Graeme Murty has claimed that Rangers' goalless draw at Celtic is the first step on their "journey" back to success.
The visitors put in a solid display at Parkhead, with Alfredo Morelos coming close to scoring through several clear-cut openings.
Gers boss Murty was proud of his team's display against the champions and insists that the performance must be built upon.
"It was well deserved," the 43-year-old told Sky Sports News. "They had moments in the first half where we were fortunate and made good blocks, good saves. But we had opportunities to go and win the game. I'm really proud of the way the players stood up to a big challenge at a great stadium.
"We could have won the game. But I can't fault the guys, they gave me absolutely everything today. I feel now as though we're at the start of a very big job but it was a fantastic first step to take today.
"You have to accept what the players give you and today they gave me top notch levels that we have to use as fuel going forward. We can't take a backwards step from here.
"I said to the players when I walked out of this place last time it was with a sense of 'well done', I sit here now with a real sense of a journey we are just starting out on and we have to use that moving forward.
The stalemate keeps third-placed Gers 11 points behind the Scottish Premiership leaders.
