Daizen Maeda scored one of the great Old Firm goals as Celtic came from behind to beat Rangers 3-1 at Celtic Park and move to within a point of Hearts at the top of the Premiership.
Celtic knew a win would close the gap on Derek McInnes’s side after the leaders’ draw with Motherwell on Saturday evening, but they did not get off to the start they wanted as Mikey Moore put the visitors ahead within the opening 10 minutes.
However, Hyun-Jun Yang’s quickfire equaliser got the home team back on level terms before Maeda put his side in front in the second half and then gave Celtic clear daylight with an audacious overhead kick that left Parkhead in disbelief.
The result leaves a Premiership title victory in Celtic’s hands – win their remaining two games, away to Motherwell on Wednesday and then against leaders Hearts on the final day, and they will retain their title.
