Rangers have been slammed for their 'League One standard' performance in their 3-3 stalemate with Celtic.

Former Aston Villa and England striker Gabby Agbonlahor took to social media site X to blast Philippe Clement's side. 

He wrote: "The standard from Rangers is League One." He followed it up with three crying emojis.

Now, expanding on his point while appearing on this morning's talkSPORT breakfast show, the pundit reckons a good portion of the team wouldn't make it in the Championship.

He commended Celtic for their showing in the game, insisting they could've been four or five up before Rangers eventually got back into the game via a James Tavernier penalty.

Ultimately though, Agbonlahor believes there are plenty of Rangers players who couldn't cut it in England's second tier - based on their first-half performance at least, as he went as far as namechecking some of their starters.

"The standard of Rangers' football in the first half, I was shocked," he said. "I was speaking to friends in group chats and I'm like: 'The standard!'

"Rangers fans created an outstanding atmosphere. It's a derby game the perfect game to go and play your best football. Tavernier was terrible and he's normally one of the better players for Rangers.

"Goldson, Wright, Lawrence, Dessers, honestly. I was watching this game and half of this Rangers team wouldn't get into Championship sides. That's how bad they were first half.

"Celtic were quite wasteful with a few chances but they were so on top in that first half. The Rangers fans were getting so frustrated with their team. Poor quality.

"Second half they made changes and were better. But Celtic should have scored four or five in that first half."

Celtic-daft Alan Brazil admitted: "I got so frustrated that I couldn't watch it. I had to sit on my balcony with the radio on and listen to the commentary.

"I had to sit there with a glass of wine and just try to kid on I was casually listening to it."
