Stephen McManus responds to Rangers red card madness as he applauds Celtic B stars for 'keeping their discipline'

Celtic B boss Stephen McManus applauded his players for refusing to get involved in the madness against Rangers after their opponents finished the Lowland League derby with eight men on the pitch.

Celtic came from behind to win the final B-team derby of the season but it descended into madness at Ibrox. The hosts led 1-0 before shotstopper Lewis Budinauckas saw red for handling the ball outside his box, and after the Hoops took a 3-1 lead, Bailey Rice and Adam Devine - both of whom have minutes for Michael Beale's first team under their belt - walked for second bookings.

The win keeps Celtic in touch with fifth-tier leaders Spartans and McManus was delighted his team swerved the chaos and picked up a professional 3-1 win. He told Celtic TV: "We were professional. We didn't want to get caught up in anything that was going to happen, whether it was silly bookings or for us to get one of our boys sent off.
