Review
Celtic badly missed the drive of the injured Murdo MacLeod in midfield and went down meekly at Ibrox.
The pressure was all on Rangers after their humiliating 3-0 defeat to Chesterfield in midweek.
Dom Sullivan was clear on goal in only 30 seconds and shot tamely at McCloy. After that Celtic were never in it.
Willie Johnston gave Alan Sneddon a torrid time and all the Rangers goals came from crosses that Bonner and his defenders struggled to deal with.
Celtic only showed urgency when Doyle and McCluskey came on as subs but it was too late by then.
