Rangers lost 2-0 at home to Celtic on Saturday afternoon.

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha is seen prior to the Betfred League Cup Quarter Final at Firhill Stadium on September 19, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha held a crunch meeting with his players in the aftermath of Saturday’s defeat to Celtic.

The Gers had hoped that their summer spending would close the gap to the Celtic, but the opening weeks of the season, and in particular Saturday’s meeting between the two sides, have shown just how Rangers still have to go.

Tom Rogic and Leigh Griffiths hit the back of the net with second half goals for Celtic, condemning Rangers to yet another Old Firm defeat as the Bhoys’ dominance continues.

Manager Caixinha will be disappointed to have lost in such comfortable fashion, and it seem that he has held a meeting with his players in the aftermath of the defeat.

The Scottish Sun report that Caixinha assembled his players to discuss the lack of togetherness in the side, as he wants his new players to gel better than they have done so far this season.

Caixinha is understood to have angrily ordered his players to pull together and perform better, with the Rangers boss clearly unhappy at losing to Celtic again.

It’s claimed that the Rangers squad were stunned at just how furious Caixinha was, and only time will tell whether the ferocity of his message is what the Rangers players needed to hear.

Caixinha allegedly wanted his players to leap to Alfredo Morelos’ defence after a clash with Scott Brown, and he will hope for more togetherness from his players when they take on Hamilton Academical on Friday night.
