Pundit suggests Steven Gerrard’s Rangers may have been too complacent.
John Hartson has accused Rangers of getting too complacent after beating Celtic at Ibrox in December.
The 1-0 win was an achievement for Rangers, their first win over their Old Firm rivals since promotion in 2016.
Hartson has told the Daily Record he believes Rangers were too caught up in the victory and this has cost them.
He said Rangers need to look at their reaction to the victory.
The Gers have lost ground on Celtic in the months since, and enter this weekend’s clash against their rivals 10 points behind.
Hartson said: “Is that enough? Just turn up and beat Celtic in one Old Firm game? Does that make you happy?
“If it does, then you have a problem, because Rangers should have been looking to kick on from there.
“They haven’t, while Celtic have, and that’s why they are 10 points clear.”
Celtic’s gap at the top is even more remarkable considering the way manager Brendan Rodgers quit the club last month.
Interim boss Neil Lennon has rallied the team and knows what an Old Firm derby is all about, with previous experience as manager and player.
Steven Gerrard’s only experience as a manager at Celtic Park was a losing one, last September.
But as Hartson points out, if Rangers win, is it really enough?
