Celtic have shifted their attention elsewhere after an intense Glasgow Derby stalemate at Ibrox last weekend. The game saw goals from Daizen Maeda, Matt O’Riley, and Adam Idah, which secured a precious point for the Bhoys in the face of a late comeback by the hosts.

Despite the game ending in a deadlock, Brendan Rodgers commended his team’s courage and resilient performance under challenging circumstances. “We are disappointed not to secure a win, but leaving with everything in our control is a proud moment for us,” stated the Irishman post-match.

On the other hand, Rangers’ manager Philippe Clement suggested his team were the ‘moral winners’ of the derby, a perspective that was quickly refuted by Neil Lennon, the former Celtic manager. Lennon dismissed Clement’s comments, emphasizing the importance of tangible results over moral victories in such high-stakes clashes.

Looking ahead, Celtic will face St Mirren in their upcoming fixture, providing an opportunity to claim the top spot in the Scottish Premiership if they secure a victory. As the title race unfolds, both Celtic and their rivals are gearing up for a potentially thrilling culmination to the season, with twists and turns still expected.

Lennon also expressed doubts about Rangers’ strengths, suggesting that they may struggle against top-tier competition despite their current form. The season’s climax will undoubtedly be intense for both teams, with the prospects of a domestic double still alive for Rodgers’ men as they strive towards success in May.
