Brilliant Edouard winner sees 10-man Celtic down Rangers in five goal thriller at Ibrox

Celtic extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a dramatic 3-2 victory against their bitter rivals on Sunday.

CELTIC CAME OUT on top against bitter-rivals Rangers on Sunday in a thriller which featured a second-half sending off, five goals and a stunning winner courtesy of PSG loanee Odsonne Edouard.

Brendan Rodgersโ€™ side fell behind with just three minutes on the clock at Ibrox. Josh Windass capitalised on a horrendous error from Dedryck Boyata on half-way before rifling a powerful strike past Scott Bain.

In a game which featured multiple outstanding strikes throughout, Tom Rogic levelled with another fine finish, cutting inside from 25 yards out before his shot took a slight deflection before beating Wes Foderingham.

Daniel Candeias brought the hosts back into the lead just shy of the half-hour mark, before Moussa Dembรฉlรฉ equalised for a second time.

Celtic were reduced to ten men before the break as Jozo ล imunoviฤ‡ was sent off for an elbow on Alfredo Morelos after 57 minutes, however Rodgersโ€™ side held on in the second-half to strike a decisive third blow with Edouardโ€™s winner.

The forward took possession following a lighting quick counter-attack. Taking on two markers the 20-year-old cut inside with a jink, before curling the ball into the far corner for what proved to be the killer blow twenty minutes from time.

    Thank you Storm Desmond. Thanks for a bit of perspective. I thought the millions of euros of flood damage would be the main focus of people. I forgot about the feast of opportunities for wakeboarders. I feel better now.

    The ESB had advised discharge from the Inniscarra Dam was increased to 180 cubic m per sec. If this muppet had made one small mistake and got thrown into the main channel he was history .
    Amazes me the stupidity of some people and whats makes it more laughable is they post there proud moment on the internet for the world to see.
    Parents must be really embarrassed to have reared such a moron !
