Rangers moved above Celtic in the cinch Premiership table with a hard-fought win over Hibernian at Ibrox this afternoon.
CELTIC will be in first place in the cinch Premiership table when they cross the River Clyde to play Rangers in Govan next Sunday if they beat bottom-placed Livingston at Almondvale tomorrow.
However, the match was not level for long. Cyriel Dessers gave Rangers the lead again in the seventh minute of added-on time when he got on the end of a Todd Cantwell cross and headed in off the underside of the crossbar. He urged his colleague to have a look back at the flashpoint on his pitchside monitor and a penalty was duly awarded and a yellow card shown.
But they could have no complaints. VAR got both calls spot on. If only the decisions could have been arrived at a little quicker.Tavernier’s prowess from 12 yards out is such that Rangers supporters now start to chant his name on the, er, rare occasions their team are awarded a penalty. Not that it deterred him. He promptly teed up Dessers with a scoring chance his team mate should have buried. He was a deserved recipient of the Man of the Match champagne.Park at the end of last month – and he was hooked at half-time in that game with the visitors trailing 1-0.
But Barisic was replaced by Ross McCausland in the second half as Dujon Sterling moved into his berth. Could the utility player be preferred to him against Celtic? He played at left back in the derby game back in September.Rangers’ hopes of beating Celtic for the first time this season have been lifted by the return of a few key men from injury.
