The intensity of the football rivalry in Glasgow was evident on Sunday night as Celtic turned the tables on Rangers<\/a> to win the Tennent\u2019s Sixes. Celtic beat their rivals 5-4 in the final at Braehead Arena after being on the end of a 7-1 defeat by Rangers in the group stage on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The tournament was for retired players from all 12 Premiership teams as the SPFL revived a tournament that took place between first teams from 1984 to 1993. But the reactions were similar to any major trophy final.<\/p>\n

Celtic\u2019s Charlie Mulgrew admitted he got carried away in his celebrations after he ignored handshake attempts from the Rangers captain, Andy Halliday, in order to salute the crowd, and exchanged words with the Rangers manager, Barry Ferguson.<\/p>\n

There was a heated post-match analysis in the Rangers dressing room. In a video leaked on social media, Kirk Broadfoot appears to be heavily criticising the goalkeeper Lee Robinson.<\/p>\n

Mulgrew had calmed only slightly when he spoke to Premier Sports. \u201cA lot of adrenaline was flowing, a few nasty tackles,\u201d the 40-year-old said. \u201cI mean, I know it was the Tennent\u2019s Sixes, but you get caught up in the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t like to get beat from Rangers, our closest rivals, 7-1, so that hurt. We had a few beers, a wee chat, a wee night out, so we managed to turn it around. We got a few things ironed out, although I was a wee bit rough in the morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like I\u2019ve won an actual, real cup. It\u2019s mental. I got a bit carried away at the end there but it builds up. There was a lot of emotion in that. Sometimes that\u2019s what happens, it spills over.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball\u2019s like that. I got nutmegged a couple of times by [Martyn] Waghorn, and exchanged words with him, then that was me. I was just fired up and fired into a few tackles. In the end, because we had that spirit, we won.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celtic\u2019s manager, Tom Boyd, said he was \u201cpretty angry\u201d with his players on Saturday night and that it \u201cfeels like winning the league\u201d.<\/p>\n

His assistant, Simon Donnelly, admitted they were all \u201cembarrassed\u201d by Saturday\u2019s heavy defeat and told Celtic Player after the final: \u201cIt\u2019s against Rangers, so it\u2019s as if it\u2019s a Scottish Cup final there. That\u2019s the feeling. You could play Rangers at tiddlywinks and you\u2019d still want to win.\u201d Press Association<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The intensity of the football rivalry in Glasgow was evident on Sunday night as Celtic turned the tables…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-917401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
