Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers lost 3-2 to Celtic in a defining moment for the Scottish Premiership title race last season.
Some Celtic fans on Twitter are mocking former Rangers man Josh Windass over comments about one of last season’s Old Firm derbies.
Windass, who left Rangers during the summer, told Open Goal on YouTube that he felt that the Gers were going to win the Scottish Premiership title midway through a clash against Celtic in March.
It was 2-2 at Ibrox and the Hoops’ defender Jozo Simunovic had just received a red card shortly before the hour mark.
Victory for Blues – then under Graeme Murty – would have put them three points behind Brendan Rodgers’s side who, despite the numerical disadvantage, snatched a winner through Odsonne Edouard on 69 minutes.
Windass, who opened the scoring that day, said to Open Goal on YouTube: “Simunovic got sent off and I’m in the game thinking, ‘Oh my god, we’re going to win the league. I swear I was thinking that. I was thinking we were going to win 4-2, 5-2. But we mess up. Edouard goes in and bends one in the top corner.”
Celtic went on to win a seventh successive Premiership title, en route to a second consecutive domestic treble under Rodgers, and suffice to say that fans of the Parkhead club are trolling Windass over the comments.
Despite the mocking, Windass was justified in feeling optimistic.
As noted, Murty’s side would’ve moved three points behind the Bhoys by beating a team who had 10 men with half-an-hour to play, but Rodgers’s side, as they so often do, found a way and that was that as far as Rangers’ title hopes.
