Rangers fan savours incredible bookies win as mystic £5 bet delivers big style on prescient wager

Getting a 2-0 victory away to Celtic is generally enough of a reason for a Rangers fan to wildly celebrate.

But one Ibrox supporter had even more to be delighted about after his incredible bet placed ahead of the game came in.

Not many fans would have predicted Connor Goldson to get two goals given he'd only scored 10 goals in 119 appearances before Saturday's game.

One Rangers supporter did back the former Brighton centre back to ensure he'd always be loved by fans with a double.

And he'll be loved even more by this one fan who bet £5 on him to score twice in the match at Celtic Park.

At odds of 300/1, the bet earned the supporter an incredible £1505 back including his original stake.

He posted on Twitter: “Out to spend some of the winnings big Goldson won me yesterday. Yasss. What a result. What a day.”

Even manager Steven Gerrard was shocked by Goldson's goalscoring performance as he said: “We know we’ve got the quality and if we put the balls in the right areas then it’s about having that hunger and desire to go and be a winner.

“Connor Goldson has won his team three points today with two good finishes.

“I’m shocked and he’s shocked!

“But Katic got all the credit last year for a fantastic header and rightly so.

“Connor deserves that moment now.”
