Wrexham man and former Republic of Ireland cult hero James McClean has responded to Sunday’s Glasgow derby drama.
The Hoops travelled to the home of their fiercest rivals and picked up what could turn out to be a vital point in the title race.
Although they may have been disappointed not to have taken all three points, the Celts’ destiny is still within their own hands going into the final six league games of the campaign.
To yesterday’s 3-3 stalemate, McClean reacted on Instagram, making a few humorous quips on his story. He initially got a dig in at the traditional ‘Penalty to Rangers’ mantra, writing “Penalty to Ra… Celtic”.
From 12 yards, Matt O’Riley remained cool as ice. It was his first goal against Rangers, and he bagged it in some style.
Minutes later, McClean posted again, criticising Fabio Silva for his antics that wouldn’t be out of place at an Olympic swimming pool. He simply stated “State of that.”
He then went on to praise Adam Idah for his late goal, hailing him as “big” and “beautiful” with a censored word or two thrown in.
McClean played with the imposing striker for Ireland and will be proud of his success in Glasgow so far. It is a shame Idah’s strike yesterday didn’t win it for the Hoops, but the players will take the point with a view to getting Rangers at Parkhead after the split.
