Celtic won 2-1 against Glasgow Rangers at Ibrox in their most recent match.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has told the Glasgow Evening Times that his only disappointment from the Old-Firm derby was that he couldn’t celebrate his side’s victory at the end of the match.
Celtic held some celebrations in front of their own fans, after picking up a 2-1 win at Ibrox.
Rodgers, though, didn’t feel as though he lapped up the adulation as much as he would have liked.
“My only disappointment was that I couldn’t celebrate [at the end],” the Celtic boss said. “It took me 43 years to get here. I wanted to come here as a player but I couldn’t. I tried to run to celebrate the second goal but I slipped and couldn’t. A few tablets in there and I’ll be fine.
“It was brilliant. I thought the game was a real good advert for the Scottish game particularly in conditions that were pretty awful. It gives us great hope going into 2017. I wanted to re-connect with the supporters so that they feel proud of their team and hopefully they are feeling that.”
Celtic actually went behind against Rangers, when Kenny Miller opened the scoring.
At that point it looked as if the Bhoys’ unbeaten domestic record was in danger, but Rodgers’ men fought back.
Moussa Dembele first netted a belter, before Scott Sinclair totally turned the game around.
Celtic have now won all three Old-Firm derbies to have taken place so far this season.
The Bhoys have also built up a 19 point lead over their Glasgow rivals in the Scottish Premiership table, meaning that they look certain to be lifting the title once again in May.
