Russell Martin's Rangers and Brendan Rodgers' Celtic served up a drab draw
Half an hour after an almost offensively poor Old Firm derby had ended - a slugfest in the bearpit - a seagull swooped down from above the Sandy Jardine stand at Ibrox.
In the millisecond it took to flip a piece of bread in the air and shove it down its beak while staying airborne it provided more entertainment than the players had done for the 90 minutes that went before. It was about the only graceful thing we saw all day, a rare amount of accuracy in the wake of one of the worst Old Firm games in living memory that limped to a 0-0 conclusion.
It's not often you could say it of Russell Martin in his time as Rangers manager, but in the aftermath, he nailed it.
When talking about the strengths of his team's performance, he spoke of their fight, their aggression, their desire, their spirit and their togetherness. You couldn't disagree with any of it. This was a game to make the eyes bleed, but at least the beleaguered Rangers manager saw something different from his team - organisation, resilience, a clean sheet.
