Michael Stewart has revealed on Twitter that he simply couldn’t get over Celtic’s tactics in this afternoon’s defeat by Rangers.

Steven Gerrard’s side brought the bragging rights and the points back to Ibrox after beating the Hoops 2-0 at Parkhead today.

Goals in both halves from Connor Goldson were enough to give Rangers a second-straight away win over Celtic in an Old Firm clash.

On the balance of play, Gerrard looked to outwit Neil Lennon in the tactical stakes, evident by the fact that Bhoys striker Patryk Klimala, starting ahead of the absent Odsonne Edouard, managed only 12 touches in over an hour of football.

At both ends of the field, Rangers were simply better and here’s how Stewart reacted to how Celtic boss Lennon set his team up:

The light Blues won’t get carried away with this win.

Rangers, who are looking to end Celtic’s 10-in-a-row bid, also won at Paradise in December, but within a couple of months found themselves 13 points behind their Glasgow rivals.

The key for Gerrard is to ensure that his troops remain grounded.

After all, Celtic are only four points behind – with a game in hand.
