Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers lost 2-0 against Celtic in their most recent outing.

Glasgow Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has told the Daily Record that he demanded a reaction from his players, immediately after they lost to Celtic last weekend.

Rangers were beaten 2-0 at Ibrox by their Glasgow rivals, in what was a disappointing defeat for the Light Blues.

Rangers had been hoping to trouble Celtic to show that they had made progress over the summer, but Brendan Rodgers’ side continued to dominate the tie.

And Caixinha says that he is now expecting a big reaction from his Rangers side, ahead of their match against Hamilton tomorrow evening.

“At the end of the Celtic game I said I expected a reaction, a strong reaction,” Caixinha said.

“I also said that now was the moment to show which (muscle) mass, which blood we have in us to show a strong reaction.

“I also said something else. We were going to see who is in favour of this vision, of this process – and who is against it.

“That’s all. I did it just after the match.”

Rangers are under pressure to start picking up wins, as they have not made the most auspicious of starts to the new campaign.

Caixinha’s side defeat to Celtic means that they are already eight points behind their main rivals but, more worryingly, they are in fifth place in the Scottish Premiership, as things stand.

A victory against Hamilton could lift Rangers up as high as third place in the table though, and that would at least help the Ibrox side gain some momentum.
