With two of his team-mates cementing Alistair Johnston, Nico Raskin took the chance to impose himself on the Glasgow Derby.
Two months of delusions fed from inside Murray Park was all that he needed as he took on the prospect of confronting Callum McGregor.
After grabbing the ball Raskin raised his arm to fend off McGregor, when the Celtic striker tried again to get the ball it seems like the chunky Belgian midfielder motioned his head forward to McGregor who wasn’t putting up with that sort of action.
Kevin Clancy booked both players, on Sky Sports Ally McCoist seemed concerned about a possible red card.

Yup – you don’t often see Calmac get angry but Raskin leads with the head for sure…
