Aaron Ramsey resets Rangers focus as he breaks Celtic defeat silence with 'hard to take' confession

Gutted Aaron Ramsey is targeting Europa League success with Rangers after derby defeat to Celtic.

The Welshman has endured an injury-hampered spell in Govan since his January move to Ibrox on loan from Juventus.

However, he has now started to make his mark in the Premiership and opened the scoring in the opening exchanges of the clash with Ange Postecoglou 's side.

But it would prove to be a disappointing day for the playmaker as he was unable to prevent Rangers falling six points off the pace in the Premiership title race.

Since the defeat, there has been radio silence from the Ibrox dressing room with James Tavernier's brief post-match debrief proving to be little consolation for disappointed fans.

Ramsey has now spoken out on social media following Sunday's game as he sets his sights on a European surge.

The quarter-final first leg in Braga gives Gio van Bronckhorst 's men the opportunity to bounce back from their league disappointment.

He posted to Instagram: "Hard one to take Sunday. Now time to get ready for a big night in Europe."

The 31-year-old has netted twice in his last two games for the Ibrox side as he ramps up his fitness ahead of the trip to Portugal.
