'Great goal' from Celtic fan against Rangers hailed - and the hope of budget boost for proud manager as Queen of the South don't falter
Celtic fan Lee Connelly’s fine goal at Ibrox in the 3-1 defeat to Rangers was ultimately little more than a statistical footnote but the game in front of just over 30,000 fans at Ibrox will enhance the hand of Willie Gibson, the Queen of the South manager.
Connelly showed a moment of composure when he capitalised on Fashion Sakala’s slack ball towards Allan McGregor as he steadied himself before, briefly, taking the League One side onto a level footing.
"It was a great goal from Lee,” said Gibson. “He does it every day in training. We ask him to be more consistent in games because we know he has got. It is a special moment for him in front of a big crowd and he is a Celtic fan! Ultimately to come away with nothing is disappointing but the boys can be proud of their performance.
