Celtic, away from home, displaces Rangers and takes back the Scottish lead

The first Super Classic between Rangers and Celtic of the 2023/24 Scottish Championship took place this Sunday morning (9/3). In their domain, packed Ibrox Stadium, Rangers looked to maintain a 22-game home unbeaten run (19 wins). But he regretted two goals disallowed and great chances scored. This way it got worse. With a beautiful goal by Furuhashi, at the end of the first half, Celtic, reigning national champions, won 1-0.

The match was for the fourth round of the championship and Celtic jumped to ten points, top (but can still be joined by Motherwell, who have seven sevens). Rangers trailed within six points.

Celtic wins and continues to reign in Scotland

The game was quite curious. After all, it was Celtic, looking to pace the game, who had more possession. And even if he finished much less (14 – 6), he was much more effective: four of his balls went on goal, while Rangers, in addition to two goals disallowed in the first half, had chances in front of goal, but their attackers drove them out. Thus, in the 38th minute of the final phase, goalkeeper Hart only had to work on a shot by the Brazilian Danilo (who was part of the base of Vasco and Santos).

Celtic, when they found spaces, were dangerous. And he scored in the 46th minute: a shot from goalkeeper Hart ended with Furuhashi entering the box. In the second half each team had two golden chances, but the ball didn’t go in.
