Celtic struggles with 3-0 loss to Rangers in League Cup at Ibrox
Summary

Celtic faced a disappointing exit from the Premier Sports Cup after losing 3-0 to Rangers at Ibrox on September 13, 2026. The team delivered a lackluster performance, with Colby Donovan being the only player to receive praise. Celtic's midfield was weak, leading to a failure to mount any serious challenge, as evidenced by just one shot on target throughout the match. The defeat comes amid controversy over the SPFL's decision to limit away fans, which some suggest gave the home side an unfair advantage. Celtic will need to refocus ahead of their next league match against Rangers this weekend.
