Marc Antoine Fortuné strikes to strengthen Neil Lennon’s case at Celtic

“This was a night of novel concepts as the unwritten rule of not publicly criticising the other half of the Old Firm was well and truly shot to pieces after Celtic claimed the season’s final derby. A deflected free-kick from Lee Naylor and a close-range effort from Marc-Antoine Fortuné secured victory for the Hoops. Kenny Miller had briefly restored parity, with Rangers feeling they were denied another chance to equalise late on, when Darren O’Dea appeared to handle in his own area.” (Guardian)

Celtic 2-1 Rangers: The Bhoys secure bragging rights but the title is still heading to Ibrox
“Neil Lennon gave his chances of landing the Celtic managers job another boost tonight as he led the Parkhead side to a 2-1 victory over city rivals and newly crowned SPL champions Rangers. Full back Lee Naylor opened the scoring for Celtic before Kenny Miller equalised for Rangers. And on the stroke of half time Marc Antoine Fortune restored Celtic’s lead, a goal which proved to be the winner as Lee McCulloch saw red in the final minute of the game after a lunge on Aiden McGeady.” (ScotZine)
