THERE was much talk about tinted spectacles at Auchenhowie yesterday as Philippe Clement fixed his glare on critics of his side's behaviour during and after Sunday's powder keg.
Claims Fabio Silva was guilty of simulation during the ferocious 3-3 draw had the Rangers boss accusing the accusers of seeing only what they wanted to see.
Likewise, the flak directed at the Ibrox boss and his players for their so-called lap of honour after failing to land a blow on their rivals at home had the Belgian narrowing his eyes in incredulity.
The sight of Rangers soaking up the acclaim of 50,000 fans immediately after drawing Sunday's Old Firm blockbuster certainly brought scorn from punters mainly wearing green-tinted glasses, as Clement would put it.
The manager was captured roaring in front of the Union Bears in the Broomloan Stand moments after Rabbi Matondo's stoppage-time wonder strike rescued a point in a brilliantly chaotic encounter.
The goal stopped Celtic carving out a four-point advantage at the top, having taken the lead with the first whistle having barely sounded, and could well prove to be the decisive moment in the most captivating title race in years.
That's what Clement was keen to focus on yesterday as he and his players prepared to head to Tayside for a clash with Dundee that, should it beat the weather, could see Rangers go top of the pile.
Not only that but the fact Sunday was the first time in three decades a side had come back from two down to snatch anything from the derby was worthy of raising eyebrows he reckons.
Former Celtic boss Neil Lennon led the criticism of the celebrations afterwards, claiming it "wouldn't have happened in my day".
Fellow ex-Celt and Record Sport columnist Chris Sutton also had a pop at Clement for dubbing Gers "moral winners".
