Rangers and Celtic strikers had very different days.
Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos had a day to forget as he was sent off against Celtic.
Morelos’ first half red card came after he threw an elbow at Scott Brown.
Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard was more successful. He scored his club’s opener in the 2-1 victory.
It was the second season in succession in which Edouard has scored against Rangers.
Morelos on the other hand, has never netted versus Celtic.
Celtic’s official twitter account was keen to emphasise Edouard’s knack for big game goals.
Was this a dig at Rangers star Morelos?
BBC Sport interpreted it that way, reporting: “Rangers counterpart Alfredo Morelos has scored 10 more goals – having played an extra game – but has never found the net in an Old Firm game, as Celtic cheekily alluded to post-match.”
Edouard’s goals have played an important role in the title race.
His late winners against Dundee and Hibernian helped open up Celtic’s advantage at the top.
He has proven to be reliable. Unlike Morelos.
