Steven Gerrard dedicated Rangers first win over Celtic in 90 minutes since 2012 to the club s fans while claiming their 1-0 victory could have been by a wider margin.
Ryan Jack s first goal for the club moved Rangers level on points with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership as Gerrard triumphed over his former manager at Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers.
The title race is now hotting up and Gerrard felt the 1-0 result could have been more emphatic in favour of his side.
This moment is all about the supporters, they’ve been through a lot, he told Sky Sports. Over the last couple of years they’ve been punished in these fixtures, so today is all about the supporters.
The players to a man were outstanding, all over the pitch. I asked them to win mo…

Lyon boss Rudi Garcia says he will tackle Ronald Koeman when the time is right over the Barcelona head coach s public courting of Dutch forward Memphis Depay.
Koeman made no secret of his desire to sign the Netherlands international during the recent transfer window but a deal failed to materialise, despite the player agreeing personal terms.
The ex-Netherlands boss revealed earlier this month he remains hopeful of signing Depay, describing the attacker as a great player who can provide Barca with something different.
However, Garcia has not taken kindly to Koeman s comments over a player who remains under contract with the Ligue 1 side until the end of the campaign.
Remind me to tackle Koeman when the moment is right, he said at a news conference on Fr…
Former Liverpool and Norway defender John Arne Riise has announced his retirement with immediate effect.
The 35-year-old – who scored 16 goals in a record 110 appearances for his country – revealed the news through a statement on his personal website.
Riise had been playing in his homeland for Aalesund, the club where he started his career, but revealed he no longer has the motivation to carry on.
Lately there has emerged a completely new feeling in me, a feeling that I am no longer strong enough to perform at my best, he said in the statement.
I like to play football, but the motivation is still not strong enough to run the race at the highest level.
This body – and this head – has been through so much over the last 20 years. It i…

Argentina’s Copa America Centenario campaign ended in utter disappointment.
Since their back-to-back titles in 1991 and 1993 respectively, La Albiceleste have endured difficult times in one of the most important competitions for the countries from the American continent’s point of view.
Argentina have won Copa America 14 times in total and were on the verge of claiming their 15th trophy which would have seen them level the tally with Uruguay, who are currently the most successful nation at the competition formerly known as South American Football Championship.
A testy showpiece for the 100th anniversary of the tournament was won by Chile, who showed great resilien…

14:00 Brighton vs Sheffield United
Claiming what was an essential Europa League victory on foreign soil earlier in the week as they secured a 2-0 victory away at Dutch giants Ajax, Brighton will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. While the Seagulls might still be trying to find some recent domestic stability, they will certainly be smelling a golden chance here.
Still gaining a string of plaudits since they appointed Roberto De Zer…
