Scottish Premier League Round 2: Celtic edge past Rangers, moving ahead in the standings

Updated:2025-12-25 07:42    Views:195

The Scottish Premier League kicked off its season with two games on Saturday, and one of them was between two of the league's most storied teams, Celtic and Rangers.

Celtic were looking to continue their impressive start to the season, having already beaten Motherwell and Inverness CT by a combined score of 11-0. But they would face a much tougher test against Rangers, who had won their opening game against Hibernian and were hoping to build on that success.

In the end, it was Celtic who came out on top, winning 4-2 at Ibrox Stadium. The first half was dominated by Rangers, who took the lead through a brace from Ryan Jack. However, Celtic responded with a goal from Callum McGregor and another from Scott Arfield, before adding a third through another strike from McGregor.

Rangers did not give up, though, and they pulled one back through a goal from James Tavernier. But Celtic held on for all three points, and moved into second place in the table.

This win is a big boost for Celtic, who have now played two full games and sit just behind Rangers in the standings. They will be hoping to keep this momentum going as they look to build on their strong start to the season.

Overall, it was a closely contested match, with both teams putting in strong performances. But in the end, it was Celtic who emerged victorious, securing their spot in the top tier of Scottish football. It will be interesting to see how they perform over the rest of the season, but for now, they are definitely on track to make a strong challenge for the title.
