Celtic duo revel in Rangers win as ace sends defiant message after hostile Ibrox experience

Lanarkshire duo Anthony Ralston and Stephen Welsh have been celebrating their Celtic side's huge Premiership victory over Rangers.

Aaron Ramsey had put the champions ahead but Hoops goals from Tom Rogic and Cameron Carter-Vickers ensured Celtic moved six points clear at the top.

It puts them in a commanding position with six games to go this season, as they hunt their 10th title in 11 years.

Proceedings in Govan were marred by off the pitch incidents. A member of Celtic's backroom staff needed stitches after being hit on the head by a glass bottle.

The start of the second half was also delayed as shards from a broken bottle in Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart's penalty box were removed.

But on the pitch, it was a massive day for those in green and white. Lanarkshire pair Ralston and David Turnbull came off the bench to help secure the win.

Ralston, who is from Bellshill and attended Airdrie's All Saints primary school - said: "Team! Massive win, enjoyed that one. Thanks for the support."

Coatbridge's Stephen Welsh wasn't involved after an injury on Scotland U21s duty, but he took to his story to share his delight, adding: "You love to see it."
