Charlie Mulgrew has provided some insight into how the Celtic squad will have reacted to Rangers' shock Scottish Premiership loss against Ross County.
Philippe Clement's side had the opportunity to close the gap on Celtic in the title race when they travelled to Dingwall on Sunday, but sensationally fell to a 3-2 defeat, which has switched the momentum back in Celtic's favour.
Rangers do have their much-anticipated game in hand versus Dundee to come tonight, where they can reduce the deficit to a single point.
However, the Ross County setback will have really lifted the spirits of everyone at Celtic, according to former defender, Mulgrew, and despite admitting you never want to be relying on a rival slipping up, he knows Brendan Rodgers and Co will have been jubilant.

"It's brilliant," he said. "I remember being there myself and your looking at results and you can just imagine the players looking when Ross County went 2-1 up.
"They will just keep looking at their phones scared to refresh their app to see what the score is.
"Probably when Ross County scored the third and they got the notification, they would have fully expected Rangers to have equalised.
"To go 3-1 up, and even then it finishes 3-2, it's a great buzz.
"You don't want to be relying on other teams of course, but if a favour happens then it's a great feeling."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
