In the Scottish Premier League (SPL) Celtic's ninth league win in succession, earned as Joe Ledley powered home a header from Charlie Mulgrew's corner, means they will top the table going into 2012. For Neil Lennon this represents quite a turnaround from a position where people were questioning his position as the Celtic manager in the not so distant past. But this was a game of two headers.
If Celtic were worthy of their victory on account of their second-half display, Rangers had grievance to rub into the open wound of Old Firm defeat. The visitors believed they should have been sent ahead by a seventh-minute Lee Wallace header, which the match officials adjudged not to have crossed the line.
"I think it definitely crossed the line but sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't," said the Rangers manager, Ally McCoist.
"Lee, and I think it was Nikica Jelavic standing alongside him, were both fairly convinced it had crossed the line. But there is no point mumping and moaning about it. We never got it, so we have to move on."
McCoist's admirable stance aside, the manager will be aware his players failed to apply necessary amounts of pressure on the Celtic goal after Ledley's header. McCoist added that he knew nothing about a reported Queens Park Rangers bid for Jelavic. for detail the
