“I’m really proud of the players. It’s a difficult place to come to. The boys were brilliant. They’ve had character from day one. There’s a real steel and resilience to this team.
He said he was “super proud” of his side.
Rangers gaffer, van Bronckhorst, meanwhile, said that the title race is “not over”, although admitting that the result makes winning a second consecutive title “more difficult for us”.
He added: “We wanted to win this game. We started really well. When you lose this game it is a big disappointment.”

He described the result as a “massive win”.
He added: “We keep pushing - and that’s what we did today.”
