Celtic beat Rangers at the weekend.
Celtic star Callum McGregor has told The Herald that Rangers need to learn how to lose.
Rangers and Celtic players clashed at the final whistle as the away side’s players took exception to the celebrations.
McGregor has defended his Celtic teammates and insisted Rangers did exactly the same when they won at Ibrox.
He said his Celtic side behaved properly that day in late December, and Rangers must learn from them.
He said: “Rangers deserved to win that day, they were the better team. We took it on the chin, we were not great on the day. We accepted that – we weren’t going to shout about it and make noise and try and deflect from the actual result.
“On the flip side we deserved to win the game on Sunday so we celebrated that. It’s up to Rangers the way they want to conduct themselves. We always try and do it with humility.”
It’s no excuse, but this defeat was extra painful for Rangers.
It effectively confirmed that Celtic will win the Scottish Premiership title.
Rangers played most of the game with 10 men after Alfredo Morelos lost his cool, only to concede a late winner.
Now with up to three players facing suspensions, Rangers are counting the cost of their actions.
