Philippe Clement has claimed Rangers were "clearly moral winners" against Celtic.

The Ibrox boss reckons the second-half showing at Ibrox proved his side's credentials.

Rangers had been two goals down at the break but came back to claim a 3-3 draw in a breathless second half.

And Clement is confident Rangers won the fight against Celtic - even if the final scoreline was level.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Clement said: "There are moments I can say what I said at half time, it's better that I not say it now - that is between me and the dressing room. 

"I am happy about the reaction, they showed personality. 

"And I think at the end we are clearly moral winners of this fight, of this game - with a lot of passion, everything the supporters want, everything this club is about, they showed in the second half.

"And that they need to show in the next couple of weeks in every challenge we have."

Quizzed on whether the result shows the development in his side since his arrival, the manager commented: "I think there is a big evolution in that and they showed something special today. 

"It's another experience we have in the backpack because I always believed that they had the quality to do it.

"This doesn't give guarantees of course but if you keep pushing like in the second half then you can change things round even against a really good team like Celtic."
