### Celtic Comeback: 2-1 Victory Over Rangers Sees Them Temporarily Top Scottish Premiership Standings

The Glasgow-based football club Celtic secured their first home victory in the Scottish Premiership this season against Rangers, securing them a temporary top spot in the table. The game was played on Saturday at Ibrox Stadium and saw Celtic come from behind to claim a 2-1 win.

#### Opening Scorer

The match began with a spirited display from both teams, but it wasn't until the 34th minute that Celtic finally broke the deadlock. A corner kick was taken by Callum McGregor, who floated a ball into the box where Steven Nzonzi headed it past goalkeeper Ryan McGinn.

#### Celtic's Response

Despite being down one goal, Celtic responded quickly. In the 55th minute, substitute Scott Sinclair pounced on a loose ball and slotted home from close range, equalizing the score for the visitors. This move sparked a frenzied Celtic attack, and they continued to press their advantage throughout the second half.

#### Final Moments

In the 76th minute, Celtic took the lead again when striker Wes Banting delivered a cross into the box, and Scott Brown volleyed it past McGinn to secure the crucial point.

#### Impact on League Table

#### Post-match Comments

Manager Brendan Rodgers praised his team’s resilience and determination, particularly in the second half. He said, "We showed great character and dug deep to get the result we needed. It's been a tough season so far, but we're making progress."

Rangers manager Neil Lennon expressed disappointment, saying, "We didn't perform well enough today. We were outplayed and let ourselves down. We need to improve our defensive work and find better solutions offensively."

#### Next Steps

Both clubs will look to capitalize on their recent form and continue their push towards the top of the league. Celtic will face Hearts in their next match, while Rangers will take on Aberdeen.

This victory represents a positive step for Celtic, who have struggled to find consistency in recent seasons. With their improved performance and the potential to climb higher in the league, Celtic fans can expect more exciting games ahead.
