Rangers captain David Weir has called for a positive response to his side's shock defeat to Hibernian as they prepare to face Aberdeen this weekend.
The Scottish champions suffered a 3-0 loss - their first in the league at Ibrox in 20 months - to a Hibs side who headed into the game joint-bottom of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
"We just need to win the game on Saturday, to be honest. That is the priority," he said.
But Weir insists Walter Smith's men must learn the lessons from their reverse against Hibs and return to winning ways this weekend.
He said: "We just need to win the game on Saturday, to be honest. That is the priority.
"It's got to be short term and looking to win the next game and putting on a decent performance. We weren't happy with a lot of things in this game and we learn a lesson. It's important we come out on Saturday and respond in the right way."
Boss Smith admitted he had maybe asked too much of his small group of players in recent games but 40-year-old Weir claims fatigue was not a factor.
"If you look for an excuse, you will find one," he said. "When you lose a game, you start to question yourself and you look for reasons for that defeat.
"I can only speak for myself and say I don't think tiredness was a problem. We just didn't play well enough, really. It was a very disappointing night. Losing 3-0 at home is always a big disappointment.
"If you look at the last couple of games, the results haven't been good enough."
