Daizen Maeda delivered one of the great Old Firm goals as Celtic came from behind to beat Rangers 3-1 at Celtic Park. The Japanese forward's audacious overhead kick sealed the victory and moved Brendan Rodgers' side within a point of Hearts at the Premiership summit. Celtic knew a win would close the gap after Hearts drew with Motherwell, but they fell behind when Mikey Moore scored within the opening 10 minutes before Hyun-Jun Yang's equalizer.

Celtic dominated after the break, with Maeda stealing in front of Emmanuel Fernandez to put the home team ahead. His spectacular overhead kick from 15 yards left Parkhead in disbelief and Jack Butland with no chance. Rangers controlled possession but looked toothless in attack, with Bojan Miovski hitting the bar late on as Celtic held firm to complete their dramatic comeback against their fierce rivals.

The result leaves Celtic's title fate in their own hands - victory in their remaining games against Motherwell and Hearts will secure another championship. For Rangers, Danny Rohl became the first manager since Dick Advocaat in 2000 to lose three consecutive games, with a third-placed finish guaranteed. The win keeps Celtic's title hopes alive with just two games remaining, setting up a potentially decisive final day showdown against league leaders Hearts.
