Celtic decisively defeated Rangers 3-0 in the Old Firm match, highlighting the gap in quality between the two teams. Celtic's captain Callum McGregor scored a stunning long-range goal to complement first-half strikes from Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi, further asserting Celtic's dominance in the Scottish Premiership. Although Rangers started both halves positively, they struggled to create significant chances, with their best efforts thwarted by Celtic's solid defense and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. New Celtic signings, including Paulo Bernardo, contributed significantly, showcasing their ability to adapt after losing last season's star player, Matt O'Riley. Meanwhile, Rangers' Cyriel Dessers had a disappointing performance, missing key opportunities and failing to capitalize on early chances. This victory places Celtic five points ahead of Rangers in the league standings.
