The captain was speaking to Sky Sports following today's Old Firm defeat.
What’s your reaction to that game?
Obviously, we’re really disappointed to concede the goals that we did. But I’ve just looked back and seen their second goal was a handball and I didn’t believe our first goal was a foul. They’re the margins. You’re coming away with zero points and that’s what we didn’t wasn’t to do, so we’re all disappointed.
What significance does this have?
We have to move on. Try and go into the next game and get three points. It’s an important semi-final in three weeks' time. We’ve got to pick ourselves up and go again.
Did you think your free kick would kickstart a comeback?
Yeah, it was all even. I felt once we got into the game we controlled the ball really well. Obviously, the fine margins when we get into their box, at 3-2 we had some big chances. We have to take them, it’s a disappointing afternoon.

How do you reflect on 100 goals for Rangers?
It’s hard to take. [Look at] Mbappe who scored a hat-trick in the [World Cup] final and lost. We wanted three points so it’s irrelevant. We need to go again.
