Rangers star Lee Wallace has told the Daily Mail that they must realise that there is plenty of football still to be played this season following the loss to Celtic.
Mark Warburton’s side travelled to Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon to take on their rivals in the first Old Firm derby in the league in four years.
It proved to be a disastrous afternoon for them though as Brendan Rodgers side ran riot to secure a comprehensive 5-1 victory.

It was a chastening experience for the Gers but Wallace insists the worst thing they can do is feel sorry for themselves as there is plenty of games left to play.
“We have to realise that we’re only five games into a season,” he told the Daily Mail.
‘The worst thing we can do is feel sorry for ourselves. We have to stay together. There’s no way we can let it affect the preparations for our next game.”

It will now be interesting to see how Mark Warburton ensures that his side does not dwell on this result.
It would not be surprising to see them struggle once again next time around, with the loss to their rivals likely to be one that’s hard to shake off quickly.
Mark Warburton will be keen to ensure that does not happen, though, and will be intriguing to see what he does to try and ensure it doesn’t end up derailing his side early on in the season.
