BARRY FERGUSON insists one bad derby with Celtic doesn't make Rangers a poor team to watch.

 

Barry FergusonEver since the sides' 0-0 draw at Parkhead on Sunday, there has been much condemnation of the game as a spectacle.

 

Many have said the Old Firm clash isn't what it used to be and claimed a dip in quality signings by each club has led to a more disappointing product overall.

 

But Ferguson has hit back and is determined to prove Gers are still an entertaining team when they take on Kilmarnock in the SPL at Ibrox tomorrow.

 

He said: "We've heard all week about the derby and we know it wasn't great game for people to see.

 

"But I've played in plenty of great Old Firm matches and it's just a case that the latest one wasn't a great spectacle.

 

"Hopefully we'll show that was the case tomorrow against Kilmarnock and we will give a better performance against them.

 

Barry Ferguson"We want to go and entertain people. It would have been great if we could have gone out on Sunday and won 4-3 but it didn't turn out that way.

 

"Now we'll move on. There have been plenty of times this season that we've played good football and we'll do that again.

 

"People criticised us for the way we played last season, despite the success it brought us, and they're going to have their opinions.

 

"But we try to go out and play as well as we can every week and we are still capable of doing that for our fans."

 

Ferguson is eager to take Gers top of the league tomorrow ahead of Celtic's game with Motherwell on Sunday.

 

It is more than three months since the Light Blues found themselves at the top of the summit but now they're only a victory away.

 

Ferguson battles for the ballFerguson added: "We are under pressure this year and we know that so we need to handle that and win the league.

 

"Now it's close again. After the last Old Firm game, people said we had lost the title but we're only two points behind.

 

"We never believed it was over and if we win against Killie, we'll go top. That is a big incentive for us and I feel we've got a good enough squad to take the title.

 

"When you set out at the start of the campaign, your focus is on winning the championship but we've not done that in the last three years.

 

"That's not good enough. It was nice winning cups last season and getting to the UEFA Cup final but me and the rest of the guys in the dressing room really want the league."
