I watched Rangers beat Celtic from best seat in the house and here's what Chris Sutton told me at full-time – Scott Arfield
I'm not sure who would have been more nervous on Sunday - Barry Ferguson making his Old Firm dugout debut or me performing my co-coms bow up in the Parkhead rafters.
It was some experience to have that incredible position perched high in the gantry to watch the game as I took up the Sky Sports mics for the first time.
Thankfully I was well looked after by Ian Crocker and my new Record Sport sidekick Chris Sutton as the derby thriller got underway.
Chris joked after the game that I wouldn’t be welcomed back and I suspect that’s not just because Rangers won.
He’s right to have his opinion on what happened after the game with the victors’ celebrations but I certainly have mine - and it won’t surprise you that I view it all a bit differently from the big fella.
He’s accused my old side of getting majorly carried away with their 3-2 derby triumph, calling the scenes at the end a “brass neck”.
Of course, no Rangers side should be pleased with a season that has them sitting 13 points behind their biggest rivals. That’s just not acceptable. But we have to remember what has been going on at the club recently and the situation that team is currently in working under a caretaker boss.
So of course Barry and his players had every right to drink in that moment - even if the odd drop of water was spilled in the process!
I played for a Rangers team that was tasked with turning around a one-sided rivalry but you saw during Steven Gerrard’s time, it’s not always a straight forward process.
When you do get results such as Sunday’s, you have to view them as a marker, a momentum shifter and hope that they ultimately prove to be the turning point that propels you onto better times.
So of course emotions would be high after a win like that.
