It was an afternoon to remember for Celtic fans far and wide as Brendan Rodgers' men overcame Rangers 2-1 in Glasgow's East End.

The win puts Celtic six points in front of their rivals at the top of the Scottish Premiership table with just two games of the 2023/24 campaign remaining.

A single point from Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Wednesday, or St Mirren at home next Saturday, will return the league championship to the Parkhead trophy room – a feat that would see the Hoops clinch their third success league title.

Celtic's own Player of the Year Matt O'Riley had a central role to play in proceedings, scoring his side's opening goal and then missing a penalty that would have put the match out of sight.

Still, the 23-year-old's performance over the course was commendable, with the young midfielder involved in the vast majority of Celtic's game plan in attack and defence.

This was reciprocated by the Paradise faithful from the stands – and now O'Riley has paid tribute to the vocal home support on Instagram.

"Thank you. Your support today was unbelievable," said the midfielder, followed by a four-leaf clover emoji.

Elsewhere on social media, Celtic forward Daizen Maeda made his followers smile by playing dumb about the antics that led him to be cautioned by referee Willie Collum.

When Rangers midfielder John Lundstram turned Celtic's second goal of the day into his own net – following a cut-back from Maeda – the Japanese forward jumped into the crowd to celebrate with the home support.

Upon returning to the pitch he was shown a yellow card, after which Maeda said on social media:

"I didn't know that if you go up to the fans you get a yellow card! Oh well!" said a tongue-in-cheek Maeda, followed by a peace sign emoji.

Celtic now travel to Kilmarnock this Wednesday, while Philippe Clement's Rangers host Dundee at Ibrox on Tuesday evening.
