RANGERS piled more misery on Celtic by beating them 2-0 at Ibrox in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

The Light Blues wrested the Premiership title back from their Old Firm rivals for the first time in a decade this season and ensured the cup would also be leaving Parkhead for the first time in five years.

Midfielder Steven Davis gave the home side the lead in the 10th minute with an improvised finish, before Parkhead full-back Jonjoe Kenny put through his own goal in the 33rd minute under pressure from Gers attacker Ryan Kent.

Interim Celtic boss John Kennedy’s side missed a series of chances, including a 79th-minute penalty which Gers keeper Allan McGregor, in another terrific performance, saved from Hoops striker Odsonne Edouard.

Steven Gerrard’s men, now unbeaten in the last five Glasgow derbies, host St Johnstone in the quarter-finals, looking to march on to a league and cup double, while Celtic have to regroup this summer.

Kent started the attack by leaving Parkhead skipper Scott Brown in his wake in the middle of the park before Celtic defender Stephen Welsh brought him down.

After referee Bobby Madden signalled for play to go on, Joe Aribo drove into the box. When the ball struck Hoops defender Kris Ajer and looped into the air, Davis’s acrobatic strike from six yards beat keeper Scott Bain.

Celtic furiously fought back with efforts from striker Edouard, Ryan Christie and Callum McGregor and, as the visitors kept up the pressure, Welsh, from five yards out, somehow redirected a cross from David Turnbull away from goal before Ajer’s drive was blocked by Gers defender Filip Helander on the line.

Back came Rangers, but with more end product.

Aribo beat Diego Laxalt on the right flank before firing the ball to the near post, where Kenny, on loan from Everton, turned it past Bain in an attempt to prevent Kent from applying the finishing touch.

Celtic, with Greg Taylor on for Laxalt, started the second half at top speed and Allan McGregor was quickly involved, tipping a Turnbull drive past the post for a corner which was defended.

In the 57th minute, Celtic had the chance to reduce the deficit when McGregor parried a drive from Mohamed Elyounoussi into the path of Edouard, but the striker’s effort from six yards sailed over the bar.

Scotland striker Leigh Griffiths replaced Christie in the 72nd minute and when he was pushed inside the box by Aribo, referee Madden pointed to the spot.

Edouard stepped forward, but his shot was saved by McGregor, who dived to his right. The Rangers defence cleared the loose ball to safety, with the incident summing up the day.
