Rangers fans are celebrating all over the country after the Ibrox side dumped Celtic in latest instalment of the Old Firm derby.
Hamza Igamane might’ve been criticised by Barry Ferguson at full-time but the Moroccan hero is the toast of Glasgow after scoring a late winner at Parkhead.
It’s Rangers’ first Old Firm victory on enemy soil since 2020 and Celtic legend Neil Lennon branded the Gers ‘outstanding’ for a monumental first-half performance.
James Tavernier was forced to apologise for some exuberant Rangers celebrations and one of the Ibrox skipper’s former teammates has now been clipped joining in.
Calvin Bassey celebrates Rangers win over Celtic
There are few players who come through the doors at Rangers and don’t wind up being bitten by the Ibrox bug.
Calvin Bassey is a cult figure amongst the Rangers support for his combative and quality performances en route to Seville and the Europa League Final of 2022.
Bassey banked the Gers £19.6m when he moved to Ajax the following the summer and now find himself turning out for Premier League outfit Fulham.
Whilst Rangers were playing Celtic at Parkhead, the Nigerian international defender was playing in a derby clash of his own as Fulham took on Tottenham.
Bassey played the entire match as Fulham ran out 2-0 winners in London and there was extra cause for celebration come full-time.
Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge was clipped with the 25-year-old outside Craven Cottage with Bassey reacting to the Gers result by raising his fist and saying ‘come on boys’.
Rangers team do what Calvin Bassey never could at Celtic Park
Whilst Calvin Bassey celebrates Rangers’ victory over Celtic, the former Leicester City centre-back never managed to play in a win at Parkhead.
Bassey never got off the bench the last time Rangers won at Celtic Park, the defender cheering on from the sidelines as Connor Goldson nodded home a double in October 2020.
The defender did play in a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park back in 2022 with Bassey’s only other game at the stadium a 3-0 defeat in February the same year.
In total, Bassey played in four Old Firm matches, winning only one.
The defender was part of the team that dumped Celtic in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final back in 2022.
