(Reuters) - Scottish champions Celtic stayed firmly on course to clinch a sixth successive league title and 48th overall after coming from behind to beat arch-rivals Rangers 2-1 in an entertaining Old Firm derby on Saturday.

Moussa Dembele cancelled out Kenny Miller's opener with his 19th goal of the season in all competitions before strike partner Scott Sinclair pounced in the second half to give Celtic victory on their first visit to Ibrox since March, 2012.
