Celtic boss Gordon Strachan blamed his side's inability to convert a number of chances for Sunday's 1-0 Old Firm defeat by Rangers at Parkhead.
Ugo Ehiogu's 50th minute goal settled the match, but Strachan felt his side would have taken something from the game had they not squandered a host of first-half chances.
"You've got to take your chances and make the right decisions at the correct time," he said.
"I was very pleased with our performance in the first half and then up to their goal.
"Up to that point we bossed the game and played with a good tempo.
"Rangers were galvanised by their goal and we were in shock for about ten or 15 minutes. We made a lot of chances but it was not our day.
"We had a lot of opportunities to kill off the game, I was pleased with that aspect, but we are not taking our chances. Rangers also defended very well."
