Andy Walker shares what he & Ally McCoist were baffled by in Rangers 2-0 win v Celtic

Andy Walker has revealed that he and Ally McCoist were baffled by the lack of commitment shown by Celtic in their 2-0 defeat to Rangers at Parkhead on Saturday.

Celtic have been widely criticised since suffering their second consecutive home defeat to Steven Gerrard's side at the weekend, which saw the Light Blues move four points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table thanks to two goals by Connor Goldson.

Neil Lennon was missing several first-team players for the Old Firm but Rangers were not at full strength either with none of Ryan Jack, Joe Aribo or Kemar Roofe starting at Celtic Park.

Walker does not think that the Bhoys' selection issues were the real reason they lost on Saturday and claims he and McCoist thought it was down to the players' attitude.

"I agree on paper there's plenty of options for the manager in every position but you can only describe the squad as strong if they are totally committed and focused," said Walker on the Sky Sports website.

"The big question is, are they?

"What I saw from the Sky Sports gantry at Celtic Park working alongside an equally bemused Ally McCoist was a Celtic side lacking in effort, very little commitment and a shortage of aggression against what was an impressive Rangers side."

It was more an exhibition game than an Old Firm derby at the weekend - maybe that's what we should come to expect from the so-called 'Glasgow derby' that Celtic fans like to call it nowadays. One team that wants to win because of everything the Old Firm stands for versus a team who have little grip on reality.

They didn't treat it like an Old Firm derby and lost.

Celtic have players who they paid a lot of money for but you get the feeling that there's an air of complacency and a lack of hunger across Glasgow.

Even as Rangers fans, you wouldn't expect that from someone like Lennon and that is probably why the likes of Walker and McCoist were as bemused as they were on Saturday.
