Daizen Maeda's brilliance takes Celtic past Rangers and puts Hearts on spot
"Daizen Maeda stole in front of Emmanuel Fernandez to prod O'Neill's team in front. Rather than offer a strong response, Rangers wilted. Maeda's second of the game was a stunner, the Japanese flicking the ball up before producing an outrageous overhead kick that looped over Jack Butland. A Bojan Miovski header that hit the bar in stoppage time was the sum of Rangers' reply."
Celtic’s 3-1 win over Rangers tightened the Scottish Premiership title race. Celtic need only two more wins to defend the league, while Rangers face growing doubts after another second-half collapse. Rangers finished trophyless and third in a two-horse race despite major spending. Celtic moved to within a point and three goals of Hearts, with Motherwell next and a potential title-deciding match at Celtic Park against Hearts on Saturday. Rangers took the lead when Mikey Moore scored after Youssef Chermiti’s shot was blocked. Yang Hyun-jun equalized, but Celtic then scored twice through Daizen Maeda, including an overhead-kick goal. Rangers’ only late chance was a Bojan Miovski header that struck the bar.
