Alfredo Morelos was his usual self throughout today’s Glasgow Derby.

Snarling at almost everything, arriving late into most challenges and leaving the boot in whenever he could.

Willie Collum let the Colombian away with in until he found his yellow card in the 61st minute for a foul on Scott Brown.

Out of range for the match officials and Sky Sports cameras there was one especially nasty challenge on Stephen Welsh, whether it was leaving one on his opponent or delivering a low one it escaped any punishment.

There were no major flare-ups between the players to deal with but Collum was at the centre of one big call in the 27th minute.

With Celtic leading 1-0 the ball fell to Odsonne Edouard about eight yards from goal. The Celtic striker moved to take a touch when Borna Barasic made a lunge in the direction of the striker.

When a player has to take evasive action to avoid a dangerous challenge from an opponent it is a foul, a rule that applies regardless of where on the pitch contact is made. The Lanarkshire based official decided to book Edouard.
