Goldson said: “Did you see it? What did you think? Put it this way, if that makes someone go to ground then I must be the strongest man in history.

“My one finger must be so strong that it makes someone go to ground. The crowd make a noise, it is a free-kick and I get a yellow card.

“I am not going to come here and blame the referee for our performance. I thought we gave a good account of ourselves but at crucial times in games when it doesn’t go your way you are disappointed.”

It was to prove a frustrating afternoon for Rangers as they failed to build on their European two-legged success over Ufa in the first Old Firm showdown. The Gers grew into the encounter as an attacking force but never caused Celtic enough problems as their poor derby record continued.

Defeat to Brendan Rodgers’ side was the first real setback under the guidance of boss Gerrard and leaves them four points adrift of Celtic in the Premiership standings.

Goldson said: “I thought we were in the game for the whole game. Obviously they have a few chances across the game, so do we.

“We were unbeaten for 12 games and we lose 1-0 but I am proud of the team that I play for and proud of how they performed. I think we will only keep growing.

“We gave them too much respect in the first half, I don’t think we got out and pressurised them and defending a bit too deep.

“Second half the game was in the balance and we started playing football a bit more like we can.

“I think just before they score you start to hear their crowd get a bit edgy and their players forcing things a bit.

“That is what we wanted, what we knew would happen and the game plan was working but obviously the goal lifts the crowd and whole team and it is tough to get back.”
