Video footage has surfaced, revealing a heated exchange that allegedly triggered the clash between Todd Cantwell and Callum McGregor following the Old Firm game.

Following a pulsating 3-3 derby showdown, Rangers’ playmaker Cantwell found himself in a physical confrontation with Celtic’s captain McGregor, as both Glasgow giants settled for a draw in the Scottish Premiership. The scuffle was eventually diffused by Celtic’s Greg Taylor along with other teammates, with Rangers’ Leon Balogun stepping in to remove Cantwell from the escalating after-match tension.

However, the seeds of the conflict seemed to have been sown earlier on the field, as captured by Sky Sports cameras capturing a verbal exchange between the duo during the game. Both players had entered the match as substitutes in the second half, with the tension building up until tensions boiled over following Rabbi Matondo’s late equalizer for Rangers.

At a critical moment in the game with a 2-1 scoreline, McGregor was spotted gesturing towards the scoreboard, seemingly telling Cantwell “it’s over.” According to social media lip readers, Cantwell responded with repeated assertions of “we’ll see” to the Celtic skipper. In the end, Cantwell’s words proved prophetic as Philippe Clement’s men managed to find a route back into the game to secure a draw.
