Chris Sutton dumbfounded at Ryan Naderi moment in Rangers win vs Celtic - 'It's incredible'
Chris Sutton was left short of words as Ryan Naderi came close to scoring a second Rangers goal against Celtic.
The German had found the net in the first half as he reacted fastest inside the penalty area.
Minsu Kim's volley caught out Viljami Sinisalo as the keeper parried the ball straight back into the middle of the box.
The Light Blues forward obliged and tapped into an empty net much to the delight of Derek McInnes.
It had looked as if the 23-year-old was going to make it a brace in the second half.
Naderi through himself at the ball, but what happened next left Sutton and the whole of Parkhead baffled.
What did Chris Sutton say about Ryan Naderi?
There was some surprise that the January signing had been given the nod once again.
He started up top alongside Kevin Kelsy, just as they did a week ago in the 3-0 win at Ibrox.
That decision certainly paid off with his opener, but that doesn't distract from a bizarre moment on 65 minutes.
A low ball was played into the Celtic six-yard box and the German looked to have got there to convert.
In the end, a strange series of events saw Naderi and Cameron Carter-Vickers battle right on the line, leaving Sutton baffled live via Sky Sports Football.
He stumbled over his words, but said: "He's stopped it from going over the goal line, has he? It's incredible."
Former Ibrox favourite Scott Arfield joined in, laughing in amazement as he added, "He tackles his own shot."
What do the stats say about Naderi in Rangers vs Celtic?
He might not have got his second goal, but the attacker can be pleased with his performance in the Old Firm.
Scoring the winner is what he deserved after so much hard work.
He clocked up 52 touches and 16 accurate passes, the latter which he utilised to create one chance.
Naderi also put up six defensive actions and got involved with a staggering 33 duels throughout the clash.
It will be frustrating that he took the most shots on the pitch with four and only scored one, but that is a small blotch on his performance.
The German was the difference between one point and three, even if he did leave Sutton and Arfield utterly baffled.
