Rangers and Celtic both featured in Premiership matches over the weekend, with both games broadcast live on Sunday. Celtic took on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park and, despite not playing their best, managed to secure a victory through goals by Callum McGregor and Nicolas Kuhn. Later, Rangers faced the challenge of narrowing Celtic’s substantial 12-point lead, achieving a 1-0 win thanks to Cyriel Dessers’ goal. However, the performance didn’t fully satisfy fans, who expressed frustration during the game.
One of the highlights of the latest news is Ianis Hagi’s return to the Rangers lineup. After a loan stint with Alaves in Spain and a period sidelined by contract issues, Hagi is now back under the guidance of Rangers manager Philippe Clement. Reflecting on his time in Spain, Hagi told Rangers TV that he enjoyed experiencing a different football culture and approach to coaching but struggled with the less intense focus on winning each game. The experience, however, helped him learn more about himself and his preferences as a player, and he’s now thrilled to be back at Rangers, where he feels at home.
Meanwhile, Alan Shearer expressed his admiration for Celtic’s Matt O’Riley. After O’Riley’s record-breaking £30 million transfer from Parkhead this summer—making it the most expensive transfer for a Scottish player—he suffered a long-term ankle injury in his first match with Brighton during the Carabao Cup. Finally returning to Premier League action, O’Riley scored the winning goal against Manchester City, a feat celebrated by Shearer, who acknowledged it as a proud moment for the young Celtic talent.
