Rangers midfielder Harry Forrester reflects on missed chances against Celtic
Monday 2 January 2017 12:26, UK
Rangers forward Harry Forrester believes his indecision cost the team a chance of avoiding defeat against Celtic on Saturday.
Forrester came off the bench for the last eight minutes of Celtic's 2-1 victory at Ibrox and squandered an opportunity to set up fellow substitute Joseph Dodoo to level the match.
Celtic came from behind with goals from Moussa Dembele and Scott Sinclair after Kenny Miller had opened the scoring for Rangers with an early strike.
Rangers had survived an onslaught of Celtic pressure for almost an hour but the visitors failed to add to their advantage as they were denied by the woodwork, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and some profligate finishing.
And the champions almost paid for their missed chance in the dying minutes when Miller hit the inside of the post from a tight angle.
But Forrester feels he could have done more to help widen the gap to three points between Rangers and third place Aberdeen.
"Just watched the game back, big mistake by me not slipping in Joe," Forrester said on social media..
"Hold my hands up. Had a lot of chances to get something from the game."
Speaking after Saturday's match, Miller was also frustrated his effort did not find the net.
"I don't know what happened. I'll be looking back for a while wondering what went wrong," Miller said.
"I'll replay that moment over and over in my head. For me, it's effectively cost us a point."
