Video- watch van Bronckhorst’s anger at Ryan Kent

Giovanni van Bronckhorst couldn’t hide his anger as Ryan Kent refused to follow instructions in the 31^st minute of Saturday’s Glasgow derby.

Seconds later his side were paying the full price as Jota dinked Celtic into a 2-0 lead.

For over a year it has been noted how quickly Celtic get the ball back into play. At free-kicks and throw-ins there is barely time to pause before play is resumed. Similarly, almost as soon as the ball goes past the post Joe Hart’s is taking a goal-kick to get his side moving forward again.

Ally McCoist and Andy Walker seemed surprised at this feature- Kent and a few others were taken completely by surprise despite the obvious warnings of their manager.

From an offside call Callum McGregor quickly takes the free kick and instantly takes three opponents out of play. Matt O’Riley and Jota are anticipating the next move, seconds later the ball is in the net. 2-0 Celtic.

Van Bronckhorst has already lost the plot with Alfredo Morelos. His anger at Kent is obvious but with less than a year left on the contract of a £7m signing the manager has to be very diplomatic in how he treats the only flair player at the club.
