When the right back finally had enough, he scooped up a few missiles and gave them to referee Willie Collum.
We have witnessed such obscene events during Glasgow’s derby match before.
With the score tied 2-1 in favor of the hosts, Philippe Clement’s team was trying to put pressure on their bitter rivals, Glasgow, when the event occurred, about ten minutes into normal time.
Collum dumped the objects off the side of the field at the Celtic byline after giving them a brief examination.
With the win, Celtic appear to have made significant progress toward capturing a third straight Premiership crown.
With two games left, Brendan Rodgers’ team leads Rangers by six points at the top of the table. They also claim a superior six-goal differential.
In the first half, Matt O’Riley opened the scoring with a fantastic effort that went low past Jack Butland from the edge of the box.
John Lundstram’s own goal moments later left Rangers with an uphill battle.
But moments later, a clever header from close range by Cyriel Dessers gave Philippe Clement’s team an unlikely lifeline.
However, just before the break, Lundstram—who had a horrible first half—was substituted out.
He collided with Alistair Johnston quickly, striking the Canadian just above the ankle.
After examining video from the pitchside screen, Willie Collum upgraded the midfielder’s initial booking to a red card.
