The training won 3-2 by their Rangers rivals in Paradise, closing the gap between two sides to 13 points, thanks to the 88th minute of Thunderbolt from Hamz Igamane.
Rangers needed that late winning strike after Brendan Rodgers‘The side returned from 2-0 down to score 2-2 with the goals of Daizen Maede and Reo Hatate.
Finally, it was a bad performance of the hoop in front of their supporters, and one player who had a hard afternoon was Crystal Palace’s loan to Jeffrey Schlupp.
Celts have failed their full escapes
International Gane was chosen to begin in front of Scottish defender Greg Taylor, who was an unused replacement but did not reward Rodgers for his faith in him.
Schlupp got down in the introductory four minutes when he allowed Nicolas Raskol to run on him from James Tavernier to reach 1-0 aside.

Schlupp was far from the worst player on the field, despite his mistake because of his initial goal, as Alistair Johnston put his worst appearance in the Celtic shirt this season.
Celtic -O’s worst artist at Old Derby
The Canadian internationary was even worse than a hide in the palace and betrayed himself with an atypically bad showing right back on Sunday.
Johnston is usually a reliable Celt operator, complete 86% of its passages And winning 56% of his duels in the premiere of this season, but he was nothing but reliable against the Rangers.
It was the most goals that the defender was guilty, even in part, in one match this season, because he left a lot of what he wished for two of the three ranges goals.
Johnston, to whom he was handed over Player rating 4/10 Glasgow World because of his slow efforts to defend the goals, he did not follow Dionanda running into the frame, and then he was too slow to close the midfield before his strike found his lower corner.
The 26-year-old Flop then slipped into a vital moment from Punta Jack Butland forward to give Igamane the ball, before missing an attempt to challenge to regain the situation and inadvertently place the ball for the attacker to hit it in the semi-empty.

As you can see in the table above, Johnston was even worse than Schluppa with his game and in the possession, as he lost the ball 27 times.
Either Most times This season he lost possession of a premiership match, which is the first time he has missed a ‘great chance’, until he has been able to create chances for his teammates at the same time of this term.
He had a tremendous chance to equalize with one of the last hits of the match as he collapsed to the Far Post from the Cross, only to make his efforts high and wide, instead of asking for a point for his team.
These statistics, with his mistakes for two of the three goals of Rangers, suggest that it was his worst depiction of the hoop in the current campaign, because he was messy with the ball, as well as how weak his defensive work was.
Rodgers must hope that Johnston is using an international break to get this appearance from his system, so at the end of this month he has his usual reliable star at best against Hearts.
