Rangers look like they know where they want to go
Developing
In Short: Rangers secured their second victory over Celtic in a week, with Ryan Naderi's goal sealing the win.
Ryan Naderi's goal gave Rangers a decisive victory over Celtic in their second derby win this week, with Celtic manager Neil Lennon pondering his team's future after the defeat.
At half-time, Rangers were not only leading but also dominating the pitch, mirroring their performance from the previous Sunday's match.
Rangers' victory marked the first time a manager had won his first two games against Celtic since Graeme Souness in 1986.
While Rangers were clearly deserving of the win, they did not quite match the ruthlessness they displayed in their previous match at Ibrox.
The oldest Rangers player in the starting lineup, James Penrice, was 27, highlighting the team's youthful vigor.
