TWO-GOAL Daizen Maeda and Yang Hyun-jun, with his tenth strike of the season, shot down Danny Rohl’s Ibrox side in Celtic’s rousing 3-1 comeback triumph at Parkhead yesterday.
Apart from a small pocket of visiting supporters, the ground was plunged into silence in the ninth minute when Mikey Moore pounced to put the Govan club ahead.
By the end of the day, however, normal service had been resumed and the place was rocking as the champions sealed three crucial points in a true grit performance, laced with some superb goals.

None, though, has been bettered in this turbulent campaign than Maeda’s gravity-defying overhead-kick in the 57th minute to ensure victory for Martin O’Neill’s men.
Now the focus switches to Fir Park on Wednesday where a dangerous Motherwell side lie in wait.
And then it’s back to Paradise on Saturday for the 12.30pm showdown with league leaders Hearts, currently one point ahead who face Falkirk at Tynecastle in midweek.
In the meantime, the goals from the sixth and final derby confrontation of the crusade are well worth a second look, courtesy of those good folk at Celtic TV Unique Angle.
