Barry Ferguson Reflects on Celtic’s Victory Over Rangers

In the aftermath of Celtic’s triumph over Rangers, the post-match analysis and punditry chatter have been buzzing with reactions. Barry Ferguson, the former Ibrox midfielder, has shared his insights on the game, joining a chorus of disappointed Rangers-leaning pundits.

Ferguson admitted in his column for the Daily Record that the defeat stung, exacerbated by the experience of witnessing the match from the Parkhead director’s box. The jubilant Celtic fans’ celebrations, particularly their playful taunting at 3-0 up, did not sit well with Ferguson, leaving him visibly perturbed.

Highlighting his disappointment in his team’s performance, Ferguson expressed frustration at the manner in which Rangers conceded the loss to Celtic. Notably, it was the fans’ actions that seemed to irk him the most, a sentiment not lost on former Celtic favorite Chris Sutton, who playfully jabbed at Ferguson on social media.

With Celtic now boasting a five-point lead over their Glasgow rivals in the Scottish Premiership, the pressure is mounting on Rangers, who find themselves in an unexpected fourth place behind Dundee United and Aberdeen. As the upcoming fixtures loom, all eyes are on how Rangers will bounce back from this early setback under Ferguson’s leadership.
