Six Rangers stars 'culpable' for Celtic goal as Neil McCann makes Ryan Kent 'really low' assessment

Neil McCann believes SIX Rangers players were at fault for Celtic's goal at Hampden as he made a 'really low' claim about Ryan Kent.

The Light Blues lost out at Hampden in the Scottish Cup semi-final to Ange Postecoglou's men - who are now on course to complete a domestic Treble. The League Cup is already in the bag while a Premiership title party could take place as early as this coming weekend when the Hoops visit Tynecastle to face third-place chasing Hearts. Inverness now stand between the Scottish champions and the famous old trophy in June with the Parkhead side now overwhelming favourites to win the competition against Championship opponents.

The key moment in Mount Florida arrived moments before the half-time interval with former Ibrox man and now pundit McCann slating a large number of players in blue jerseys over a 'crucial mistake' that allowed Daizen Maeda to react and pick out Jota at the back post.

He also discussed Kent and how interested he was to see how he would get on up against Alistair Johnston after insisting the Celtic man had the number of the former Liverpool man in the last meeting. It was the same result this time around as he questioned the mental strength of the attacker - who looks to be heading for the exit door in the coming weeks.

He told BBC Sportsound: "They will sit down tonight and I think 'we were better than Celtic', and Michael Beale will come out and probably say that the fine margins again.

"It is that other crucial mistake that four, five, six players in a Rangers jersey are culpable for not taking responsibility when Maeda chips it into the box.

"I was really interested to see how he [Kent] would do against Alistair Johnston today because the last one Johnston has his number.

"I think he also had his number, Ryan Kent's mental strength today looked really low because he thought he couldn't get the better of this guy."
