The Northern Ireland skipper sparked the game into life on just 10 minutes with his sublime finish to record his first goal in an Old Firm encounter since March 2011.

“It sat up nicely, I had a go, got a good connection and I wasn’t sure if I was offside at the time, but luckily it was an important goal for us.”
