Celtic humiliate Rangers at Ibrox

-

Celtic remain on course for an unbeaten season after the Scottish Premiershi­p champions thrashed Old Firm rivals Rangers 5-1 at Ibrox yesterday.

Scott Sinclair put the visitors on their way from the penalty spot on seven minutes after Patrick Roberts was tripped by Myles Beerman’s reckless challenge.

Leigh Griffiths doubled Celtic’s lead before half-time and three goals after the break by Callum McGregor (52), Dedryck Boyata (61) and Mikael Lustig (87) completed their scoring.

Kenny Miller, who signed a one-year contract extension with Rangers on Friday, netted a consolatio­n for the hosts (81).

Celtic dominated throughout at the home of their fierce rivals and are now five matches away from ending the domestic campaign without defeat.

The champions, who beat Rangers 2-0 in their Scottish Cup semi-final last Sunday, have won five of the six Old Firm meetings this season.
