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 Rodgers’ 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 Dembélé equalised for a second time.
Celtic were reduced to ten men before the break as Jozo Šimunović was sent off for an elbow on Alfredo Morelos after 57 minutes, however Rodgers’ side held on in the second-half to strike a decisive third blow with Edouard’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.
The real special one
@Jamie: When he has 4 he is special until then Judas is the special one !
@Jamie: Why not try and congratulate one of your own first Alan before you troll . Well done Chris Hughton !!
Yes, he has done well, but I think he can only truly be judged next year. The advantage of only playing once a week was incredible. With that, and not sustaining any major injuries, no team in the league made less changes to its starting 11 week in week out. So, luck definitely had its part to play.
@William Boland: still done amazing especially if they win FA cup. I think not playing Europe did help but clubs like Liverpool didn’t play in Europe and they didn’t treat
Threaten to win anything this season.. so massive credit to Conte..
Conte deserves the award for turning Chelsea around and making them into the formidable force, the real challenge starts next season, with champions league included
