Pedro: Loss all my fault

PEDRO CAIXINHA held his hands up and accepted the blame for the performance which saw Rangers suffer their heaviest ever home defeat to Celtic.

The Ibrox boss insists he will not shy away from responsibility following a deeply embarrassing afternoon at Ibrox.

Speaking after the 5-1 humiliation, the Portuguese coach said: “We played well but I am to blame. It is my total responsibility.

“The players tried to do their very best, they had a fantastic attitude and they raised their level.

“Things didn’t go in the direction we were supposed to have planned so I am the man responsible.

“I saw more from my players this week [than in last weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final defeat], the way we started the game was in that direction.

“You need to judge me all the time. From day one since I came here.

“I not a guy who puts the responsibility on others, I take it all the time.”
