Celtic beat their Old Firm rivals Rangers on Sunday at Ibrox.
Chris Sutton has claimed on Twitter that Ryan Jack should have been sent off for Rangers for his challenge on Boli Bolingoli during Celtic’s 2-0 win against their Old Firm rivals on Sunday.
Odsonne Eduoard put Neil Lennon’s side ahead with a cool finish after 32 minutes, and not long after, Jack went in for a challenge with Bolingoli just before the break, with the Celtic man being injured for a brief period.
Then with Rangers chasing the game late on, substitute Jonny Hayes made sure the points were heading back to Parkhead as he netted in stoppage-time.
It was a lacklustre first-half performance from Steven Gerrard’s men, as there were a number of crunching tackles from both teams throughout the match.
Gerrard tried to change things up in the second half when Alfredo Morelos came onto the pitch, but he wasn’t able to make the impact he would have liked.
During the game, Sutton made it clear that Jack should have seen red, with referee Bobby Maden opting not to punish the midfielder.
Both teams went into the game with a 100% record in the Scottish Premiership, but that was, of course, going to come to an end, as the Bhoys now top the Premiership table going into the international break.
It could be argued that this was perhaps Celtic’s best performance since Lennon replaced Brendan Rodgers at the club in February.
From defence to midfield and to attack, the manner in which Celtic played with and without the ball was exceptional and worthy of all three points.
