Celtic trolls Rangers over Ibrox woe as champions turn up the heat on stricken rivals. The Hoops sizzled in the 5-1 demolition of Kilmarnock before Derek McInnes' side came unstuck at Ibrox after they suffered a last-gasp defeat thanks to Callum Wright's strike. Celtic opened up a five-point gap after only three games and their official account piled on with a less-than-subtle jab in the direction of their city rivals.
What happened?
Celtic's official account posted a message on their 'On The Road' series, stating: "Sundays done (W)right." This was a reference to the Hibs goalscorer's strike which has left McInnes winless in his first three competitive games as Rangers boss.
Why it matters for Celtic
The stakes will get higher on Thursday night as Polish side Lech Poznan arrive at Ibrox for their third-round Europa League qualifying clash with a 2-1 lead after the first leg. Rangers supremos Paraag Marathe, Andrew Cavenagh, and Jim Gillespie - speaking at the club's shareholder meeting on Monday - were robust in their defence of McInnes after his shaky start since joining from Hearts.
What comes next?
Celtic are currently on a 5-game winning run, with a recent form of 5W-0D-0L (WWWWW). They are 3 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian in the title race. The Hoops have scored 59 goals this season, conceding 35 and boasting a +24 goal difference. Currently sidelined is Jota.
Celtic's recent form has been impressive, with a 5-1 demolition of Kilmarnock and a 3-1 win over Heart of Midlothian. The Hoops are looking strong in the Premiership, and their official account is not afraid to troll their rivals. With a 5-game winning run and a 3-point gap behind leaders Heart of Midlothian, Celtic are a force to be reckoned with in the title race.
