Balogun 'sad, disappointed & angry' as Rangers fall short again

Rangers defender Leon Balogun tells BBC Scotland: "I'm sad, disappointed, angry to miss out. It's hard to speak so soon after the game but my initial feelings are that we don't deserve to lose that game.

"It was pretty much equal, it felt on the pitch things were going more our way. I don't want to call it a sucker-punch because that's disrespectful but it feels like one.

"I think we need some time to settle down and then when we're looking back on it, there will probably be a lot of positives to pick out compared to the last few derbies, but at the moment it just stings.

"I can't say [on the disallowed goal] I heard a few different things. I know Joe Hart said on the pitch that at one point it felt like his neck was being pulled back when another player said it was very light.

"I think the edge this season they had over us this season was in confidence. They turned up and delivered when needed to and that's where we fell short."
