Igamane stunner lifts Rangers to Old Firm win
Hamza Igamane was Rangers' Old Firm derby hero as his late strike clinched a 3-2 win over bitter rival Celtic.
Rangers had given up a 2-0 lead as Scottish Premiership leader Celtic fought back in the second half, but the visitor had the final say in a thrilling encounter.
Celtic was left stunned inside four minutes, with Nicolas Raskin seeing a dipping shot pushed away by Kasper Schmeichel before he glanced in the resulting corner with a delightful header.
Vaclav Cerny was gifted the opportunity to double Rangers' lead – Schmeichel was out of his box when making a loose clearance, but the Czech took too long with an empty net ahead of him and was thwarted by Maik Nawrocki.
Mohamed Diomande made no such mistake in the 37th minute. He was unmarked as he latched onto Raskin's flick in the middle of the box and coolly slotted past Schmeichel.
It was Celtic which made a quick start to the second half, though. Daizen Maeda, who had seen an effort cleared off the line by Dujon Sterling on the stroke of half-time, rose highest to nod Jota's looping cross in at the far post.
Celtic dragged itself level in the 74th minute, with Luke McCowan's reverse pass opening space on the right of the box, and Reo Hatate peeled off his defender to guide his shot into the far corner for the equaliser.
Yet there was to be another twist in the 88th minute, as Igamane kept his cool under pressure on the edge of Celtic's box, riding the challenge from Cameron Carter-Vickers before lashing a stunning strike into the top corner.
Celtic almost levelled deep in stoppage time, but Alistair Johnston sent his first-time effort blazing over Jack Butland's crossbar.
