Rangers 3-0 Celtic: Michael Beale’s side ease to Old Firm victory as champions fail to impress

Rangers eased to their first Old Firm win of the season to end a below-par Celtic’s hopes of a record points tally.

With Rangers looking to end a disappointing campaign on a high, Todd Cantwell fired them ahead after just five minutes of a frantic match at Ibrox.

The champions struggled to find a way into the game and John Souttar headed in his first goal for the club before the break as the hosts took control.

Robby McCrorie then denied Matt O’Riley and Reo Hatate before a defensive mix-up gifted Fashion Sakala Rangers’ third to put the game out of reach.

Michael Beale’s first victory over Celtic ends their hopes of surpassing the club’s record points tally of 106.
