Keystone Cops defending left the Rangers penalty area looking a bit like Nicola Sturgeon’s garden. But James Tavernier reckons it was the officials at Parkhead who let Celtic out of jail on Saturday.

The Rangers captain has often had the thankless task of fronting up after Old Firm defeats. There have been explanations, excuses and sometimes even apologies to supporters.

But it was different on Saturday. Tavernier is angry rather than sorry. The Light Blues leader was wheeled out once again to talk after defeat by the bitter rivals but his head was held high.

He knew this wasn’t like the Viaplay Cup Final when Celtic did a number on his side. Rangers were well in the fight at Parkhead at the weekend and it was a clash of fine margins.
