Mowbray points finger at defenders
Glenn Loovens - in for Gary Caldwell at centre-half - was certainly at fault for the second as former Celtic striker Millar brushed off his challenge to fire past Hoops keeper Artur Boruc.[LNB]But there was also uncertainty in the Celtic backline for the first as Miller ran into space before sliding the ball home.[LNB]"We allowed them to score," Mowbray said. "There was a lot of quality in our side and yet we find ourselves having lost the game.[LNB]"The bottom line is, I've been critical of them over the last few weeks, hoping to get a reaction and yet the mistakes are still there."[LNB]Shaun Maloney had a strong appeal for a penalty in the first half turned down after tripping over David Weir but Mowbray declined to explicitly criticise referee Craig Thomson.[LNB]"If the referee thinks he got it right then so be it," Mowbray said.[LNB]"He gets paid to make decisions and I'm sure the referee will be disappointed if he thinks he got it wrong."[LNB]Rangers, denied Lee McCulloch and Madjid Bougherra through flu, also lost Andrew Little - making his Old Firm debut - and Kris Boyd to injuries in the first half.[LNB]And Gers boss Walter Smith admitted he was disappointed with some of his side's play.[LNB]"We could have caused Celtic more trouble," he said. "But we've ended up defending very well."[LNB]Miller added: "We can play better. We were a bit edgy a bit panicky in the second half but we got the points and that's all that matters."[LNB][LNB]
