In a thrilling Old Firm clash, Celtic emerged victorious with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rangers. The match was a testament to the fierce rivalry between the two Glasgow clubs, and it was Brendan Rodgers’ men who secured the bragging rights. Despite missing several key defensive players, Celtic’s talismanic attacker Kyogo Furuhashi stole the show with a stunning early strike from 20 yards. The Japanese forward’s goal proved to be the difference maker, catching Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland off guard.
Kyogo’s Derby Dominance
Kyogo Furuhashi’s goal against Rangers marked his sixth strike against the Light Blues in 2023. His remarkable record includes a late equalizer in a 2-2 draw earlier in the season and two crucial goals in the Viaplay Cup, where Celtic secured a 2-1 victory. The Bhoys’ faithful have embraced Kyogo, elevating him to near-iconic status.
Rangers’ Frustration
Despite their efforts, Rangers couldn’t find the attacking spark needed to breach Celtic’s defense. Joe Hart stood firm in goal, denying the home side any breakthrough. Now, as the international break approaches, both teams will regroup and prepare for the next chapter in this storied rivalry.
