Celtic on the brink of another Scottish Premiership title after emerging from a stormy derby against 10-man Rangers
Celtic are on the brink of another Scottish Premiership title after emerging from a stormy derby against 10-man Rangers. Goals from Paulo Bernardo and Kyogo Furuhashi secured their seventh consecutive win in all competitions, moving them eight points clear of their rivals with just six games remaining.
The match was marred by a red card for Rangers defender Connor Goldson after just 12 minutes, which gave Celtic a significant advantage. The visitors took full control of the game and created several chances, but it was not until the second half that they were able to break the deadlock.
Bernardo's goal came in the 53rd minute, after a fine run and cross from Jota. Furuhashi then doubled the lead just 10 minutes later, capitalizing on a mistake by Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor.
Celtic will be looking to win their fifth Scottish Cup in a row when they face Rangers in the final at Hampden Park on May 28.
They have won three of their last five away games against Rangers in all competitions, and will be confident of getting a result in the biggest game of the Scottish season.
Rangers, meanwhile, will be looking to end Celtic's dominance of the Scottish Cup. They have not won the trophy since 2009, and will be desperate to lift it again this year.
The match is sure to be a close and competitive affair, and could go either way. Celtic will be slight favorites, but Rangers will be no pushovers. It should be a fascinating match-up between two of the best teams in Scotland.
