Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers were heavily beaten by Celtic in their latest outing.
Former Glasgow Rangers goalkeeper Cammy Bell has admitted to the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on 12th September on TalkSPORT, that Mark Warburton’s side were outclassed by Celtic in the Old-Firm derby.
Celtic ran out 5-1 winners over Rangers, in a humiliating defeat for the Light Blues.
Rangers rarely threatened throughout the contest, and Bell, who spent three years at Ibrox, fears that it could take time for his old side’s new additions to settle in.
“It was a difficult game for Rangers,” Bell said on TalkSPORT. “They have not been firing on all cylinders. When we played them last year, Rangers were much the better side, but Brendan Rodgers has turned Celtic around.
“I think it will take time for some of the new boys at Rangers to adjust to Scottish football.”
Rangers had managed to navigate past Celtic on penalties the last time the two sides met in the cup, but they were humbled by their bitter rivals at Parkhead.
A Moussa Dembele hat-trick and solitary strikes from Stuart Armstrong and Scott Sinclair gave Celtic a more comfortable victory than most were expecting.
Celtic are now four points clear of Rangers, as things stand, and they also have a game in hand over Warburton’s men.
Celtic are next in action tomorrow against Barcelona in the Champions League, while Rangers’ next fixture comes against Ross County.
