The only goal was offside, Tavernier should have taken the pen and not let Morelos take it and the often seen 10 men shutting up shop against 11 worked for them. Once Celtic scored a goal against the run of play after Rangers had spurned so many chances, you could feel that would be the dagger to the heart of Rangers and Celtics experience in these situations allowed them to see out the game. Unlucky for Rangers in the end but they are closer to Celtic on the field now than they have been for a long long time.
Are they though ?
The Tims played an hour with a young winger as striker and the last 30 mins with 10 men. If you can't win in those circumstances today questions have to be asked about their bottle.

Also lets not forget Mikey Johnson's absolute "sitter" at 1-0 - set up meticulously by a proper "holding" CF named Edouard and "fluffed his lines" running in on a fully exposed Rangers goalie by being "too cute" instead of slamming the baw "low n hard" past a desperate McGregor and crucially on target for 2-0!! Swap Morelos for Edouard in this game and the French striker would've likely scored a "hat trick". Also remove Morelos from this Rangers team and question, "How good a team are they"? He may well be gone in January as he suggested to a Colombian tv sports host and contrary to what Gerrard has been uttering!
Morelos is a good player, good awareness but when he has time to think he invariably fucks it up. He doesn't play for the team either.
In any other league he is a red card waiting to happen. The refs here have stopped booking him for some reason.
