Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers lost their first match since Pedro Caixinha took charge against Celtic last weekend.
Glasgow Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has admitted to the Scotsman that his side’s lack of aggression in their last match against Celtic was a concern.
Rangers lost 2-0 against Celtic at Hampden Park last Sunday, and they rarely threatened their Glasgow rivals.
Rangers were surprisingly passive during the contest, with their pressing game not proving to be at all effective.
And Caixinha admits that the Light Blues lack of physical edge in the contest has worried him.
“It does worry me a little that the aggression was missing on Sunday – I wanted it from the very beginning,” he admitted.
“We have a principle and this week I am going to work on it a lot – we call it the ten second principle. If you start with the ball or your opponents start with it then you need to create some sort of danger within the ten seconds.
“We need to be angry about that and because it is an Old Firm game we need to feel shame about it because we didn’t perform.”
Rangers will have a chance to put things right against Celtic this weekend, as the two sides are set to meet again.
Caixinha’s side will host their city rivals, as they look to finally end the Bhoys’ dominance.
Celtic and Rangers have met five times already this season, but the Light Blues are yet to taste victory.
When Rangers last faced Celtic in the league, the match finished as a 1-1 draw.
