Everything Ange Postecoglou had to say to Sky Sports in the immediate aftermath of Celtic's SPFL Premiership game against Rangers at Ibrox...

What did you feel worked well today and what didn't?

Great game of football, mate. Before we get into the analysis I thought it was a cracking game for everyone - all eyes are on this game not just in Scotland but everywhere around the world and I thought both teams were at it today. It was a cracking game - I thought we started it really well and then we just lost control of it, mainly self-inflicted because of our passing and making mistakes, errors in our passing that we don't usually do. It allowed them to get back into it and they got a bit of momentum particularly with the crowd behind them. At the beginning of the second half they took a foothold for 15-20 minutes. But then great spirit and resilience shown by the lads. It's very easy on a day like this to resign yourself to our fate but we haven't done that - this year or last year - and we found a way.

Is that the most pleasing thing - that you didn't give up again, you didn't stop?

Everything's pleasing in terms of it's a difficult place to come to. They thre everying at us, they knew how important the game was in the context of the league and everything else so for the most part, we handled that OK.

In terms of when you say self-inflicted, is that a frustration that is easily fixed?

It is just human beings mate. They are not robots. It is a big occasion, it is a big game. I just thought we tightened up in areas where our football is usually a lot more free flowing. We didn’t do that today.
