Rangers have been dealt a huge blow in their bid for the Scottish Premiership title after suffering a 2-1 defeat against Celtic on Saturday .
Matt O’Riley handed the Hoops the lead before John Lundstram put through his own net, with Cyriel Dessers getting on the scoresheet with the Gers’ only shot on target in the Old Firm clash. Philippe Clement’s side enjoyed just 32 per cent of the possession after Lundstram was sent off just before half-time at Celtic Park.PLAYER RATINGSIt was another top performance from Jack Butland. The goalkeeper kept Rangers in the game when he denied O’Riley from the spot just minutes into the second half. Although his pass completion rate was significantly down at 46 per cent, he made six saves, three of which were from efforts inside the box. He couldn’t do anything about either goal.
