Celtic secured a 2-1 win over Rangers this afternoon and Ibrox legend Ally McCoist was simply blown away by Bhoys playmaker Tom Rogic.
Rangers made an absolutely blistering start with Aaron Ramsey firing the hosts in front, but that’s as good as it got for the Gers.
Tom Rogic quickly bagged a leveller for Celtic before Cameron Carter-Vickers popped up with the winner.
Celtic are now 26 games unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership and move six points clear at the top, surely securing the league title.
It’s also two wins in a row for Celtic over Rangers, with Ange Postecoglou wrestling back control of Scottish football in his first season in charge.
Celtic fans love their Australian boss and they can also thank his compatriot Rogic for a huge part in today’s big win at Ibrox.
Rogic was outstanding in his time on the pitch, even if he only managed 62 minutes before being substitutes in favour of Matt O’Riley.
Rogic has been a nemesis for Rangers for many years now and added another goal to his collection with a fine first-half finish.
That’s now 11 goals in 17 games against Rangers for Rogic, who particularly seems to love a goal at Ibrox.
Celtic fans will understandably applaud for Rogic for his display and even Ally McCoist has joined in with praise of his own.
Rangers legend McCoist will be gutted with the result and won’t exactly love praising a Celtic player, but he was blown away by Rogic.
Speaking to Sky Sports (03/04, 1:58pm), McCoist indicated that the big difference between the two sides was Rogic.
Hailing him as ‘different class’, McCoist heaped praise on Rogic for his ability to find space and cause Rangers problems in a superb performance.
“The one player that really made the difference was Tom Rogic, particularly in the first 45 minutes,” said McCoist. “He was playing in pockets in front of the Rangers back four, he was picking the ball up, I thought he was different class,’ he added.
