After falling behind early to a goal from Kenny Miller, Celtic recovered to win 2-1 at Ibrox. They now lead the Scottish Premier League by nineteen points. With a game in hand.
We were eleven minutes in when Miller - to call him a veteran of Glasgow Derbies would be to undersell his experience of these encounters - slid in to put Rangers ahead.
Celtic were out of sorts in the first quarter but had grown into the game by the time Moussa Dembele smashed home the equaliser controlling a corner kick at the back post. He rifled the ball into the only available spot in the top corner.

Midway through the second half, a half where Celtic enjoyed most of the play, Scott Sinclair passed the ball into the net after a lovely sliding cross from Patrick Roberts.

In the final quarter, Kenny Miller missed a glorious chance, side-footing the ball off the post. At the other end, Foderingham pulled off a couple of great saves from Sinclair and Stuart Armstrong.
The longer the game wore on, the more Celtic looked likely to add to their lead. Rangers slightly flattered by final score.
