Originally published at: Michael Stewart says momentum is with Celtic after momentous Derby win
BBC pundit Michael Stewart has praised Celtic and Ange Postecoglou after the Hoops bossed Rangers at Parkhead last night. In an utterly dominant performance, Celtic out-though and out-fought Rangers to every ball, created countless chances and made it a trio of goals before half-time.

The 5 subs is also of benefit
