“Outstanding team performance from the first whistle,” Rodgers said at full-time, via the Telegraph. “We could have had more goals. We made a great start in the game.

“I said before the game I thought they would play a diamond and we could exploit that. Our tactical organisation and getting the ball back was excellent.

“We’ve had to improve as the season goes on. We’ve had to earn it and work hard. There is a big difference with this 5-1 to the one earlier in the season against them.”

Brown: The pitch helped us

Meanwhile, Celtic captain Scott Brown believes the Ibrox surface helped his side.

"The pitch helped, it was great,” Brown said. “It played into our hands. The lads were outstanding from start to finish."

One moment Celtic fans loved, besides the goals, of course, was Jozo Simunovic's crunching tackle on Miller in the first half.

Caixinha: It's my fault

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha took responsibility for the defeat.

“It was not about being disappointed, it’s about being realistic,” Caixinha said.

“They were better and they deserved to win. All the things changed [after the second goal]. The players were doing what we worked on during the week but it all changed in those five minutes [after the second goal].

“The players did everything they were asked. I assume all the responsibility. I take the responsibility for everything.”
