19. BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY
THE RANGERS 2 – 3 CELTIC
SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP, 11 MARCH 2018
The first BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY. A Boyata error in the first few minutes gave them the lead and they thought that their title challenge was on. Tom Rogic though had other ideas as he curled in a lovely equaliser but Rangers were soon ahead again and Ibrox was bouncing. Half time approached and Scott Brown was fouled as he cleared up the park – the Ibrox stands loved that but had failed to notice that the ball had found Moussa Dembele. The Rangers TV commentator was screaming ‘Wits the goalie Daein’ Tom?” as the French striker calming lobbed Foderingham to level the scores.
In a tense second half it seemed that the advantage was swinging to the home side when Jozo Simunovic was red carded by Willie Collum for the use of an elbow. But Brendan Rodgers reacted brilliantly by introducing a second striker in Odsonne Edouard and going two up top. And how it worked! Dembele found French Eddie and he curled. magnificent effort into the far corner to give the man Celtic a remarkable 3-2 win. This was the day that the stuffing was knocked out of them, this was Beautiful Sunday.
