GLASGOW, Scotland — Celtic moved 13 points clear over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 2-1 victory over its Glasgow rival on Sunday. Players and other members of each bench were involved in a melee at full time on the field at Celtic Park, which led to Rangers defender Andy Halliday being shown a second yellow card. Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring in the 27th minute before Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was sent off for throwing an elbow at home captain Scott Brown. “I have gone above and beyond for Alfredo,” Rangers manager Steven Gerrard said. Celtic had used all three substitutes by the time defender Dedryck Boyata went off injured, leaving both sides with 10 men.
