What the Celtic and Rangers pundits said as Stiliyan Petrov 'loses respect' for Connor Goldson

It was another eventful Old Firm derby as Celtic ran riot to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership.

The defending champions were on form from the first minute and led before the clock struck ten with Liel Abada's effort squirming under Jon McLaughlin. Jota added a brilliant second and it was getting out of sight before the half-time break when Abada turned in his sixth goal in seven games to put his side three to the good.

With both sides in Champions League action during the week, it was no huge surprise to see feet come off the gas in the second half. Gio van Bronckhorst had a go with Alfredo Morelos flung on for the final half-hour, but a miraculous comeback was not forthcoming, and a clanger from McLaughlin handed David Turnbull a late fourth on a plate. The convincing win sent the Hoops five points clear at the top of the table.
