Celtic manager Martin O'Neill: "We were well beaten. The 3-0 scoreline doesn't hide it, it was a tough afternoon for us.
"We were well in the game early on, even at half time, but they were stronger than us on the day and they deserved to win.
"I think throughout the first half we, in really good positions, gave the ball away, we had three or four brilliant opportunities on the counter-attack and wasted them.

"Everything Rangers did I expected them to do. Whatever way Rangers set up, they're not going to give me a call and say what they're going to do so we had to counter that.
"Next Sunday will be a different ball game but we've got the home crowd with us and if they make the same sort of noise as Rangers made today that will be very helpful. We can learn from this and that's the most important thing, we need to.
"If you've been beaten in the game you always think about selection. I will think about my own part in proceedings and then we'll see. I wanted people to experience this atmosphere and they certainly did today.
"This is a setback today and hopefully a learning curve for us."
