Celtic v Rangers – Story of the match

Hoops wrapped up a seventh consecutive Ladbrokes Premiership title.

Celtic celebrated winning their seventh straight Ladbrokes Premiership crown with a merciless 5-0 drubbing of Rangers at Parkhead.

Odsonne Edouard, the 20-year-old French striker on loan from Paris St Germain, scored a first-half double with James Forrest adding a third before the break to send Hoops fans into a half-time frenzy.

Celtic’s current dominance over their city rivals was underlined after the break as midfielders Tom Rogic and Callum McGregor added further goals to spark off the familiar celebrations with three fixtures remaining.

Data point

Rodgers has enjoyed four-goal winning margins three times since taking over last season but this five-goal pasting is the Hoops’ biggest derby triumph over Gers since 1895 and takes the manager’s Old Firm record to 11 games without defeat.
