Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon described his former team's derby defeat against Rangers as "absolutely battered" and "outworked" in a scathing assessment. Lennon, who was speaking to Sky Sports during commentary duties, maintained that Rangers were the superior team both physically and technically. The 1-0 loss was highlighted by Ryan Naderi's goal in the first half, with Celtic struggling to build any sustained momentum throughout the match.
Lennon criticized the second-half performance, stating that it was disjointed, outplayed, and outworked, which he deemed the worst label for a team.
