Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo opened the scoring this Saturday and helped secure victory in the historic Old Firm classic, named after the football match between Celtic and Rangers (2-1).
In the match of the 21st round of the Scottish Football League, a big game between two teams from Glasgow went in favor of the two-time defending champions: Celtic secured victory with goals from Paulo Bernardo in the 25th minute and Furuhashi in the 47th.
Very close to the end and already reduced to 10 men due to Balogun’s sending off in the 71st minute, Rangers were reduced by James Tavernier in the 88th minute.
In the Old Firm’s 333rd place in the Scottish League, 131 years after the first one was played in 1891, Celtic took the opportunity to move away at the top of the Championship, now with eight points more than Rangers, but with two behind less games.
Paulo Bernardo, 21, on loan from Benfica at Celtic, scored his second goal for the team after scoring the first on the last matchday in a 3-0 win over Dundee.
