Youssef Chermiti was the unexpected Old Firm hero as Rangers completed a superb second-half comeback to defeat Celtic 3-1 in the Scottish Premiership at Parkhead.
An outstanding individual goal from Yang Hyun-Jun (13) put Celtic into the lead early on. However, Chermiti’s quickfire brace (50, 59) in the second 45 turned the game on its head, before Mikey Moore (71) completed the turnaround by grabbing a richly deserved third.
The result means Rangers move level on points with Celtic in second, and three points behind table-topping Hearts, who face Livingston later on Saturday afternoon.
Here’s how The Scotsman rated the performance of each player as Rangers beat Celtic 3-1 at Parkhead.
17. Benjamin Nygren (Celtic) - 4
The Sweden international's numbers cannot be argued with, but he too often goes missing in games, and certainly did today as Rangers took charge of the game as the game wore on. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
18. Mikey Moore (Rangers) - 7
Didn't once get beyond his man in an underwhelming first-half. Thought he'd equalised on the cusp of half-time, but was ruled offside, and it gave him a lift as Rangers completed a second-half comeback. Scored a dream third goal that clinched it for his side. | PA Photo: PA
19. Daizen Maeda (Celtic) - 5
Brightened up in the second-half after a quiet first 45. He became more involved offensively. Fired a shot wide from inside the area on the hour - a chance he probably would have scored last season. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
20. Djeidi Gassama (Rangers) - 6
A game of two halves for the Frenchman. Went close with a chip, but lost possession too easily when on the attack. Looked much more dangerous in the second-half as Celtic's confidence began to wane. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
