On Sunday, sixty thousand spectators gathered at "Parkhead" stadium to witness a new record - the seventh consecutive victory in front of the fans.
In the 85th minute of the match, Celtic player Ross Wallace passed the ball into the penalty area, where Alan Thompson, with a left-footed shot, hit the top corner of the opponents' goal. Rangers goalkeeper Stefan Klos was powerless to save the team. Celtic 1-0 Rangers.
This defeat extended Rangers' streak of failures. On Wednesday, the team was eliminated from the Champions League tournament. In the Scottish top league, Rangers are now five points behind unbeaten Celtic.
Rangers coach Alex McLeish admitted that he understands Rangers have fallen far behind, but it is still early in the season, and today's disappointment will not break the team. According to the coach, the match was beautiful, and every player knows they did their best - it just didn't work out.
In other Scottish top league matches, Kilmarnock defeated Andrius Skerla's Dunfermline 1-0. Dunfermline remains at the bottom of the league table.
