SCOTT BROWN reflected on another Beautiful Sunday when he spoke to the new edition of The Celtic View, that has got the Rangers fans hot under the sashes – see HERE.

Watching the game back on Sky later on Sunday evening, I was amused to see Broony singing along to Beautiful Sunday as the Celtic fans belted it out for the fourth time in 2018.

It’s a lovely song to hear the Celtic fans sing and the stadium DJ play because it means that Celtic have beaten city rivals Rangers once again.

Broony got booked for nothing early in the game – well Lafferty dived/ cheated and Willie Callum obliged. It happened right in front of the fourth official and Steven Gerrard so surely the Liverpool legend must have heard him shout ‘DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!’ into his wee mic?

Not that Broony was too bothered about all of that after another tremendous victory over the latest Ibrox club, what’s that 12 games Brendan’s managed Celtic against them and he’s had 10 wins (including scoring 5 goals three times), 2 draws (how they celebrated) and 0 defeats.

You wonder how many defeats to Celtic they will give Gerrard before the unrest starts. He has already suggested that he could lose all 4 and still win the league, but as his side is currently sitting in 7th place, there will only be 3 league games unless his results pick up.

“For us, the experience level is key and the gaffer put faith in the players who had done it before,” Broony said.

“So the team that won 5-0 at the end of last season, was the same one that won 1-0 on Sunday, and we probably played as well in that game as we have done against Rangers recently.

“It was good for us in terms of experience, and we did really well from back to front.

On the booking, the Celtic skipper described what happened from his point of view, perhaps a little too diplomatically omitting the spectacular dive.

“I thought I was going in to get the ball but then realised I was getting nowhere near it, so I pulled out, but I got myself booked early on.

“Maybe about 10 years ago, I might have ended up getting sent off for other challenges, so it’s maturity more than anything, understanding the game-plan and ensuring that we keep 11 men on the park.

“We just had to make sure we turned up and gave 100 per cent because we believe that we’re better than everyone on our day.

“We turned up and controlled the game pretty much from start to finish.

“Football is about possession and about how to keep it and create chances, and we showed that throughout the whole game.”

The Celtic skipper travelled all the way to the Phillipines this week to visit a local charity, the Tuloy Foundation but he’ll be back in plenty of time to take part in this Saturday’s Match for Cancer game. It doesn’t sound like he’s taking things easy during the International break but the former Scotland skipper – he hung up his Scotland boots last season – reckons he is doing just that.

“For me it’s about chilling out and relaxing and making sure my legs are okay for next Friday against St Mirren.

“It’s a hard season because it’s getting longer and longer so, for me, the international breaks will help me prolong my career for another few years hopefully.

“The charity game will be good, although I’m disappointed I’m missing the dinner on Friday night! It’ll be good to see some of the guys I played with, like Paddy McCourt, who’s coming over for the game.

“It’s what Celtic is all about – to give back, and for Stan (Petrov) and James Milner to come up is exceptional, and whatever is made on the day will be put to good use, so that’s great.”
