Celtic captain Callum McGregor last night pushed away Vladimir Weiss as he intervened after a kick on Arne Engels.
In an unseen moment, McGregor stepped in to send away the former Rangers winger after he fouled the record Celtic signing as his frustrations boiled over in Glasgow.
Engels - who scored from the penalty spot -was embroiled in a battle with Weiss all evening and largely came out on top.
It was clear the former Rangers player was not enjoying the best of the contest when he flicked out at Engels in the first-half.
Referee Danny Makkelie was quick to produce a yellow card for the kick - and Weiss received an earful from an unimpressed McGregor as well after the foul.
Footage from after the kick show Weiss in heated discussions with Nicolas Kuhn as the referee checks on Engels. Celtic winger Kuhn motions over the kick before McGregor gets involved.

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!
