Brendan Rodgers’ side moved six points clear at the top of the table and could now clinch the title on Wednesday
Celtic close in on the title as John Lundstram sees red for Rangers Rodgers claims Clement’s anger over Old Firm remark is ‘without merit’
Cantwell had written on social media that a caged bird cannot fly after being substituted in Rangers’ victory over Kilmarnock, and appeared to have had his wings clipped further by Clement after being left on the bench throughout. Inside the first seven minutes alone, Forrest beat Borna Barisic and saw a low cross scrambled away and twice threatened with left-footed strikes, one of which was tipped over by Jack Butland. Maeda made up five yards to stop James Tavernier’s dangerous attack and soon burst past the Rangers captain and won a corner.
Celtic were two up soon after the restart when Maeda burst down the wing and delivered a low cross that was turned into his own net by Lundstram. The Japanese attacker continued his run into the front two rows of the Lisbon Lions Stand and took some time to re-emerge from the celebrations.
