Daizen Maeda scored one of the great Old Firm goals as Celtic came from behind to beat Rangers 3-1 at Celtic Park and move to within a point of Hearts at the top of the Premiership.
Celtic knew a win would close the gap on Derek McInnes's side after the leaders' draw with Motherwell on Saturday evening, but they did not get off to the start they wanted as Mikey Moore put the visitors ahead within the opening 10 minutes.
