Celtic beat Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers in a frenetic Old Firm on Sunday.
Iaìn Ferguson has revealed to The Scottish Sun that Celtic fans are acknowledging Rangers’ performance in Sunday’s Old Firm at Parkhead.
James Forrest slotted home an 87th-minute winner as Celtic beat 10-man Rangers 2-1.
Steven Gerrard’s side had Alfredo Morelos sent off in the first half, after Odsonne Edouard had fired the Hoops ahead.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, the Gers equalised through Ryan Kent midway through the second half and continued to look the better side against the 11-man Hoops.
“I watched the game in my local pub which, amazingly, is half Rangers fans and half Celtic,” he told The Scottish Sun.
“Most of the guys are pretty sensible and at the end even the Celtic supporters I know agreed that Rangers had played well in the second half.”
Rangers did indeed play very well in the second half, but the nous and experience of Neil Lennon’s side shone through in the end.
Morelos, who elbowed Scott Brown in an off-the-ball incident, has since been slapped with a four-match ban for what was his fifth red card of the season, while Kent could be punished retrospectively after he too was involved in an altercation with the Celtic captain.
As a result of the win, Lennon’s side are 13 points clear of the Ibrox outfit and well on course for an eighth successive Premiership crown.
