Virgil van Dijk delights Celtic fans as eagle eyed punters spot throwback to viral Rangers moment

Eagled-eyed Celtic fans have spotted Virgil van Dijk replicating a moment from a Rangers derby clash during the Champions League win over the Scottish Premiership side.

The Battle of Britain showdown was decided by an inch-perfect Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick in the first half, before Leon King fouled Luis Diaz in the box and allowed Mo Salah to slot home the second. It could have been worse for Gio van Bronckhorst's men had it not been for Allan McGregor's impressive display, as he denied £90 million frontman Darwin Nunez on several occasions to keep the Group A clash at a respectable scoreline.

For Van Dijk, it was the first time he has faced off against Rangers since his days at Celtic Park, before he made the move to the English Premier League and Southampton to skyrocket his career. The move to Anfield followed along with a Champions League and Premier League winners medal, but some Parkhead fans were quick to point out a familiar clash that they believe was recreated on Merseyside on Tuesday.
