Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou didn't see winning against Rangers as the "priority" going into the derby showdown, according to pundit Rory Loy.
It was a disappointing day for the Hoops at Ibrox as they fell to a 3-0 defeat to Michael Beale's side just days after sealing the Scottish Premiership title.
It offered plenty of positives for Beale as he earned his first Old Firm derby victory since stepping into the hot seat with a convincing win over Postecoglou's Treble chasers - but some pundits and Celtic fans have caveated due to the changes made to the starting XI.
The likes of Hyeongyu Oh and Alexandro Bernabei came into the line-up at the expense of Kyogo Furuhashi and Greg Taylor, while Yuki Kobayashi and Antony Ralston have been handed a run in the side due injuries for Alistair Johnston and Cameron Carter-Vickers.
