Barry Ferguson inspired Rangers to a resounding 5-1 victory against Celtic with a standout performance that included scoring the opening goal. Henrik Larsson equalised at the start of the second half but when Alan Thompson was sent off minutes after debutant Tore Andre Flo had put Rangers 2-1 ahead they were never in the game. Ronald de Boer and Lorenzo Amoruso both headed in from Jorg Albertz corners while Michael Mols completed the rout with a smart finish after a sweeping move.
