Delighted boss Steven Gerrard has led the praise on Rangers after their victory over Celtic.
A number of Covid cases saw the Ibrox boss forced into quarantine ahead of the first derby clash of the season against their Glasgow rivals.
Gary McAllister revealed the absent boss had been in constant contact with the team on the day, and he will have been punching the air at home after Filip Helander 's second half winner.
It rounds off a hard week for the club which saw them battle through to the Europa League group stage with several first-team stars isolating.
Among the big names missing were Allan McGregor, James Tavernier and Nathan Patterson with back-up stopper Robby McCrorie and makeshift right-back Leon Balogun stepping in for the showdown.
After his players made it six Premiership games unbeaten against their bitter rivals, Gerrard took to social media to pay tribute to his star men.
He posted to Instagram with a message to Rangers fans: "Today we showed our spirit and unity after a challenging week.
"Players, staff and supporters deserve this victory.
"Onto the next challenge! Stay safe."
