After a shocking first-half onslaught, Ange's Celtic smash their biggest rivals in the Old Firm Derby.




Celtic have overtaken Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership, with Ange Postecoglou's side winning 3-0 thanks to a scorching first-half in which Japanese international Reo Hatate scored twice.


The victory ended a 787-day wait for the Hoops to beat Rangers, and it was also Postecoglou's first Old Firm derby victory.
