Rangers defender Balogun reveals Gerrard’s half-time move against Celtic

Leon Balogun revealed Rangers manager Steven Gerrard "pushed the right buttons" at half-time as they edged Celtic 1-0 in Saturday’s Old Firm derby.

Rangers were the second-best team in the first 45 minutes, but a much-improved performance after the restart saw Celtic captain Callum McGregor put the ball into the back of his team’s net as Steven Gerrard’s side grabbed all three points at Ibrox Stadium.

The victory maintained Rangers’ dominance in the Premiership table as they now hold a 19-point lead above second-placed Celtic.
