Scott Brown shares what was so hard to take as Rangers dominate Celtic yet again
Derek McInnes made it two Old Firms wins in a week, leaving Parkhead with a 1-0 victory and three points in the Scottish Premiership.
Ryan Naderi was the hero this time, days after the Bears smashed their rivals 3-0 at Ibrox in the Premier Sports Cup.
Like that one, there were no away fans in attendance.
Scott Brown clearly couldn't believe how much Celtic were dominated again, especially with that balance in the crowds.
Martin O'Neill crumbled under the pressure with his squad, not that McInnes will care after a huge week in his short tenure.
Rangers make Parkhead their own
The silence of Celtic Park when Naderi scored, mixed with the loud jeers throughout, was sensational.
Speaking on BBC Sportscene after the highlights, you could instantly see that Brown was far from happy.
"Now, there's added pressure because Rangers are within two points now and the momentum is now with them," he said.
"That's a hard thing to take, especially at home in front of your own fans with no away fans."
All the talk was around Celtic possibly going eight points ahead before the international break, but now it's only two.
Given Rangers only picked up one point from their first two, that's brilliant going for those at Ibrox.
Derek McInnes finally strikes gold at Ibrox
Rangers fans had start to wonder whether they'd be looking at a new manager completely only a matter of weeks ago.
Somehow, they'd just crashed out of Europe completely, and were already five points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
Fast forward a couple of weeks, they're only two points behind after winning six in a row, with five clean sheets.
That includes dumping their rivals out of the first domestic cup and becoming favourites to lift that first piece of silverware.
Whether it seemed unlikely, missing out on Europe means that Rangers simply need to win at least two competitions.
Even the Scottish Premiership title would be enough, but adding another cup would make it huge for McInnes.
And with this team and tactics he has settled on, everything is looking possible now, with Celtic simply tired.
