GLASGOW (Reuters) - Rangers manager Steven Gerrard's first taste of the Old Firm derby proved a bitter one as Celtic emerged with a thoroughly-deserved 1-0 victory at Parkhead on Sunday.

Celtic secured the points in the 62nd minute when Olivier Ntcham slotted home after a sweeping counter-attack but while Gerrard argued that there had been a foul in the build-up the margin of victory could have been much wider.
