The Scottish Premier League kicked off its new season on Sunday, and Celtic were the team to watch as they faced Rangers at Ibrox Stadium. The game was a closely contested affair, with both teams showing great skill and determination.

However, it was Celtic who came out on top, thanks to a late fightback that saw them secure a 2-1 victory over their arch-rivals. The match began with both teams looking sharp, but it was Celtic who took the lead after just three minutes when Callum McGregor found the back of the net from a corner kick.

Rangers fought back strongly in the second half, and were almost level before half-time when a penalty awarded for handball was missed by the referee. However, Celtic regrouped and scored again through substitute Scott Sinclair in the 78th minute.

The final goal of the match came in stoppage time when a cross from Callum McGregor found Steven Davis unmarked at the back post, and he headed home to seal the win for Celtic.

This result will be a huge boost for Celtic, who have been without a title since 2016. It also means that they will go into next week's Champions League qualifier against Eintracht Frankfurt as favorites.

Overall, it was a thrilling match between two of Scotland's most successful clubs, and Celtic showed why they are still one of the best teams in Europe. They now face a tough task in the coming weeks, but they will be confident of making a strong start to their campaign.
