If they want to play the victim card, thats up to them.Celtic are entitled to celebrate – the supporters, the club and the individual players. Thats fine. We havent got a problem with that at all. Were on the end of it this time.Theres one more Old Firm left were looking forward to and we need to make sure the result is different to the one weve just been involved in.Ive got no problem with Celtic celebrating. How will the players react? I know what Id do. We cant really control whats going on with other peoples reactions on social media and how they celebrate.All we can do is soak it up, accept it and move on to the next challenge but remember it.Rangers hopes of winning the Scottish Premiership are all but over following Sundays loss, with Celtic 13 points clear and on course to claim an eighth consecutive top-flight title.
