John Hartson delivers verdict on Celtic vs Rangers draw as he issues rallying cry

JOHN HARTSON reckons Celtic could've and should've beaten Rangers - but also could've lost in a frantic derby clash.

Ange Postecoglou's men retained their six point lead at the top of the table with the score draw keeping them well in control of the Scottish Premiership.

But Hartson admitted the match could've gone either way as he offered his verdict to followers on Twitter.'

Celtic had surged into a first-half lead through Jota before Fashion Sakala restored parity in the second 45.

And Rangers grew in confidence in a strong closing period leading to Hartson's "could have lost" admission.

But, for Hartson, the most important goal was achieved by Celtic; do not lose.

The former Celtic striker explained: "Could have won , should have won.. could have lost .. really important we didn’t lose today..let’s make it officially 10 titles in the last 11 years next week or even in the next 2/3 weeks.

"It’s done".
