Rangers are still riding high after their Old Firm derby victory over Celtic.

The Gers put their fierce rivals to the sword with a 3-0 victory at Ibrox in the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals.

Dan Neil was on target twice for Derek McInnes' side, while striker Kevin Kelsy also got off the mark for Rangers.

Rangers have the opportunity to prove it was not a one-off as they visit Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday (20 September).

Until then, they have the bragging rights for at least a few more days in the Glasgow.

Former Rangers striker Kevin Kyle loved one thing he saw from Rangers players last week, though he would have done things slightly different.

How would Kevin Kyle have celebrated Rangers' win?

On Wednesday, Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin posted a video of he and his team-mates enjoying a coffee.

There was a big group of the squad there, hinting that the mood in camp is still sky high after the win over Celtic.

Kyle, speaking on the Go Radio Footbal Show, stated how he loved to see the players showing they are a close-knit group.

"I was scrolling through social media earlier on and I saw a group of the Rangers players were out having a coffee this afternoon together," Kyle said.

"Someone's taken a picture of them, sat there thinking that's what happens with good sides and good camaraderie around teams, you want to spend time with them away from the pitch."

Former Celtic player Peter Grant made the point that the losing players would not want to be seen in the aftermath of such a convincing defeat.

Kyle then Grant in hysterics when he quipped back: "The coffee's irrelevant, I'd rather see them sat with a pint of Tennent's to be honest!"

Rangers need to make the most of this feeling

In fairness, both men make a valid point about this video Raskin posted.

Of course it is great to see Rangers' squad being close-knit and enjoying being in each other's company, that is a sign things are going well on the pitch.

But, if you lose the Old Firm, the last thing you want to do is be seen out and about acting like it doesn't hurt.

Rangers need to really build on this feelgood factor and take it back to the pitc at Celtic Park this weekend.

If they can, then their chances of victory will be greatly enhanced, and given there is a five-point gap to Celtic in the league, a victory would be huge

Who knows, if they do get another win then maybe this time they will celebrate with a Tennent's.
