Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers says Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor kept their win narrow.
Celtic won a one sided Old Firm derby on Sunday, extending manager Brendan Rodgers’ undefeated record over their rivals.
The 1-0 scoreline did not reflect Celtic’s dominance, with the woodwork sparing Rangers’ blushes.
Celtic boss Rodgers praised Rangers’ goalkeeper Allan McGregor’s performance.
Rodgers said some of the saves McGregor made were ‘outstanding’ to deny his Celtic side and keep Rangers in the game.
He told The Mail: “We performed exceptionally well today.
“Allan McGregor made some outstanding saves, we’ve hit the crossbar a couple of times and that’s kept the scoreline down.”
Rangers held out for 62 minutes before midfielder Oliver Ntcham scored the winning goal.
Celtic had 16 shots compared to Rangers’ 6, with nine on target and only two from the away side.
Rangers signed McGregor on a free transfer in the summer after his Hull contract expired, and in the short term he has been an upgrade for Steven Gerrard’s side.
Unfortunately his heroics were in vain as Rangers found it tough to impose themselves on the game and really trouble Celtic’s defence.
