Rangers did what they had to do in their 2-0 win over Celtic this afternoon.
The Hoops had a plethora of chances to make the tie more interesting after Steven Davis's incredible overhead kick and Jonjoe Kenny's own goal doubled the lead.
But Odsonne Edouard was poor and missed a host of chances on his own which allowed Steven Gerrard's side to hold on.
Steven Davis with the acrobatics! 😱
