Alan Power finally got a red for lunging at a Celtic player. The former Killie man has previous for going in recklessly on Celtic players and NOT being sent off was given his marching orders today for St Mirren at Celtic Park.
The home side were in ridiculously good form and the St Mirren side couldn’t get near Ange Postecoglou’s side. As Celtic turned the screw, David Turnbull found himself on the wing and taking the ball forward when he was flattered by Power.

It’s a shocker and a straight red — for once the referee got it spot on. There have been a few challenges already this season that have gone unpunished or not punished significantly — Power got what he deserved. To be honest, if Turnbull doesn’t move there, he’s in deep trouble of a bad break.
St Mirren players were raging at the decision — I can only suggest they look at this again.
