Celtic are revelling in their Old Firm win against Scottish Premiership neighbours and rivals Rangers, Brendan Rodgers putting Steven Gerrard in his place
Chris Sutton’s latest Team of the Week understandably has its fair share of Celtic players.
The Hoops put aside any talk of a crisis behind the scenes with a valuable and much-deserved 1-0 Old Firm win against Rangers on Sunday, ending Steven Gerrard’s unbeaten start to life in Scotland.
Olivier Ntcham was the match-winner, firing home the only goal of the game at the end of a pulsating counter-attack. So it is no surprise that the Frenchman, who pulled the strings in the centre of the park, is included by Sutton alongside his midfield partner Scott Brown.
James Forrest, whose pinpoint pass put the goal on a plate for Ntcham, was also given the nod on the right wing while Kieran Tierney was rewarded for his fine display on the opposite flank. Celtic’s number 63 gave Rangers skipper James Tavernier a torrid time with his reputation growing by the week.
Last but not least, Dedryck Boyata was selected by former Celtic striker Sutton. His performances since being denied a move away from Parkhead have been very impressive to say the least.
Sutton did make room for one Rangers player. Celtic could have won by a far bigger margin, after all, if it wasn’t for Allan McGregor between the sticks.
