Scott Brown celebrates Celtic victory as Parkhead hero issues Rangers gloat from his living room

A delighted Scott Brown raised a toast to Celtic after his former side's massive win over Rangers at Ibrox.

The Hoops triumphed at the home of their bitter rivals in the high noon showdown, with Tom Rogic and Cameron Cater-Vickers scoring the crucial goals in a 2-1 victory.

The last time Celtic won in Govan, Brown was leading the Parkhead club as captain in a fixture he always relished playing in.

After deciding to call it quits at Aberdeen to focus on his coaching career last month, Brown now enjoys a more relaxed atmosphere on Old Firm Sunday – but, as he shared with his Instagram followers, it seems he still gets plenty of satisfaction from seeing his old club come out on top.

Sharing a snap of the game on TV with his pint of lager on show, the former Parkhead skipper wrote: "Thanks lads, enjoyed that one I did."

Today's result means Ange Postecoglou's men go six points clear of Rangers at the top of the Premiership table, with just six matches remaining and the final clash between Glasgow's big two at Celtic Park.

They will also meet in the Scottish Cup semi-final later this month with Postecoglou's team hopeful of a domestic Treble.

The Parkhead boss said after the game: "It was massive. I'm just really proud of the players.

"It's a difficult place to come to and they got off to a great start and you know in those kind of conditions everything is in their favour, it's going to take a massive effort to turn it around.

"I thought the boys were brilliant.

"They've had character from day one, that's what I keep saying, it's maybe been the one thing people have maybe overlooked, there is a real steel to this team, a resilience.

"We had to be, we lost three games of the first six, we were still putting a team together and the league had already started, but no excuses.

"We wanted to keep pushing on, we had to show that today, Rangers were at it, they put us under pressure, the crowd were behind them, but super proud of our efforts."
