Celtic player ratings vs Rangers as Kyogo and Alistair Johnston shine in derby day victory

Celtic finally extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership after three months of waiting in a 3-2 derby day win over Rangers at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Despite the last league meeting between the duo falling on January 2 - well over three months ago - both teams have won every single league game possible since, with the gap remaining at nine points for the entirety of the calendar year. That run would have carried on further today with a draw, though it was Celtic who had the final laugh on a sunny day in the east end of Glasgow.

Kyogo's offside goal early on threw warning signs for the away side, who despite the attacking line up of Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Malik Tillman, rarely threatened the Celtic goal in the first half. They thought they had taken the lead themselves when Morelos turned home from a corner, though he was perhaps harshly adjudged to have fouled Alistair Johnston in the build-up via VAR.
