Neither Rangers nor Celtic have enjoyed the seasons they had hoped for. Both sides have sacked their managers and find themselves behind shock leaders Hearts in the Scottish Premiership title race.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was Rangers who showed the most impressive form. Ahead of the derby, Danny Rolle&#8217;s side were unbeaten in six games, including a frenetic 4-2 win over Hearts.<\/p>\n<p>That momentum was on full display in the first half. The Gers stormed past their rivals and, unsurprisingly, scored the opening goal in sensational fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the criticism he&#8217;s received from time to time this season, there&#8217;s no denying that Youssef Cermiti is a big-game player. He scored twice against Celtic earlier this season, scored a hat-trick against Hearts last month and scored his best goal of the season at Ibrox at his old club.<\/p>\n<p>His first shot was sensational, but what happened next highlighted just how calm the former Everton man is in the big moments. The forward looked as if he had had enough time in the world as he held the ball past Julian Araujo and effortlessly finished. With a 2-0 lead, Celtic looked inferior.<\/p>\n<p>But birthday boy Martin O&#8217;Neill quickly made a difference and with Kieran Tierney&#8217;s header Celtic were no longer against the ropes and hit big.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"after-leaving-rangers-tillman-is-now-better-than-moore-skov-olsen\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skov-olsen-miovski-tavernier.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skov-olsen-miovski-tavernier.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_years_after_leaving_Rangers_the_58m_star_is_now_better_than_Moore_and_Skov_Olsen\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tTwo years after leaving Rangers, the \u00a358m star is now better than Moore and Skov Olsen<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">One of the former Rangers stars has blossomed since leaving Ibrox.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A late hand from Dujon Sterling then gave Reo Hatate a chance to advance to the final, and he converted two penalties after a save from Jack Butland to score the final equalizer.<\/p>\n<p>On a day that started with Celmitie&#8217;s brilliance and ended with standard-bearer&#8217;s luck, it was Hearts who were the real winners.
