Matt O'Riley's impact shows the difference between Celtic and Rangers in microcosm after a decisive Old Firm contest.
Long before he put Celtic ahead with a clinical finish, Matt O’Riley had served notice of his intent to help win the title for Celtic.
Bought for small money at a young age in the days of Ange Postecoglou, he’s one of the poster boys, a gem they found in the rough in English League One. The fact that O’Riley has scored four times in his last six league games shows his worth, which is considerable. Lundstram, who had one of his worst days in a Rangers jersey with an unfortunate own goal and a lamentable decision that earned him a red card, is more defensively minded.Dujon Sterling? A terrific prospect, but he has one goal in 34. Fabio Silva, five in 22. Not great numbers for a player with his kind of reputation, which has taken a monumental buffeting since moving to Scotland.In the painful absence of Abdallah Sima , Rabbi Matondo and Danilo , Clement turned to his bench.
His penalty miss was one of his few black marks. Jack Butland saved his team, but the lack of a character to capitalise on it at the other end meant it was to no avail.
