Scotland: Celtic and Rangers both win

Now for an update from Scotland as Celtic and Rangers both win

Celtic 2 - 1 Aberdeen

Callum McGregor's bizarre winner earned Celtic victory over Aberdeen and made sure they remain four points behind Rangers.

Jota's finish broke the deadlock on 20 minutes, but Liel Abada's trip on David Bates allowed Lewis Ferguson to equalise from the penalty spot.

Celtic stepped up the intensity in the second period and scored a lucky winner, with a clearance rebounding off McGregor into the net.

Aberdeen boss Stephen Glass will be annoyed at losing in such circumstances after his team put in a brave defensive display. The reality is the defeat extends their losing streak to three games. They are also ten points off the top four. This is what he said to Aberdeen's social media channels. 

As for Celtic, it is a vital win  as they put Thursday's Europa League defeat behind them to ensure they did not fall further behind Rangers, who defeated Livingston 3-1 earlier on Sunday. One Celtic fan told us: "It was a decent performance after the effort put in by the team on Thursday.

"All things considering, we're in a decent position." The video below contains more reaction from Celtic fans.

Livingston 1 - 3 Rangers

Rangers held off a spirited Livingston fightback to maintain their Scottish Premiership lead on Giovanni van Bronckhorst's first league match in charge.

Scott Arfield and Joe Aribo scored lovely goals in the first 16 minutes to put Rangers firmly in command.

Bruce Anderson scored for Livingston before the break but Fashion Sakala killed off their bright challenge.

Rangers remain four points clear of Celtic and maintain their momentum despite the exit of Steven Gerrard.
