Despite Ibrox Loss The Campaign's Not Over Yet

Rangers 1 Celtic 0

Celtic fans experienced a heart-breaking loss on Sunday as Rangers won 1-0 with a goal in extra time.

While acknowledging that their cross-town rivals now have their destiny firmly in their own hands, Tony Mowbray was not conceding defeat in the League, saying that: "If you're going to be honest it's there for Rangers to lose.

"We'll need to see how their squad holds up; we have to win football matches and lots of them, between now and the end of the season.

"In recent years, a seven-point gap has been overturned a few times, with fewer games to go than at the moment.

"We have to apply pressure by winning football matches."

Both teams showed up to play on Sunday and Robbie Keane was unlucky not to have two more to his account - both being denied by great goalkeeping by Allan McGregor.

Rangers' Maurice Edu, who scored the winner in the 93rd minute also had the ball in the back of the net earlier, but it was ruled out due to a handball by Kenny Miller.

To make matters worse for Celtic, captain Scott Brown was sent off for a clash with Kyle Lafferty, a decision that Celtic have said that they will appeal.

Mowbray was realistic when analyzing the game afterwards, saying that he "thought in the first half we were the team in the ascendancy, we created the better chances and some good chances to score that we probably needed to take.

"At the start of the second half they came out on the front foot and put us under a fair bit of pressure.

"The sending off came at a crucial moment in the game, and it didn't allow us to counter attack. But it looked as though we'd done enough and were going to see the game out.

"Given the youthfulness of our defence I thought they did very, very well. It can be quite cruel sometimes, (to concede) in the 93rd minute, but we have to take it on the chin."

Robbie Keane has pulled out of Ireland's international friendly against Brazil at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Tuesday after picking up a knock to his knee. Hibs striker Anthony Stokes will take his place in the lineup.

As we went to press on Monday, Celtic announced that they would, as expected, be appealing the red card shown to Scott Brown in the Old Firm Derby.

The club's site described the card as "controversial" and said that, "certainly, any fair-minded person looking at the incident at the time or subsequent TV replays could see it wasn't a red card."
