Celtic fans were left raging by how Vaclav Cerny celebrated Rangers<\/a>’ late winner in the Old Firm derby.<\/p>\n

It appeared as though Celtic had salvaged a draw after coming from 2-0 down to level the Scottish Premiership<\/a> match at 2-2.<\/p>\n

Rangers raced into a two-goal lead thanks to first-half goals from Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande.<\/p>\n

Daizen Maeda gave the Celtic Park faithful hope shortly after the half-time break before Reo Hatate levelled for the hosts.<\/p>\n

The momentum was fully with Celtic but Rangers responded brilliantly and scored a late winner through Hamza Igamane’s superb strike.<\/p>\n

The goal sparked bedlam in the away end and on Rangers’ bench, with the coaching staff and substitutes going wild.<\/p>\n

Cerny, who has just been subbed off, ran down the touchline and sprayed the nearby Celtic fans with a water bottle.<\/p>\n

The fans understandably looked furious at being drenched but Cerny was hailed as a ‘hero’ by Rangers supporters on social media.<\/p>\n

His captain, James Tavernier, said he was ‘delighted’ by Rangers’ response as they inflicted a first Scottish Premiership defeat on Celtic since December 2023.<\/p>\n

‘Obviously happy to get the result,’ he told Sky Sports. ‘We had a really good first half and maybe sat off a bit much second half.<\/p>\n

‘Delighted to get the three points. It’s been a good week for the club. We showed resilience, we were brave on the ball and took our chances. We were clinical.<\/p>\n

‘With the character we’ve shown in the past few weeks, we had belief to the end and Hamza pulls off a great goal. Delighted for the boys.’<\/p>\n

Player of the match and Rangers goalscorer Raskin added: ‘It’s amazing to score and make the stadium a bit calmer.<\/p>\n

‘The gaffer wanted us to go aggressive and put the pressure. It was really good.’<\/p>\n

Despite the victory, Rangers remain 13 points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.<\/p>\n

The Ibrox club struggled under former manager Philippe Clement but look vastly improved under interim boss Barry Ferguson, beating Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce last week<\/a> to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League.<\/p>\n

‘Rangers showed bundles of character today,’ ex-Celtic manager Neil Lennon said.<\/p>\n

‘Celtic weren’t functioning as well as they could have done. You can’t give a two-goal lead to any team, particularly your biggest rivals.<\/p>\n

‘Celtic get it back to 2-2 and then switch off. It’s a hell of a finish to win it.’<\/p>\n

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton added: ‘Celtic missed Callum McGregor’s leadership and they missed his quality. <\/p>\n

‘It was so careless the goal they gave away for the winner. I think Cameron Carter-Vickers ducks out of the way. <\/p>\n

‘Rangers have beaten Celtic twice this season, but they are not going to win the league. <\/p>\n

‘They play well when the pressure isn’t on. In many ways they’ll be kicking themselves, because they can produce performances like today but they’re miles away.’<\/p>\n
