"Mikey Moore tucked home in the ninth minute to put Rangers ahead at Celtic Park. Yet that was about as threatening as Rangers got all game, as Danny Rohl's team slumped to a third straight defeat, which means they will finish third. Yang Hyun-jun swept home an equaliser at the end of a slick team move in the 23rd minute. And the fervent home crowd had more to celebrate early in the second half, when Maeda diverted in from Kieran Tierney's low cross."
"Maeda capped off the turnaround in sensational style four minutes later, sending an audacious bicycle kick looping into the top-right corner.

Bojan Miovski hit the crossbar for Rangers in stoppage time, but they never truly threatened a comeback of their own."
"Celtic's win means they are a point off Hearts heading into the final two matches of the season, after the leaders drew 1-1 with Motherwell on Saturday. Hearts can win the title on Wednesday should they beat Falkirk and Celtic lose to Motherwell. Any other scenario, however, means the title race will go to the final day, when Celtic host Hearts in what could be a winner-takes-all clash."
"Celtic, meanwhile, have reeled off five straight victories, which is their best run since O'Neill's first spell in charge this season, between October and December. This was, however, Celtic's first league win over Rangers after a streak of six derbies without a victory, which was their longest such run since the 1990s. Maeda was the hero. He has scored in three successive appearances in the league for the first time since March 2025."
Mikey Moore put Rangers ahead in the ninth minute at Celtic Park. Yang Hyun-jun equalised in the 23rd minute after a slick team move. Maeda then scored in the early second half by diverting in Kieran Tierney’s low cross, before completing the turnaround four minutes later with an audacious bicycle kick into the top-right corner. Rangers had limited threat throughout the match, with Bojan Miovski hitting the crossbar in stoppage time. The result ended Rangers’ third straight league defeat and left them set to finish third. Celtic moved to within one point of Hearts with two matches remaining, with the title potentially decided on Wednesday or the final day.
