McGregor - brilliant. Couple of good saves.
Balogun - lots of chat about him starting instead of Helander but he was immense. For a freebie squad player he's been priceless.
Morelos - delighted for him. Doesn't score and still influences the game, like he has done this season for us.
Missing Jack and Arfield from the heart of our midfield and it showed a bit. But they're out injured and not Covid like the opponents 1st OF game so we can't use that excuse can we? 🤪
Little time to reflect.

Balogun has been a superb signing. Him and Goldson are the best partnership easily imo.
Aribo was the worst player on the park but ends up getting a vital touch that gives us a fantastic chance of winning the league.
I said 4 games ago win the next 5 and it’s all over...

That was the best opportunity Celtic had to beat us.
Having Jack and Arfield missing was big loss for us today. But we managed to grind out a win. That's league winning material.
Having Jack and Arfield back for the run in will be a real boost.
Celtic are at the point now where they have to win all their remaining league games and hope Rangers collapse.
That's a big ask in our current form and squad of players
Some amazing stats on Rangers league form to date.

We were really slack in possession. Front 3 didn’t hold the ball up or link the play well enough. Thought Jack and or Arfield would’ve made a big difference, Jack on the ball and Arfield getting in behind.
Good that we could bring on Hagi even with those two injuries showing our strength of squad. Thought he made an impact straight away, keeping the ball and getting a good shot away. Then Itten coming on too, great option.
Defence were great throughout, Celtic’s chances were from distance.
Agree next few games will be massive.

Yes I agree Itten had a good cameo appearance.
Looked "up for it" and as if he knows the importance of the game.

Aribo couldn’t quite get going today and shat out a few fifty fifties.
Agree Balogoun was terrific.
All the chat after the last OF game was about the players that were missing for Celtic.
They were mostly back today and they threw everything at us in an attacking sense.
Yet still no goals.
Pleasing.👍

Very pleasing indeed.
The Celtic squad does not look great. That was their strongest team against us today.
Ant more injuries or suspensions and they will be struggling.
Very very pleasing

Always like seeing Itten come off the bench, always a good option
