Celtic win was best Rangers performance since my arrival - Bocanegra

Carlos Bocanegra feels Sunday's Old Firm win over Celtic was Rangers best performance since he joined the club.

The USA national team captain arrived at Ibrox from French club Saint-Etienne in mid-August and played a key role in his first Glasgow derby which 'Gers ran out 4-2 winners.

Bocanegra felt it was by far the most impressive showing since he became a Rangers player and indicated that it was a shame the club was not involved in the Europa League this season.

"That was the best overall team performance since I came here," he said.

"Everyone worked together. It is going to be a little different against other teams that might sit back more against us.

"We will have to find ways to get through that.

"But we played such a good game against Celtic that you think 'Damn, how are we out of Europe?' because we have a good team.

"It wasn't working for us in past games, but we have to look forward."
