Former Rangers striker Gordon Dalziel has suggested to The Scottish Sun that Celtic midfielder Scott Brown did nothing wrong to celebrate in front of the Gers’ fans last weekend.

Celtic won 2-1 against Rangers at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership last weekend.

After the match, Celtic midfielder Brown celebrated in front of the Rangers, which did not please Andy Halliday, who was subsequently sent off his reaction.

Former Rangers striker Dalziel has suggested that the 33-year-old midfielder did not do anything wrong in his celebration.

Dalziel told The Scottish Sun: ”This happens is every game when guys score goals. They go and celebrate.

“In football, you normally take a bit of flak from the opposition and there is nothing better than putting the ball in the back of the net and winning.

“I’ve been there when I’ve scored in a big game and celebrated in front of the opposition.

“I’m not going to say that Scott Brown isn’t entitled to celebrate a terrific win for his side – that probably won the league.”

Title triumph

Celtic are now as many as 13 points clear of second-placed and Old Firm rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment.

Neil Lennon’s side are set to clinch the league title this season – their eighth in a row.

With the Hoops having already won the Scottish League Cup this season and having reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, the Glasgow giants are likely to won the domestic treble for the third season in a row.
