Mikael Lustig did not play well for Celtic against Rangers at Ibrox.
Tony Watt has defended Mikael Lustig on Twitter when the Celtic defender was criticised by well-known pundit Tam McManus during the Old Firm derby against Rangers at Ibrox.
Lustig was in action for Celtic in their Scottish Premiership game against Rangers away from home at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.
The 32-year-old right-back did not have a good game and was substituted at the half-time interval due to injury.
The Sweden international defender was at fault for the opening goal for Rangers, and he looked slack in possession and did not appear very confident at the back.
Former Hibernian forward McManus criticised Lustig’s attitude during the Old Firm derby against Rangers, but St Johnstone forward Watt has strongly defended the Celtic defender on Twitter.
Watt was on the books of Celtic from 2011 until 2014 and is a former teammate of Lustig.
Rangers won the Old Firm derby against Celtic 2-0 and will be confident of closing the gap on the Hoops next season.
