Philippe Clement says Rangers need to be more clinical against Celtic after falling to another Old Firm defeat against their Glasgow rivals.
The Belgian is now without a win in five games against the Hoops who ran 3-0 winners in the east-end of Glasgow on Sunday.
Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi both scored in the first-half before Callum McGregor secured all three points with a long-range strike in the second.
Celtic were well deserving of the win but Rangers did have a few chances in the game that they failed to take advantage of.
And Clement says that is something they need to improve on when they come up against the team from across the city.
He said: “We started the game really well, we had the best of the ball in the first ten-minutes. We had two really good opportunities with Cyriel (Dessers) in front of goal and Rabbi (Matondo) with a free header.

“We need to be clinical in these games, to go in front it changes the momentum and it would have helped the team a lot to go in front here and we didn’t.
“We did good things with the ball but we need to be more clinical in those moments.
“It was the same in the second-half, in the end Celtic have 14 shots and we have 13, we both have four shots on target each, but you lose 3-0 and that’s really a clear result and down to a difference in efficiency.”
