It was advantage Celtic after their first clash against Rangers in September 2022 as Ange Postecoglou’s side demolished their derby rivals 4-0.
It was the first time that both clubs had met since Rangers had played in the Europa League final and this result indicated that there was already a gap between the teams.
An early goal from winger Liel Abada set the Scottish champions on their way as they headed into the interval three goals up thanks to Jota’s terrific chip and Abada’s second of the match.
Rangers failed to make any sort of comeback in the second half as substitute David Turnbull finished the scoring off after goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin passed the ball to the midfielder who made it 4-0.
This emphatic win extended Celtic’s lead at the top of the table to five points as they prepared to take on Real Madrid only a few days later in Glasgow.
