters, including chants directed at the club's board, with approximately 2,500 Rangers fans present in the away section.
Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy is under significant pressure following this, marking his sixth defeat in eight games. Celtic's directors face a critical decision regarding his future, as Nancy used a Friday press conference to request more time, context, and understanding amid the club's struggles.
The club has been in a broader decline since Brendan Rodgers left in October. Dermot Desmond, Celtic's main shareholder, is also noted in the context of the club's challenges.
