Rangers look like they know where they want to go - Celtic just look lost
Tom English reflects on the first Old Firm league game of the season, in which Rangers repeated their League Cup win over Celtic.
Derek McInnes, the Rangers manager, likely desired to express his joy and relief about the team's victory over Celtic on the television camera lens. However, he maintained a composed demeanor, only shaking hands with Martin O'Neill, who is the Celtic manager. McInnes then commented on not overreacting following their back-to-back wins against their city rivals, emphasizing that the victory was just three points closer to Celtic.
This statement holds truth, but it is the first time a Rangers manager had achieved this milestone since Graeme Souness in 1986.
McInnes' perspective highlights the historical context of the match, but also underscores its relevance. Rangers demonstrated remarkable performance, which warranted their win, but they didn't reach the ruthless efficiency they showed a week earlier against Celtic. Winning by a single goal may not have fully reflected their dominance.
