Bellamy points finger at Rangers star

Former Celtic striker Bellamy claims he has been left nursing a foot injury after being clattered during Wednesday night's game at Ibrox. The 30-year-old was given a hostile reception from the home fans after coming off the bench but it was what happened on the field which upset him. "I expected to get stick from the Rangers fans," said Bellamy, who spent the second half of the 2004-05 season on loan at Celtic and netted in an Old Firm win. "But it was a little bit more than the stuff I get elsewhere. Some of the stuff they said was a little bit different. "I have played for a few clubs in my career and in a few derby matches, but the rivalry between the Old Firm is the most intense I have ever experienced. "But, having said that, you don't need a player trying to effing hit you, if you know what I mean. That's the reason I am hobbling around on flip flops now. "I'm not going to mention the guy's name. I'm not even bothered about him. He got an extra cheer from the crowd for it, didn't he, so obviously he felt it is worth his while." Bellamy is hopeful of being fit for what would be a reunion with Celtic at the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday. He said in the Evening Times: "My foot obviously isn't the greatest at the moment after what happened last night, but I am going to have some treatment on it and hopefully it should be okay."
