In three matches between Celtic and Rangers in the 2019/20 season, Celtic won two and lost one. In all honesty, Celtic should have won one and lost two based on how poorly the Scottish champions played in both games in December.
Rangers were certainly the better of the two sides for two of the three matches, but Celtic were able to grind out a victory over Steven Gerrard’s men at Hampden Park in the Betfred Cup Final, despite the lack of quality on the display, outside of Fraser Forster.
Celtic were looking to right their wrongs with Rangers, but the global health crisis caused the SPFL to postpone the season just days before Celtic were to make their second visit to Ibrox.
Now that the season has officially ended with Celtic declared champions, the Hoops will have to wait until August at the earliest before they have another chance to correct past mistakes, and it will likely be without any supporters in attendance.
Now, let’s take a look at what happened and what can be improved upon to send Celtic flying to ten in a row in 2020/21.
