SCOTT SINCLAIR handed Celtic their first win at Ibrox in almost six years as Brendan Rodgers’ men claimed a 2-1 triumph over Rangers.
Kenny Miller’s early opener gave the hosts hope but Celtic soon established their dominance after Moussa Dembele netted his 19th goal of the season – and his fifth against the Light Blues.
A breathless affair was then settled when Sinclair pounced with 20 minutes left, giving the visitors their first triumph in Govan since a Georgios Samaras-inspired victory in January 2011.
Miller blew the chance to claim a point for Mark Warburton’s team – back in the top flight after their four-year exile – when he scuffed a close-range shot against the post late on.
The rampant Hoops now move 19 points clear at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership after chalking up their 15th straight league win.
