Rangers and Celtic fans had a reason to watch England last night.

The Three Lions thrashed Czech Republic 5-0 at Wembley in Euro 2020 qualifying, and a reported Celtic and Rangers target was on the opposition side.

According to The Scottish Sun, the Hoops and Steven Gerrard’s side are interested in signing the £5 million centre-back this summer.

But he was the victim of a ‘farcical’ mistake against the Three Lions.

Gareth Southgate’s side looked on course for a 4-0 win, before the Old Firm target, who belongs to Chelsea, scored an own goal late on after good work from Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

Obviously scoring an own goal doesn’t mean that Kalas – on loan at Bristol City – is a bad defender, but that error, coupled with the result, doesn’t reflect brilliantly on him.

Celtic and Rangers both definitely need a new central defensive option this summer.

The Bhoys look set to be losing Dedryck Boyata and Filip Benkovic, while the Ibrox outfit lack an outstanding option in this position.
