Gabby Agbonlahor reveals all on his Glasgow trip for Celtic vs Rangers and his nice little earner from derby clash

The former Aston Villa striker and talkSPORT pundit was in attendance at Parkhead

Gabby Agbonlahor has revealed all about his Glasgow trip for Celtic's win over Rangers – and the nice little earner he pocketed.

The Aston Villa legend was pictured in the stands as Brendan Rodgers' men ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over Philippe Clement's troops at Parkhead in the first meeting between the big rivals this season. Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and skipper Callum McGregor grabbed the goals to make it four from four in the league for the Hoops. Agbonlahor admits the feeling from inside the stadium from the supporters was that it would be a 'comfortable' afternoon for Celtic and he reckons that must be tough to take for Rangers faithful.

He is no stranger to a derby during his playing days south of the border and he shared what he would be feeling if he was watching on as a Rangers fan. His trip, that he loved, also ending with a meeting with Scotland international and Villa captain John McGinn.

He said: "Honestly I loved it. I went with my girlfriend and everybody was so friendly. It makes a change. Everyone is friendly up there and having some good talks about football. I stayed where the Scotland players stay so when I was leaving I spoke to John McGinn and Aston Villa's set piece coach, having a bit of banter. I loved it, I met a lot of Celtic and Rangers fans and had some banter with them as well. I really enjoyed it. "

He continued on the talkSPORT breakfast show: "I've watched a lot of Old Firm games and when you watch them you, you are like 'oh it could have went either way, it is close or there was tackles going in'. I am not one to go into someone, but I played in a lot of derby games and if I am a Rangers fans I am probably looking at it like 'they may be better than you, but put a tackle in. At least kick someone.'

"It was that one-sided and the feeling in the stadium from the Celtic fans was like 'why haven't we scored yet?' after 10 minutes. The goal gets disallowed allowed and it was 'don't worry we will score again soon'. It had that feeling that 'we are going to beat these comfortably'. That must be hard to take for any Rangers fans."

Agbonlahor revealed he had a flutter on the game and picked out a winner. He told co-host Shebahn Aherne that he backed a 3-0 win for the Hoops at 15/1 and netted a cool £150 from his bet. He joked that would be enough to buy one Aston Villa Champions League ticket with the pricing for their home games blasted by fans as 'out of touch' with costs reaching as high as £97 per game.

He added: "I had a tenner on 3-0 and it was 3-0. It was 2-0 and I was like 'don't score yet, take your time, we don't want that third goal going in too early so they get four or five'. 15/1 I had so I won £150. That will get me one ticket for the Bayern Munich game, one cone of chips and a Coke Zero."
