Hartson strike puts Celtic in control

Celtic 1 Rangers 0

John Hartson piled the pressure on Rangers manager Alex McLeish with his 12th-minute opener for Celtic in the Bank of Scotland Premier League.

The Wales striker connected with a Shaun Maloney cross to put the Hoops on course for a 15-point lead over their arch-rivals in the SPL table.

Hamed Namouchi and Dado Prso were both guilty of squandering excellent chances for the Light Blues.
