Celtic nailed over 8 Rangers sins as Neil McCann tells Hoops they were 'bullied' and Reo Hatate gets it tight

Celtic have been nailed over eight Ibrox sins as Philippe Clement FINALLY grabbed the Old Firm bragging rights.

The under pressure Belgian had failed to overcome Brendan Rodgers and the Hoops since his arrival in Glasgow with the Premier Sports Cup Final last month still raw in the mind after Ridvan Yilmaz was the penalty sinner at Hampden. However, he got that winning feeling over the Hoops at Ibrox to bring some late festive cheer and a big smile to the faces of the Light Blues faithful to kick off 2025 in style.

The points tally still stands at 11 points between the pair at the summit after goals from Ianis Hagi, Vaclav Cerny and sub Danilo but after stumbles against Motherwell and St Mirren - this was the type of performance and display both Clement and the Rangers faithful have been crying out for.

Neil McCann on commentary duty hammered Celtic for being 'bullied' in the New Year derby while he also criticised Reo Hatate in a 'never been so bad' observation. Not only that but he also told Rodgers that his troops were SPOOKED while Kris Boyd in the studio at half-time told the champions they 'stunk out the place'.

Record Sport's Chris Sutton didn't argue the case with the Celtic hero branding the performance a wake-up call to his old club and one that Rodgers would head back to Celtic Park and 'lick his wounds over' while he listed off the areas that Rangers trumped the Hoops in during the derby day showdown. Here are 8 quotes from the pundits during the 90 plus minutes of action.

"They are getting bullied by Rangers right now. I have never seen Reo Hatate’s distribution so bad. He's turned the ball over so many times to this Rangers side today, yes they are in good positions but it is so uncharacteristically bad
