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.But there was also uncertainty in the Celtic backline for the first as Miller ran into space before sliding the ball home."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."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."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."If the referee thinks he got it right then so be it," Mowbray said."He gets paid to make decisions and I'm sure the referee will be disappointed if he thinks he got it wrong."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.And Gers boss Walter Smith admitted he was disappointed with some of his side's play."We could have caused Celtic more trouble," he said. "But we've ended up defending very well."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."
