It took a 90th minute goal from Adam Idah to separate the two sides at a packed Hampden Park.
The result was another blow for the Gers, who missed out on the Scottish Premier League title to their neighbours
Rangers have now only won one of their last 12 games against Celtic.
Speaking after the game, the Nigerian centre-back said: "I think the edge this season that they had over us was probably a bit in confidence and that they turned up and delivered when they needed to and that's where we fell short.
"It's not what you feel right now, going back to the rational side of things, but if we reflect on our season, it started really, really tough, (then a ) great comeback. You can't take it away from us, no matter how disappointed you are.
"But then in the end, results count and the main target we didn't achieve, so we were not successful in that way, and obviously this is another blow in the gut, especially if you look at the performance, I think the boys gave everything.
"It's hard so soon after the game, but my initial feelings are that I don't think we deserved to lose that game. It was pretty much equal. It felt on the pitch like things were going more our way and then, I don't want to call it a sucker punch because I think it's a bit disrespectful, but it feels like one.
âI think we need some time to settle down and then, probably looking back, there is probably a lot of positives to pick out of this of this game if you compare it to the last derbies that we played. But at the moment it just stings.â
