A disappointing week for the two Big Two of Glasgow was aggravated while the Rangers and the Celtic played a heavy print of the first old match of the new season in Ibrox.
After humiliating the outings of the Champions League in the middle of the week, neither of the two teams was able to respond, Russell Martin in search of his first championship victory as a chief coach of the Rangers and Brendan Rodgers now without victory in four consecutive derbies for Celtic.
Perhaps avoid defeat bought the Martin subfu for a little time, but his team has never watched a threat of goal during the day.
