It didn’t take Dujon Sterling long to pick up on the special privilidges that comes with wearing a blue jersey in the Glasgow Derby.
Early in the second half his arm swung out to leave Matt O’Riley’s nose bleeding and requiring lengthy treatment, a spell on the touchline and a change of short before he could continue. Soon afterwards the former Stoke City utility man was booked for a foul on Paulo Bernardo.
Not long afterwards he was taking the legs away from David Turnbull but it was towards the end of the match that he came closest to inflicting real damage.
Sterling could easily had a straight red as well for this tackle on Taylor.

In a 50-50 contest with Callum McGregor, Dujon knocked the ball too far in front which allowed Greg Taylor to step in.
While the Celtic defender concentrated on the ball Sterling’s right foot snapped down onto Taylor’s left ankle with Walsh giving a free kick to Celtic. Having had no option but to send off Leon Balogun earlier in the match the Bearsden based PE teacher wasn’t going to return to work next week with two red cards to explain in the staff room.
John Beaton will referee Kilmarnock’s visit to Ibrox on Tuesday, with the run of SPFL matches without a penalty being awarded against the 2012 Tribute Act expected to reach 75 with the second anniversary just over two weeks away.

Walsh waves advantage.Sterling was the one that broke O’Riley’s nose and the one where Clement was pleading that he used his shoulder in another incident.

The squirrels re being set free to deflect away from the result,,, how they wer cheeted out the game,, the lackeys have been working o/t over nite, as all the headlines they had wer fucked,,they moan enough to the delude fks they’ll justify we don’t need new players to catch us,,as for this pen claim I wish it was a gen pen,,, then they would know how the rest of teams in this feel week in week out against these bstds,,,
This is a deliberately loaded strategy to pressure officials for future Glasgow Derby’s and all the other teams as well in their matches v Sevco…
They have loaded ‘their’ smoking gun once again and are well ahead of the gamesmanship game –
Where was our justified complaint about The Turnbull Penalty…
Of course silence – Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
We have a Taylor at Parkhead…
Please Greg – Any chance you can produce a rack of yellow suits for our yellow suits !
Guys…we have to remember…We live in a bigoted wee country which , in many cases, is run by Masonic and Orange influence…So all we can do , as Celtic people, is continue to hope and pray that we skkelp them at every given opportunity…and keep them in their place….Which is second best…Oh…and HAPPY NEW YEAR …’MON THE HOOPS.
