20. ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY
CELTIC 5 -0 THE RANGERS
SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP 29 APRIL 2018
Celtic lost the previous weekend at Hibs so had to wait for the visit of The Rangers to wrap up the title. The scoreline was 5-0 with half an hour to go so why Celtic took the foot off their throats we’ll never know. The iconic 7-1 scoreline from 1957 against the old Rangers was never likely to be repeated as that would have meant them scoring. However Celtic could and should have reached that total when the opportunity was there.
Edouard scored twice in the first half and James Forrest got the third just before the interval – his first against any Rangers team. Tom Rogic and Callum McGregor got the second half goals – McGregor’s fifth coming in 53 minutes. We should have piled the on but it was a league winning day and another Beautiful Sunday.
