Rangers secured back-to-back wins over Celtic after following a 3-0 League Cup win at Ibrox with a 1-0 Scottish Premiership victory at Celtic Park.
Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday was on punditry duty for BBC Scotland and he praised manager Derek McInnes for improving the Ibrox side's fortunes after an early-season European exit.
"Take it back a month when Derek McInnes was under real pressure," Halliday said. "A big thing that was quite confusing to people is, 'it doesn't look like a Derek McInnes team'.
"Wow, how that narrative has completely changed over the last three, four weeks. That for me is a Derek McInnes team, what we watched. Front foot, aggressive, making contact with people, when they win the ball back playing forward, running forward and putting Celtic under constant pressure for large parts of the game.
"The second half was even better than the first from Rangers. Complete control, waves of attack. It wasn't until probably the last five, 10 minutes when Celtic started to put Rangers under any pressure.
"I honestly don't think I've ever seen a Rangers team go to Celtic Park and get so many easy touches of the ball. I thought there was an M8 motorway between the teams and not the width of the M8, probably the length."
Ryan Naderi scored the game's only goal before half-time and former Rangers forward Peter Lovenkrands was impressed with how McInnes and the visitors picked up the three points.
"Coming here now, at Celtic Park and winning for two in a row is an unbelievable achievement for him and the team and the club," said the Dane.
"For Rangers, it's going to give them so much confidence."
