Rangers star helped his side to Old Firm win at Ibrox.
Andy Halliday has told Rangers TV that beating Celtic was the ‘best day of his life’.
Halliday started Rangers’ win over Celtic on Saturday, a 1-0 victory at Ibrox.
The victory was Rangers’ first Old Firm win since winning promotion in 2016.
Halliday started at left-back, filling in for injured defender Borna Barisic, and he did not put a foot wrong.
The Glasgow born star has bounced back after humiliation in the Scottish League Cup semi-final earlier this year, where he was substituted before half-time.
He had the indignity of hearing Celtic fans sing his name. ]This time Rangers fans sung his game with joy as they closed in on a win.
Halliday spoke emotionally after the game.
He said: “It’s probably the best day of my life, if I’m honest.
“It’s been difficult over the last couple of years, as a team and as an individual of course personally I’ve been questioned quite a bit and I think I’ve stood up to that challenge and showed why I belong here.”
Commenting on Rangers fans, he added: “The way they were signing my name for the last 10 minutes of the game, I’ll take that to my grave.”
