If Brendan Rodgers could just face Rangers every week, he may have few problems. This marked his 15th Old Firm game over two tenures at Celtic. He has tasted defeat once. That Philippe Clement is the fifth permanent Rangers manager Rodgers has faced tells a story.
When Celtic were in need of a kickstart to this season in September, they went to Ibrox and won comfortably. Something about this derby time and again brings out the best in a Rodgers team.
