Neil McCann has told BBC Sport that Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor was guilty of simulation twice in the Old Firm derby against Rangers at Ibrox this afternoon.

The former Rangers winger made the comments in the opening minutes of the second half when McGregor went down with Jon Flanagan close to him near the halfway line.

The referee did not book the 26-year-old Scotland international midfielder, as Celtic won the Scottish Premiership game against Rangers 2-0.

McCann told BBC Sport: “That was a bit of simulation from McGregor. But no yellow card. That’s two he has got away with.”

Big win for Celtic

As with every Old Firm derby games, there were controversial incidents and talking points, but at the end of the day, all that matters is the scoreline.

Rangers were very disappointing in the first half, and although Steven Gerrard’s side stepped up their game after the break, it was simply not enough.
