Ange Postecoglou accuses Celtic players of 'accepting their fate' against Rangers as he bemoans derby performance

Ange Postecoglou accused his Celtic players of accepting defeat to Rangers in the last Old Firm derby of the season at Ibrox.

The Hoops gaffer was disappointed with the champions’ display as Michael Beale’s men ran out easy 3-0 winners. Postecoglou’s side have been superb in securing their second successive title. But the Parkhead boss - who is renowned for his ‘we never stop’ mantra - says his team took their foot off the gas in Govan.

Afterwards, he said: “In the second half, I just felt we almost accepted our fate rather than going out there and trying to change the course of the game. They’re human beings and they’ve had an outstanding season. We had the euphoria of winning the league last week and it was weird winning it - then having to play away again. You don’t really get the chance to appreciate the moment. But welcome to Celtic. That’s the expectation here and it’s not going to change.
