Celtic lost their first domestic match of the season at Ibrox. In a match full of incedent Rangers took advantage of defensive mistakes and bad goalkeeping from new Bhoy Douglas.

Rangers midfielder Barry Ferguson freely admits his sending-off in his side's 6-2 thrashing at Celtic earlier in the season was the lowest point of his career.

21/11/00	CELTIC TO SIGN ANOTHER SLOVAKIAN
Celtic will attempt to persuade Lubomir Moravcik to stay at Parkhead by signing fellow countryman Samuel Slovak.

Celtic gave luckless defender Alan Stubbs the good luck present he requested while sending out a chilling warning to their title rivals with a deadly display to sink the Edinburgh outfit.

Aston Villa boss John Gregory was at St Andrews on Saturday afternoon to see Birmingham take on Bolton - and reports this morning suggest that his target was Mark Burchill.
