Chris Sutton enjoyed Celtic victory in the Glasgow Derby from a distance as Ally McCoist shared co-commentry duties with Ian Crocker and Andy Walker from Celtic Park.
Despite being well short of their best a 3-2 win for the hoops puts then 12 points ahead in the SPFL Premiership with just seven matches left to play.
A double from Kyogo Furuhashi and a precise finish from Jota put Celtic 3-1 up but there was a nervy last 15 minutes after James Tavernier scored his second goal of the day.
Terrific Glasgow Derby. Lucky Ange coming up trumps once again. Ally McCoist in tears over the Morelos ruled out goal and said to me yesterday Rangers had closed the gap…?????

Alfredo Morelos did have the ball in the net midway through the first half but after wrestling and pushing Alastair Johnston to the deck the goal was disallowed by referee Kevin Clancy.
McCoist and Andy Walker were outraged in the Sky Sports studio, it seems that Sutton had a different take on the incident.
