Celtic 2-1 Rangers: James Forrest snatches all three points for league leaders

  /  autty

A late James Forrest goal pushed Celtic closer to an eighth-straight title as Neil Lennon's side secured a 2-1 win in a feisty Old Firm clash.

Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring for Celtic with a clever finish after outfoxing Rangers defender Joe Worrall in a one-on-one situation.

Rangers were reduced to ten men in the first half after hot-head Alfredo Morelos picked up his fifth red card of the season on 31 minutes.

But they rallied and pulled level through Ryan Kent in the second half, however Forrest popped up after a mistake by James Tavernier to snatch the win.

Kent somehow managed to avoid another straight red card after that goal for striking Scott Brown, while there was a coming together between both sets of players at full time.
