The former Liverpool manager has won 10 and drawn two of his 12 Old Firm derbies since joining Celtic, but Rangers’ long wait for a victory came to an end with a deserved victory at Ibrox.
After 30 minutes of dominance and missed opportunities, Jack converted Ryan Kent’s low cross to give Steven Gerrard’s side a deserved lead.
Celtic, backed by just 700 travelling supporters, failed to seriously test Allan McGregor in the Rangers goal and struggled to contain the home side’s surging attacks. Re-live the action below:

It's a scrappy start at Ibrox with both sides looking to feel their way into the game. The atmosphere, meanwhile, is red hot!

Scott Brown goes up for a header and Alfredo Morelos takes the prime opportunity to tap his foot into his...erm...groin. Tasty start.
Celtic prowling
6 mins
James Forrest works his way to the edge of the area and unleashes the first shot of the match, but it's a tame effort at the goalkeeper.
Celtic recycle possession and work the ball to Ryan Christie just inside the box and he drags a shot wide.
Rangers corner
9 mins
Rangers work their way forward and win a corner that comes to nothing. Slightly better from the home side after a slow start.
Better from Rangers
11 mins
Andy Halliday takes over from corner taking duty and finds Joe Worrall at the back post, he heads it across goal but it comes to nothing.
Risky stuff at the back
12 mins
Dedryck Boyata, who has already misplaced a couple of passes at the back, almost plays in Daniel Candeias but for his captain's quick reaction to avert the danger. Rangers continue to pile on the pressure.
What a save!
16 mins
Daniel Candeias thinks he's opened the scoring but Craig Gordon pulls off a great save. A low cross from the right finds the winger in space and all he has to do is tap it in, he gets good contact on the ball and it takes a deflection en route to a certain goal, but Gordon pulls out a great save.
Another great save!
17 mins
This has been a great minute in the career of Craig Gordon. His next stunning stop is to deny Connor Goldson, who thinks he's scored with a header after a scramble in the area.
Off the bar!
18 mins
Another great corner from Andy Halliday and Scott Brown inadvertently heads the ball onto his own crossbar and Celtic clear.
