Review

At long last Celtic stand up to Rangers, and get a decent result. One of the Delaney goals absolutely first class.

Likely a surprise result as Celtic were hammerred the previous week 5-1 by St Mirren and have been dreadful most of the season especially since the start of the new calendar year.
