Kyogo Furuhashi’s stunning strike earned Celtic a 1-0 at Ibrox victory in the first Old Firm game of the season after Rangers saw two early goals disallowed.
Rabbi Matondo’s effort inside the opening minute was ruled out for offside before Kemar Roofe’s goal was controversially disallowed for a foul in the build-up.
Kyogo, who passed up two early opportunities, then smashed the ball into the net from outside the box to silence the home crowd just before the break.
Rangers had chances through Sam Lammers and Danilo but could not find a way past the defending champions who move four points ahead of them going into the international break.
