Hamilton 0-2 Rangers: Ianis Hagi and James Tavernier on target as Steven Gerrard's side equal 114-year-old Celtic record
Forced out of the away dressing-room due to Covid protocol, the Rangers players changed in a selection of New Douglas Park anterooms including a portakabin and a burger shack. The preparation was unconventional but the fare served up by Steven Gerrard’s players was the kind of staple victory with which title challenges are nourished. There was nothing flashy about Rangers’ play, nor the goals scored by Ianis Hagi and James Tavernier, but this was another fixture to chalk off as Celtic continue to play catch-up with their three games in hand.
