Eyeballs are always drawn to Scotland when Celtic V Rangers is on. In recent seasons, it's the men in green and white that have dominated the Scottish Premier League as they aim to win their 4th successive title this season.
The rivalry between the two teams is fierce and you have to go all the way back to the 1984/85 season to come across a team outside the pair to have won the SPL.
The domination of the league is clear to be seen for everyone and it doesn't make the clash between the pair anymore less important every time they meet.
And Sunday's lunchtime kick-off was no different. The seasons first meeting between the pair was crucial in determining the early season standings ahead of the first International break.
Celtic's domination of the league is showing no sign of slowing down as they took an early lead in the 17th minute following a goal from Japanese Internation Daizen Maeda.
That was followed up by another Derby day goal for fellow Japansese striker Kyogo Furuhashi to double the Celts lead with half-time approaching.

Total Capitulation from Rangers
Presenter Eilidh Barbour commented on the importance of Rangers half-time team talk but former Scottish International Boyd had fears heading into the second half:
Let's be realistic, it's men against boys at this moment in time. You've got to fear the worst ahead of the second 45 minutes. The gulf is huge at this moment in time
