Rangers-owned winger Glenn Middleton has reacted to drawing with Celtic on Saturday.

The Gers star, on loan at Hibernian, played a part as Paul Heckingbottom’s side held Celtic to a 0-0 draw at Easter Road this past weekend.

In doing so, the Rangers man’s loan side picked up only their second point in six Premiership games.

Middleton started the clash and lasted 71 minutes, before being substituted.

And the 19-year-old believes that the Edinburgh side had enough chances to beat Neil Lennon’s Celtic.

The youngster, who has earned 237 minutes of league football this season, told The Scottish Sun: “Obviously we are happy with the point, but we definitely feel like we should have won the game. We had chances, but at the same time things haven’t gone our way.

“Hopefully we’ll put that right next week.”

Celtic were a touch fortunate to finish the game with 11 men after Olivier Ntcham found himself embroiled in a first-half scuffle with Josh Vela, though the referee booked both instead of dismissing the Hoops midfielder.

On the flip side, the Bhoys, who are now only one point clear of Rangers in the Premiership, could have very easily been given two penalties, though Kevin Clancy did not entertain either.
