Celtic extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership after smashing Motherwell 4-0 and Rangers lost at St Mirren on Boxing Day.
With one more fixture to play before Celtic face Rangers at Ibrox in the New Year Glasgow Derby, all the pressure is now on Philippe Clement.
With a 12-point gap opened up at the top of the Scottish Premiership, the Ibrox boss cannot lose any more ground on Celtic as he heads to Motherwell on Sunday.
And he knows it, judging by his reaction to St Mirren’s winner in Paisley.

With a few minutes to go in Paisley, Rangers thought they were at least escaping with a point after struggling for much of the match against Stephen Robinson’s team.

But that isn’t even the best bit. The best part was Clement realising that he and his Rangers team surrendered and had just gone 12 points behind Celtic before the big game at Ibrox.

This was a superb moment in the season and one that made sure the Rangers fans’ meltdown from losing to Celtic in the League Cup final extends at least into the New Year.
With more games coming up tomorrow afternoon, the potential for more Ibrox anger awaits the Celtic fans as they continue to laugh at the team that used to be one of their great rivals.
