Celtic went top of the Scottish Premiership after thrashing arch-rivals Rangers three-zero in an Old Firm Derby staged on Wednesday night at Celtic Park.
Rangers have been continually going to find it tough to address the needs of the floor as there aren't any away fanatics allowed into stadiums in Scotland in the mean time and it best took 5 mins for the hosts to take the lead.
Japanese midfielder gave the hosts the lead after 5 mins whilst he slotted domestic courtesy of a deflected after a properly-taken corner had landed in his direction.

Visiting goalkeeper Allan McGregor had to produce three greater saves to preserve out the hosts but it was only a count of time as Hatate added a second 3 mins to the smash earlier than Celtic added a third two minutes later thru Liel Abada.
It turned into Rangers' first loss in opposition to Celtic when you consider that 2019 with the win seeing the Hoops leapfrogging their opponent to the top of the table with a one-factor hole difference; each groups having played 24 games.
