Looking ahead, Rangers need to keep the momentum going, as they remain 11 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table. While this match could mark the turning point for Philippe Clement's side, the pressure is now on them to stop being just a one-hit wonder. Can they build on their Old Firm success? Only time will tell, and with the league title still on the line, fans will eagerly anticipate every upcoming clash.
