Rangers suffered a humiliating and embarrassing 5-1 defeat to Old Firm rivals Celtic at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.

The Gers were always going to find it hard to win against Brendan Rodgers’s side, but the way they fell apart and could not even give the Hoops a run for their money must be quite frustrating for the home fans.

Tam McManus was following the match, and the 36-year-old former Hibernian and Dundee forward was not impressed with the performance of Pedro Caixinha’s side.

Interestingly, McManus has taken this moment to criticise Mark Warburton, now at Nottingham Forest. The Scotsman has blamed Warburton for leaving Rangers in a mess due to his poor signings.

Visitors Celtic had 53% of the possession, took 18 shots of which seven were on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.
