Match Report

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan said: "It keeps us going for another week - that's all we've done.

"We'll just try to keep it going as long as possible.

"We just had to win this game. The permutations afterwards will take care of themselves.

"After scoring the first goal it kind of spooked us. We sat a bit too deep but sorted it out in the second half and it worked well for us."

Rangers manager Walter Smith added: "I felt it was a decent game, but I am a little bit disappointed to give Celtic the goals rather easily.

"It was poor defending from ourselves. That apart, our players did exceptionally well to come back from the early goal.

"But we are disappointed to lose the last goal. I think it was a contributory factor that David Weir had come off."
