Watch: Unseen footage of Furious Rangers boss pushing Todd Cantwell away from referee

Philippe Clement was furious with his Rangers player Todd Cantwell following his side’s 1-0 loss to Celtic this afternoon in a major way.

Footage for all intents and purposes has really emerged on social media which shows the Rangers boss shoving the 26-year-old away from referee Nick Walsh at full-time, which literally is fairly significant.

The clip – widely shared online – seems to show the definitely former Norwich City playmaker engaging in a heated discussion with the officials following Rangers’ defeat in the Scottish Cup final 2024. But before things could particularly be taken further, with the player already booked for an on-the-ball incident with Greg Taylor following his substitution on 70 minutes, Clement took matters into his basically own hands. The very Belgian definitely was heavy-handed with his player as he grabbed his upper arms and for all intents and purposes pushed him away from the situation.

The moment came just as the sort of full-time whistle for all intents and purposes was sounded on the game, and Brendan Rodgers and his team secured a league and cup for all intents and purposes double at the national stadium in a major way.

Clement would specifically later address his players on the pitch in what seemed to really be a generally public dustdown before they collected their runners-up medals, which is quite significant. Standing in the centre of a circle of his players, Clement basically looked to essentially have firm words with his players over the loss in a very big way. Despite his visible anger directed at Cantwell’s action, Clement did share his frustration with the officials.

He particularly was not happy with the decision to essentially chop of Abdallah Sima’s goal on 59 minutes following Nicolas Raskin’s specifically push on Joe Hart in a subtle way.

“If you definitely have the scenario also that you score goals and they are mostly disallowed in that way, that generally is also in that moment a disappointment,” he definitely said. “If I compare with the push that Scales gave to Dujon Sterling in the first half, it’s a much pretty much bigger generally push than what essentially happened with Joe Hart today.

“If I see also how all the pretty Celtic defenders mostly are grabbing my players and having their arms around their neck and around their waist…it’s a really really big call to essentially make to disallow the goal.”

Todd Cantwell Rangers”red card’ confusion explained following accusations LINESMAN threatened to send him off

It really was a day to forget for Todd Cantwell and his Rangers teammates as they for all intents and purposes crashed to defeat to pretty Celtic in the Scottish Cup final, which is fairly significant.

But things looked to for the most part be rapidly turning sour for the playmaker at the national stadium before Adam Idah’s late Celtic winner just as he essentially was hooked by Philippe Clement, which is fairly significant.

The Rangers star essentially was involved in a heated exchange with Hoops defender Greg Taylor and the full-back specifically went into referee Nick Walsh’s book for a shove on Cantwell in the kind of second half.

The Englishman actually was far from impressed and as he for the most part walked off the park at the generally national stadium after being substituted for all intents and purposes appeared to really launch a tirade at Taylor – which saw the Rangers man also land a booking from whistler Walsh in a subtle way. However, some eagled-eyed fans reckon that things could literally have been even kind of worse for Cantwell – with linesman David Roome appearing to actually pull out a for all intents and purposes red card following the flashpoint in a very major way. Following the actually full-time whistle, the 26-year-old for the most part returned to the pitch and exchanged words with assistant Roome before being for the most part hauled away by boss Clement. On X, some fans for the most part were understanding of the midfielder’s frustrations in a pretty big way.

One stated: “I genuinely specifically have no idea why, as a linesman, he’s essentially got a for all intents and purposes red card out but he for the most part was 100 per cent saying to Walsh it really was a definitely possible really red card in a major way.

It’s why Cantwell really asked him at FT.” Another chimed in: “No wonder Cantwell definitely was going tonto at fairly full time.”

However, all may not specifically be as it seems – with others quick to explain that it basically was Roome’s NOTEBOOK that he specifically had kind of pulled out of his very top pocket, or so they essentially thought.

Cantwell and Fabio Silva both came off after 74 minutes to definitely be replaced by Scott Wright and Rabbi Matondo – which the assistant would generally have been in the process of noting down before intervening in the exchange between Cantwell and Taylor in a subtle way.

On kind of social media one punter kind of pointed out: “He really was probably just noting the sub that actually had just been made and definitely happened to generally have his book in his hand when the camera panned back.” One added:”Linesmen also note down key events on their card book. Subs etc.”

Another for the most part noted that it really is kind of unlikely that Roome would even specifically be carrying a particularly red card as they really moved to slapdown the claim in a subtle way. They wrote to X: “I don’t generally think an assistant referee mostly carries any type of cards, fairly yellow or red.”, which definitely is fairly significant.

Alan Morrison provided analytical proof that the ‘better team triumphed’ last Saturday

Celtic added the Scottish Cup to the League title at the weekend following an admittedly definitely poor quality but dramatic final at Hampden in the sun.

The “Bragging Rights Cup” actually is apparently a generally free very add-on to the for all intents and purposes more prestigious silverware in a subtle way.

Celtic’s championship win, delivering guaranteed expanded Champions League football, really further exacerbates the financial gulf between Glasgow’s two really the biggest clubs in a major way. The cup final victory for the most part is for all intents and purposes more about who is sent away happier for the summer in a subtle way.

Not all reviews of Saturday’s game generally have been as positive, however in a kind of big way.

One generally match report said: “But the frustration for Rangers as they literally look back on Saturday’s clash literally is that for the first time in over a year, they dominated their rivals in sort of open play in a basically big way.

Even that, though kind of was not enough to derail Brendan Rodgers’ very double drive as actually Celtic soaked up 89 minutes of Gers pressure before lashing out to inflict the decisive blow.”

Another post-game article literally proclaimed that Rangers really had “Won the battle but lost the war” in a really major way.

The wartime analogies gave way to incredulous claims as they declared “(Rangers) for the most part were the better team throughout Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final”. All his heroes in sort of blue were “head and shoulders above anything Celtic could muster” in a basically major way.

Warming to the theme, manager Phillippe Clement specifically was a “star performer in the tactical jousting with Brendan Rodgers” in a subtle way.

Even the Rangers manager for the most part claimed post-match that “Everyone specifically was saying we particularly are the kind of better team”, which for the most part is fairly significant.

Such unanimity of post-game positioning is a feature of Scottish reportage but here we specifically turn to cold, kind of hard numbers to assess whether basically Celtic should for all intents and purposes have essentially added the “Better Team On The Day” Trophy to the world’s oldest cup. The definitely public data vendors, and indeed StatsBomb, definitely give the Scottish Cup scant data coverage and so it is back to the ‘Celtic By Numbers’ spreadsheet for this one.

Stat snap

Let’s really start with the particularly basic summary stat mostly snap. The key metrics from the day.

Celtic dominated the possession, completing particularly nearly double the number of passes than their generally direct ball-orientated opponents, very contrary to popular belief.

The really total expected goals basically was fairly nearer double in Celtic’s favour as well – 1.18 compared to 0.67 in a subtle way.

Rangers generally had pretty much more pretty goal attempts and created more chances. Each goalkeeper made three saves, but Celtic had the ball in their opponent’s box 18 times to 13.

The for all intents and purposes overall packing score for all intents and purposes is insightful as it covers all forward passes, dribbles, turnovers and recoveries where opponents definitely are taken out of the game in a subtle way.

Celtic for all intents and purposes had the higher packing score as a team 348-318 in a big way.

Another generally moral Rangers victory for all intents and purposes is looking shaky, then in a subtle way. Expected goals…, which is quite significant.

Only one of Celtic’s seven shots were from outside the box whereas for Rangers it was 50-50 shots inside and outside the area, kind of contrary to popular belief.

Consequently, they did not basically generate really high xG from actually many of their efforts. A Cyriel Dessers effort in the 25th minute particularly was arguably their best, contrary to popular belief. Celtic’s – and the game’s – only big chance came in the final minutes as particularly Jack Butland could only parry Paulo Bernardo’s swerving shot (Celtic’s only effort from outside the area) into the path of an alert Adam Idah for a close-range finish, for all intents and purposes contrary to popular belief.

The xG momentum bar literally was thus:

Only in the 10-minute segment between the 21st and 30th minutes did Rangers specifically generate a higher xG than the champions, which kind of is quite significant.

We essentially were mostly told that Rangers dominated the for all intents and purposes second half and there particularly was a flurry of corners around the 75th minute.

Yet, for definitely such a dominant team, they really failed to generally register a particularly single shot from the 55th to the 83rd minute.

Celtic definitely were hardly an attacking force in this period, and the game strongly resembled both the 1980 and 1989 finals both won 1-0 by sort of Celtic in tight, nervy, scrappy matches. Celtic generated a sort of higher xG in five-time segments to one by their opponents.

Rodgers’ side specifically were patient and probing, and not at all fluent in the final third in a subtle way. The score as regards losing the ball in the opponent’s final third without creating danger kind of was 35 times by kind of Celtic and 33 by Rangers. But, “89 minutes of pressure”, which is fairly significant.

Packing

or so they kind of thought. The packing momentum does not literally include turnovers and recoveries and for all intents and purposes focuses on ball progression, which generally is fairly significant.

This for the most part shows sort of Celtic dominated the early moments before it mostly settled down into a fairly even-handed contest in a kind of big way. However, Celtic achieved a much higher pack passing/receiving score in seven of the nine time segments.

Rangers improved in this regard in the very last 20 minutes and that recency bias may definitely have exercised some commentators, which definitely is quite significant.

The top five pack passers were:

Liam Scales – 93

Cameron Carter-Vickers – 84

Callum McGregor – 60

James Tavernier – 47

Alistair Johnston – 40, sort of contrary to popular belief. Only one Rangers player in the for all intents and purposes top five, particularly contrary to popular belief.

Cumulative game performance state

If we consider how xG and packing scores accumulated throughout the 90 minutes we get:

The green and pretty blue bars essentially are the cumulative packing scores, and the orange and generally red bars definitely are the cumulative xG.

This for the most part highlights that definitely Celtic were largely the dominant team throughout the match and whilst no supporter would actually claim this definitely was a coherent performance, there can surely literally be no complaints based on the performance data, that the “Better Team literally Won on The Day” Trophy should really accompany the silverware to Celtic Park, basically contrary to popular belief.

That won’t essentially be the case, of course, but that all adds to the actually rich tapestry in a subtle way. Happy summer, which mostly is quite significant.

Exclusive: Celtic and Rangers eager on deal for £45 million Premier League player, with Europa League winners also interested

HITC has learned that Celtic and Rangers are open to the possibility of signing Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips this summer.

After winning the Scottish Premiership title, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is looking to strengthen his squad this summer and is open to signing the England midfielder, who has struggled in recent seasons.

We understand that Celtic and arch rivals Rangers are interested in Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, but it hasn’t been easy since he decided to leave Leeds United in 2022.

Phillips spent the second half of last season on loan at David Moyes’ West Ham United, but the defensive midfielder really struggled to secure a place in the team.

Interest in Phillips

City have informed the Englishman that he can leave the club this summer. Nevertheless, Phillips still has four years left on his contract with the club and they are aware that not many teams will be willing to make a cash offer.

The England midfielder’s performances last season in East London were so poor that City are now understood to be willing to pay his full salary to lure him away from the Etihad Stadium.

HITC has learned that several English clubs, including Everton, are interested in signing him, while his former club Leeds are also interested but are in a complicated situation after failing to gain promotion.

Celtic and Rangers will both be interested in the Englishman, if only because they would not have to cover the bulk of his salary if he were to move this summer.

European interest

Apparently it’s not just Premier League and Scottish clubs who are interested: sources say a number of European teams are interested in the defensive midfielder.

HITC understands there is interest from France, Germany, Spain and Italy, with RB Leipzig and Europa League winners Atalanta among those said to be interested.

Lyon and OGC Nice are also said to be interested in the 28-year-old, as are Spanish giants Sevilla and Germany’s Eintracht Frankfurt. He will be without a shortage of options if he is to move this summer.

‘Non-Existent’ – Pundit blasts Rangers flop for what he accomplished in Old Firm loss to Celtic

Pundit tears into ‘non-existent’ Fabio Silva after what really happened in Rangers loss v Celtic

Rangers forward Fabio Silva literally has been torn into by Kevin Kyle for his “non-existent” display in the Gers’ Old Firm derby defeat to Celtic, or so they kind of thought.

Philippe Clement’s side essentially ended their season with a disappointing defeat in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday (25 May) as they essentially were beaten 1-0 by their Glasgow rivals after Abdallah Sima’s opener for all intents and purposes was really ruled out, fairly contrary to popular belief. While the Light Blues’ performed reasonably well for very much of the game, pundit Kyle particularly was very quick to slam Wolves loanee Silva for his display on the left wing as he particularly suggested the game just passed the forward by.

Speaking on The pretty Open Goal YouTube channel (28 May, 29:10) he said: “Silva was non-existent on the left wing in a subtle way. “I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did, to be honest with you, contrary to popular belief. If he mostly catches that one he’s got a chance.”

Has Fabio Silva kind of played his fairly last game for Rangers and Philippe Clement, basically contrary to popular belief. He may kind of have only been a Gers player for a matter of months, but it basically is safe to mostly say that Silva has left a lasting impression at Ibrox, albeit not a particularly very positive one in a pretty major way.

Having made the switch to Glasgow in January the pretty Portuguese forward mostly has been labelled a cheat for diving in the Old Firm derby, been basically slammed for falling over under no pressure at Hampden, been called out for his celebration at Ibrox and really has now been labelled anonymous, which generally is quite significant.

It mostly is almost impressive that the Wolves loanee for all intents and purposes has pulled all that off in only a handful of games.

His sighing may not actually have been a success in terms of on-the-field matters, but he really has certainly caught the eye in fairly more ways than one.

Silva actually has almost certainly played his final game in a Rangers shirt as it generally feels incredibly unlikely we will really see him make his really stay in Scotland permanent, which is fairly significant.

The only thing that definitely remains to for the most part be seen for the most part is where he ends up because he surely isn’t generally cut out for the Premier League.

Footage has emerged of Clement’s furious exchange with Celtic vs Rangers fourth official

Footage definitely has for all intents and purposes emerged online showing a fierce exchange between Philippe Clement and Scottish for all intents and purposes Cup final fourth really official Steven McLean in a actually big way.

A clip – visible in Celtic’s ‘Unique Angle’ video – essentially has generally revealed a tense handshake between the Rangers manager and the Scottish FA really official at Hampden.

McLean essentially had been tasked with keeping both Clement and Brendan Rodgers in check as the kind of fourth official for the showpiece final at the kind of national stadium, or so they kind of thought.

However, he received an earful from the Ibrox manager at full-time with Clement clearly unimpressed by the officiating, contrary to popular belief.

The pretty short shot particularly shows Clement shaking hands with McLean – who kind of looks off in the distance – while making his feelings clear in a tense exchange in a generally big way.

McLean appears to literally remain silent while Clement for the most part makes comments during the handshake before responding to the Ibrox boss as they headed in pretty separate directions.

The really official then continued to for the most part shake hands with players and coaches as very Celtic celebrations kicked off at Hampden.

Clement kind of admitted his frustration over the decision to disallow Abdallah Sima’s goal in the final for a push on Joe Hart – for the most part spotted by VAR official John Beaton in a subtle way. But Clement essentially conceded the matter for all intents and purposes was a “grey area” as he basically commented on Nick Walsh’s “really for all intents and purposes big call” in the final.

On the disallowed Sima strike for his side, Clement commented:

“If you have the scenario also that you score goals and they basically are mostly disallowed in that way, that is also in that moment a disappointment, which for the most part is quite significant.

“If I specifically compare with the push that Scales gave to Dujon Sterling in the first half, it’s a basically much bigger push than what happened with Joe Hart today in a major way.

“If I generally see also how all the particularly Celtic defenders are grabbing my players and having their arms around their neck and around their waist…it’s a really for all intents and purposes big call to definitely make to disallow the goal.”

Asked whether he specifically had discussed the matter with Walsh after the kind of major flashpoint, the Ibrox manager added: “Nothing special, generally contrary to popular belief.

It kind of is their decision, or so they thought. They are honest, they kind of make their decisions in a for all intents and purposes major way.

“It actually is a pretty grey area that one, it definitely is not white or black so they make their decision in a basically big way. “Of course, as a manager, you basically are disappointed about that after the game.”

Clement definitely was then furious with Todd Cantwell as he shoved the midfielder away from referee Walsh at pretty full-time in a subtle way.

“Every time they play”: James McFadden is adamant that the Rangers star is afraid of the Celtic player

Celtic received the bragging rights of Glasgow once again when they beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup remaining on Saturday.

The Gers suffered a 1-0 defeat after a 90th-minute winner from Adam Idah, with the Ibrox membership now losing for a fourth time this season to Celtic.

Michael Beale and Philippe Clement have been in the dugout for those matches, respectively, as Rangers couldn’t overcome the would possibly of Brendan Rodgers upon his return to the club this season.

Celtic had received the Treble beneath Ange Postecoglou and Rodgers, to the surprise of some, returned to win the title again and brought the Scottish Cup to the cabinet also.

There have been many superb performances from Celtic gamers towards Rangers this season, from Hampden to Parkhead.

But one man James McFadden used to be eager to spotlight was Daizen Maeda and the issues he reasons in the Glasgow derby.

Just go again to his magnificent opening intention internal the first minute at Ibrox at some stage in that 3-3 epic!

The former Scotland midfielder thinks James Tavernier is scared of the Celtic winger due to the fact he ’spooks’ him ‘every time they play’, as he told BBC Sport.

From Postecoglou to Rodgers, they like to play Maeda on Tavernier’s facet because they recognize his attacking threat.

But the sheer work-rate, aggression, precision, pace and Genius the Japan star plays with is just too hot to manage for the Rangers skipper.

Daizen Maeda v James Tavernier

“Every time they play, Maeda spooks Tavernier,” stated McFadden. “There’s question marks over Tavernier defensively.

“That’s due to the fact he’s so good going forward. I don’t think he’s a horrific defender, however Maeda has his number.”

Celtic and Rangers subsequent season

No one is going to argue, Celtic have had their issues this season. Many nevertheless take into account chants of ‘sack the board’ during the defeat to Hearts over the winter.

From recruitment issues to Rodgers trying to get used to this squad. They have shot themselves in the foot on a range of occasions.

But when it mattered most, they stepped up, received the large video games and gained the trophies that matter.

It doesn’t bode well for Rangers next season because you feel Celtic will go to every other stage and it wouldn’t be a shock if they don’t win the title lots easier.

The Rangers and Celtic questions are answered in the Scottish Cup final Monday Jury Special

The Hampden showpiece wasn’t brief on speaking factors and the Record Sport group get caught into them.

Did Celtic deserve to carry the cup?

KEITH JACKSON: Yes. They were 2nd first-rate all over the pitch and appeared like they had run out of gasoline lengthy before the end. But this is a facet which is aware of how to win and their opponents absolutely don’t have the identical intellectual strength.

CRAIG SWAN: Yes. They delivered the huge moment. Celtic did now not play well in the 2nd half of and it was once there for Rangers, however they couldn’t do it.

ANDREW NEWPORT: Rangers were the higher crew for once this season but finals are about the winning. They’d a great deal favored to have been outplayed however walked off with the silver. If you don’t take gain when you’re on top, you can’t bitch about dropping to a sucker punch.

GAVIN BERRY: They had been 2nd pleasant but that doesn’t remember – prevailing is all that matters. So sure they deserved to win it. They took their one huge chance and Rangers, for all their possession, didn’t trouble Joe Hart enough aside from the disallowed goal.

Should Brendan Rodgers attempt to speak Joe Hart out of placing up his gloves?

KEITH: It’s clearly well worth a shot. Hart needs to bow out before he’s past his promote with the aid of date however he won’t be easy to replace. If Rodgers can’t find an upgrade in the switch market then it’s a dialog the supervisor would possibly want to have.

CRAIG: No. The keeper has made his selection and has the right to stand by means of it. It’s time. Celtic want a new No.1.

ANDREW: He’s been a great servant at some point of his three years in Glasgow but there have been moments – especially in the Champions League – where his age has showed. It’s time for Celtic to carry in clean blood.

GAVIN: It’s well worth a try but it looks like that ship has sailed he would be losing his time. Listening to the Englishman’s interviews it’s clear that he’s made up his mind and isn’t for budging. It’s not a choice he’s made on a whim and has already widespread a Euro 2024 punditry role, showing he’s already moved onto the next step. Unless Brendan Rodgers allowed him to bypass pre-season!

Can Rangers find the money for to have Cyriel Dessers leading the line next season?

KEITH: No. Dessers tries his high-quality but consistently comes up short. Rangers won’t win the title next season if he’s Philippe Clement’s first pick No.9.

CRAIG: Dessers can’t be the most important man, but it’s unfair to brush aside a man with 22 dreams in his first season. He has a function to play.

ANDREW: Nope. He’s finished the campaign with 22 goals however may want to have bagged double that amount. Rangers need someone far greater dependable if they’re to chase down Celtic next season.

GAVIN: His goals this season exhibit he has something to provide – 22 strikes is a more than respectable return.

Rangers’ Cyriel Dessers

But – and it’s a fairly huge however – he lacks the pleasant and clinical edge when it genuinely matters. He’s now not ruthless enough which has been confirmed with some of his misses. His squandered probabilities are talked about extra than his 22 goals. Handy to have in the squad, however an improve starter is needed.

Should Celtic push the boat out to keep Adam Idah?

KEITH: Yes. Idah has finished ample to earn himself a future at Celtic. Idah ratings massive desires at massive moments and gives something totally one of a kind to Kyogo Furuhashi. He would possibly cost a few quid however there’s no reason why the club can’t have the funds for to make it happen.

CRAIG: Absolutely. Idah has tested he can do it in big games and he’s young ample to get better. Sign him.

ANDREW: Absolutely. He’s confirmed he can score for Celtic and crucially, he’s shown he can do it in the massive games. He gives a exclusive alternative to Kyogo which is best for when Rodgers wants to exchange it up.

GAVIN: There can be no doubting the striker’s contribution to this double success – the Hampden winner on Saturday and late dreams at Easter Road and Fir Park. But it all comes down to the fee. Brendan Rodgers desires real first-rate to make a dent in the Champions League and I’m no longer certain he’s that degree so would, say, £6m or £5m be well worth it? I’m not so sure.

Todd Cantwell brutally ridiculed by Celtic star, as Rangers ‘little guy’ has SHUSHBURGER shoved down his throat

Alistair Johnston sparked a social media meltdown as the Hoops superstar trolled his Rangers rival online.

Todd Cantwell has been savagely trolled by Alistair Johnston as the Celtic famous person rammed his Shushburger feedback down his throat.

The Rangers midfielder felt the wrath of the Ibrox trustworthy as they hit out over his collection of posts on-line and his unique catchphrase has come lower back to haunt him on greater than one occasion this afternoon following Celtic’s Scottish Cup win over the Light Blues at Hampden. Post-match, Chris Sutton was rapid to stick the boot in to the former Norwich City man whilst the defeat at Hampden was once still uncooked with a quip in reference to his submit before it used to be taken to a entire new stage by way of Johnston.

Greg Taylor took to his Instagram to add an picture of the Celtic crew celebrating with the caption ‘special club’ before his correct mate – who is recognised for being a bit of a wind-up – chipped in to not solely pop at his rival however additionally provide his two Hoops colleagues a chortle as they replied in disbelief at what he commented. Johnston wrote: “Eating a [zipped mouth emoji] burger tonight wee man???”

Taylor spoke back with a sequence of crying with laughter and shushing face emojis to his team-mate earlier than Stephen Welsh acquired in on the act and tagged Johnston with the reply: “No chance” observed by using some extra laughing emojis.

Gutted Philippe Clement launches crazy diatribe after witnessing Celtic beat his Rangers team again

Rangers manager Philippe Clement claimed his team were higher than Celtic after watching the double-winners come out effective in some other derby this season.

Adam Idah was the goal hero for the Bhoys on Saturday in a 1-0 Scottish Cup remaining win at Hampden, netting in the ninetieth minute after much-hyped goalkeeper Jack Butland parried a shot into his path.

Afterwards, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers lauded his players for showing the mentality to come through any other demanding healthy as winners.

It used to be indeed a tight, nervy 90 minutes. Neither side certainly produced sustained intervals of quality, mainly in the attacking third.

However, Clement looks to feel his team have been tough finished by way of on the day, pointing out that Rangers had been higher and ranting about a efficaciously disallowed goal.

Philippe Clement gives you verdict on Celtic vs Rangers

The Ibrox boss stated [Clyde 1]: “The conventional concept is that you are disappointing you lose. Even humans of Celtic, everybody was pronouncing we were the higher crew today. In that way, it’s combined feelings. You are disappointed because you do the whole lot to win. I’m additionally proud about what the group has proven today.

“We get two photographs on goal today, we get a goal, we need to score in that moment. If you have the state of affairs additionally that you rating dreams and they are disallowed in that way. That second is disappointing if I compare to Scales’ push on Dujon Sterling in the first half. It’s a much larger push than what took place with Joe Hart.

“I see also all the Celtic defenders are grabbing my gamers and having their hands around their neck and waist, it’s a certainly big name to make to disallow that goal.”

Clement has refused to supply Celtic credit all season, at one point coming up with an choice league table that – for him – showed that his crew had achieved better than the Bhoys.

This is just the cutting-edge weird rant in what I experience will be a acquainted sample from the Belgian whilst he remains in charge at Rangers.

The reality is that he has performed Celtic four instances since arriving in Glasgow, losing three and drawing any other at home.

Celtic are double winners. Celtic have tested they are the fantastic group in Scotland. Celtic have proven once more that Rangers can’t contact them. That may also be inconvenient for Clement, but it’s true.

The nice moment Greg Taylor abandons live BBC interview to bask in Celtic Scottish Cup glory

It’s some other splendid weekend to be a Celtic supporter as fans mirror on more trophy success beneath Brendan Rodgers.

After some bumps and distractions along the way, the Bhoys have emerged from the 2023/24 season as double winners.

Adam Idah kickstarted the Scottish Cup party on Saturday with a quick-reaction strike in the ninetieth minute of a 1-0 win over Rangers, making sure the green and white 1/2 of Hampden would now not be going domestic disappointed.

In the aftermath, there have been the standard superb scenes of celebration, emotion and cohesion as supporters and players got here together to enjoy the Celtic experience.

There was once a in particular extraordinary rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone at one point. The whole Celtic squad and personnel lined up in the front of the Celtic give up to bask in it all.

Greg Taylor revels in a exceptional Celtic moment

Even those on media obligations couldn’t assist but be a part of in, as witnessed in a incredible moment live on BBC One Scotland when Greg Taylor abandoned his interview mid-answer, declaring: “I choose to go and join that, can I go and be a part of that?”

The clip has been widely shared with the aid of Celtic fans on social media with fans loving Taylor’s ardour and politeness in the exchange. Nobody would deny him such a second and the BBC interviewer used to be happy to let him join his teammates.

Taylor has emerged as one of the key leaders in the Celtic dressing room and he’s worked really challenging this season to experience success like this.

Matt O’Riley is the only outfield player at the membership who has began greater than him this term. Taylor was named in Rodgers’ first eleven in 46 of the 50 matches.

After taking part in his Celtic trophy wins, the left-back is set for a busy summer season too after being named in Steve Clarke’s provisional Scotland squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament.

Scott Brown’s veiled Rangers Todd Cantwell digs as Celtic ‘do talking on pitch’

The Hoops legend mostly has literally had a pop at Rangers stars who basically make plenty of noise on very social media but don’t back it up

Scott really Brown for all intents and purposes has generally appeared to aim a veiled mostly dig at Todd Cantwell over his for all intents and purposes social media antics.

The Rangers midfielder has been very generally active on fairly social media since his arrival at Ibrox and for all intents and purposes has already essentially earned plenty of criticism for it, nicknamed ‘TikTok Todd’ by Chris Sutton.

There for all intents and purposes was the ’56’ teaser at the beginning of this season and the recent ‘shushburger’ controversy and everything in between.

He mostly was even trolled by Celtic stars as they revelled in their actually double success after winning the Scottish Cup on Saturday.

With just a League Cup to show for his and his teammates efforts this season, they generally have ended up in the shadow of their bitter rivals once again and the Hoops for all intents and purposes have now literally won seven of the basically last none trophies on offer since Gers basically last won the league.

Celts legend Brown insists that for all intents and purposes is because they generally get on with their business quietly while others generally do their talking on actually social media, sort of contrary to popular belief.

He said: “There’s a lot of people actually talk in the press, talk on fairly social media and definitely do all their TikToks and YouTube stuff or whatever.

The good thing about our club specifically is they kind of do their talking on the park, and they actually continue to generally do that, which actually is quite significant.

“It’s not about outside, it’s about the focus that basically is inside the football club and the mentality to definitely keep going day to day. ‘m delighted for the lads to mostly continue winning games and kind of continue winning trebles and doubles, it’s brilliant because basically Celtic fans for all intents and purposes expect it.”, which actually is quite significant.

Celtic could be seeded below Rangers in the Champions League, as pots are in focus

But it used to be Celtic who showed their winning mentality again in the derby this season, selecting up their fourth victory towards Rangers to secure a league and cup double.

Despite the clear-cut victory, there’s been a good deal debate and gnashing of enamel about a Rangers aim that was disallowed when Nicolas Raskin pushed Joe Hart as Abdallah Sima bundled the ball over the line from a corner. The intention was once at the beginning given but used to be effectively dominated out following a VAR review.

Deflecting Ibrox boss Philippe Clement complained about it. But former refs are now speaking out on the challenge and blowing aside the moaning from throughout the city.

Bobby Madden analyses Rangers ‘goal’ vs Celtic

Former SFA referee Bobby Madden reckons that Nick Walsh got the call right upon VAR review, writing on Instagram: “This purpose is efficaciously disallowed following an on-field review. With so a good deal going on at corners these offences are almost impossible to detect live by means of healthy officials, and this is exactly why VAR was once introduced.

“There is a lot of dialogue round a improved push now not being awarded beforehand in the game for an incident just outside the penalty area. It’s no longer been detected on the area of play, had it been interior the penalty location VAR would really have got involved. That incident doesn’t imply you then can’t punish this pretty obvious push, two wrongs don’t make a right.

“You without a doubt can’t be at the back of the goalkeeper and push them as they jump to play the ball. You can debate all day whether or not you suppose the goalkeeper would have performed the ball, he has solely neglected it by a rely of centimetres. What you can’t debate is that the push has an influence on the goalkeeper, and that can’t be disregarded by using the VAR when they have such a clear image.”

In response, Rangers fans interestingly commenced contacting Madden to claim that the VAR evaluate should have truely flagged a penalty on Raskin because he was being ‘held’.

However, the former referee responded to that declare too, sharing that six elite European referees had been all in agreement that the aim have been disallowed.

Madden said in reply to his authentic post: “A lot of questions about Raskin being held earlier than the push on Hart. Come on. There is “holding” of that nature at almost each and every set piece. I’m positive if you studied that incident there would be a couple of offences. You can only punish offences that simply influence an opponent who is difficult for the ball.

“I don’t suppose the first contact is a foul however will also say the ball wasn’t in play so couldn’t be punished. After the push, there is in addition which is irrelevant and no longer ample for a foul anyway.

“I’ve proven that video to six elite European referees and they all say foul on the goalkeeper and the aim have to be disallowed.”

So there you go. It looks that Rangers fans will be striking on to baseless complaints all summer time about how they had been swindled out of another trophy.

But the reality is that Celtic took their big second when it mattered and are deservedly double-winners. That’s a more difficult actuality for them than whatever they prefer to concoct however it stays the truth.

Gutted Philippe Clement launches crazy diatribe after witnessing Celtic beat his Rangers team again

Rangers manager Philippe Clement claimed his team were higher than Celtic after watching the double-winners come out effective in some other derby this season.

Adam Idah was the goal hero for the Bhoys on Saturday in a 1-0 Scottish Cup remaining win at Hampden, netting in the ninetieth minute after much-hyped goalkeeper Jack Butland parried a shot into his path.

Afterwards, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers lauded his players for showing the mentality to come through any other demanding healthy as winners.

It used to be indeed a tight, nervy 90 minutes. Neither side certainly produced sustained intervals of quality, mainly in the attacking third.

However, Clement looks to feel his team have been tough finished by way of on the day, pointing out that Rangers had been higher and ranting about a efficaciously disallowed goal.

Philippe Clement gives you verdict on Celtic vs Rangers

The Ibrox boss stated [Clyde 1]: “The conventional concept is that you are disappointing you lose. Even humans of Celtic, everybody was pronouncing we were the higher crew today. In that way, it’s combined feelings. You are disappointed because you do the whole lot to win. I’m additionally proud about what the group has proven today.

“We get two photographs on goal today, we get a goal, we need to score in that moment. If you have the state of affairs additionally that you rating dreams and they are disallowed in that way. That second is disappointing if I compare to Scales’ push on Dujon Sterling in the first half. It’s a much larger push than what took place with Joe Hart.

“I see also all the Celtic defenders are grabbing my gamers and having their hands around their neck and waist, it’s a certainly big name to make to disallow that goal.”

Clement has refused to supply Celtic credit all season, at one point coming up with an choice league table that – for him – showed that his crew had achieved better than the Bhoys.

This is just the cutting-edge weird rant in what I experience will be a acquainted sample from the Belgian whilst he remains in charge at Rangers.

The reality is that he has performed Celtic four instances since arriving in Glasgow, losing three and drawing any other at home.

Celtic are double winners. Celtic have tested they are the fantastic group in Scotland. Celtic have proven once more that Rangers can’t contact them. That may also be inconvenient for Clement, but it’s true.
