CELTIC won this afternoon’s Old Firm derby at Parkhead, with Olivier Ntcham’s goal midway through the second half enough to seal victory.
Rangers pushed for a leveler late on, with James Tavernier having the best opportunity for an equaliser.
From the side which so gloriously made it by Ufa on Thursday to reach the Europa League, out went Jon Flanagan and Daniel Candeias, with their places taken by Borna Barisic and Kyle Lafferty.
