Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers sold Josh Windass last summer, while Dedryck Boyata is expected to leave Celtic soon.

Josh Windass of Rangers has a shot on goal during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers FC and Celtic FC at Ibrox Stadium on April 29, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Former Glasgow Rangers forward Josh Windass has jokingly swatted aside suggestions that it was him who forced Dedryck Boyata to leave Celtic.

Boyata is set to leave Celtic to join Hertha Berlin, and some Rangers fans were keen to remember a time when Windass had some success against the Belgian international.

But even Windass couldn’t let the joke slide, when it was suggested that his displays for Rangers were the main reason why Boyata was leaving Celtic.

During Windass’s time at Rangers the Ibrox side had a very poor record against Celtic.

Rangers have found it very difficult to beat Celtic until Steven Gerrard took over this season.

Windass left Rangers for Wigan Athletic at the start of the season, meaning he has missed out on the improvement at Ibrox since Gerrard arrived.

Boyata’s departure from Celtic is a blow to the Bhoys, as he has played a key role over the past few years at Parkhead.
