What a tackle. Absolute scenes if we had scored on the break away there ?

Was Simunovic's tackle the best you've seen from a Celtic player?
Absolutely!
I've seen better!
I wish that was a goal so bad

The game in question was played at Ibrox back in April 2017. As per BBC Sport, the 5-1 victory was Celtic’s biggest ever win over the Gers away from home.
The game saw Scott Sinclair and Leigh Griffiths score in the first half, while Callum McGregor, Mikael Lustig and Dedryck Boyata finished off the rout in the second half.
What do we think?
Considering the margin of the win and the occasion of a thumping derby victory away from home, the tackle was clearly a memorable moment for the supporters and it is therefore no surprise that they still remember it so fondly three years on.
