Rangers 1-0 Celtic: Filip Helander header settles pulsating derby

The Scottish Premiership is one of the most exciting leagues in world football, and this weekend’s derby between Rangers and Celtic was no exception.

Filip Helander (left) of Rangers watches as his header beats Celtic’s Joe Hart to make the score 1-0.

A thrilling Old Firm derby was decided by Filip Helander’s thunderous header as a depleted Rangers suffered Celtic’s second Scottish Premiership loss of the season at a crowded Ibrox.

With manager Steven Gerrard and many players missing due to a Covid outbreak, the Ibrox side made it seven derbies in a row without losing, winning six of them.

With the game goalless, Celtic attacker Odsonne Edouard squirted wide from close range before Helander’s header secured the points for the champions.

Rangers are now only a point behind Hibernian and Hearts at the top of the table, with Celtic in sixth position following two losses in four games.

It also means that Ange Postecoglou is the first Celtic manager to lose his first Old Firm derby since Tony Mowbray in 2009.

There will be more to come.
