Gerrard savours Old Firm win

STEVEN GERRARD hailed Rangers’ 2-1 win at Celtic as the best feeling of his managerial career so far as the blue side of Glasgow won an Old Firm clash on enemy soil for the first time since 2010.

Ryan Kent and Nikola Katic struck either side of Odsonne Edouard’s controversial equaliser to take control of the Scottish Premiership title race.

Gerrard’s men still trail Celtic by two points, but have a game in hand on the Scottish champions as they aim to end a run of eight straight league titles for the greenand-white half of Glasgow.

“It feels the best right now,” said the former Liverpool captain on whether this was his biggest win since taking charge 18 months ago.

“It’s emotional. You can see in my reaction after the game. It's a big moment for the team, for the club, it’s been through too much pain here.”

Rangers dominated the League Cup final between the sides earlier this month, but a host of missed chances and a stunning goalkeeping performance from Fraser Forster won 10-man Celtic the trophy.

However, Gerrard believes his side's performance in that match laid the foundations to get their reward this time round.

“Celtic took a trophy away from us, but we’ve come away with huge belief from that game,” added Gerrard.

“That’s why we’ve come here, took the game to Celtic and got a lot of joy from it.”
