The win gives Rangers a massive boost in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.
After losing the first Old Firm derby of the season, Gerrard urged his team to lay down a marker.
Midfielder Steven Davis said it was a massive step forward for the team to win at Celtic Park, which is always a difficult place to go.
“For 35 minutes in the first half we were excellent,” Davis told Sky Sports.
“The penalty decision goes against us but Greegsy was excellent, making a great save. From there on in we showed great game management in the second half.
“It wasn’t the best time to concede so it was important we bounced back from that.
“From there on we were excellent and limited them to a few chances from set pieces.
“Overall, it’s a big three points for us but it’s important we come back from the winter break and get ready to go again.
“There are going to be twists and turns but we have to show that level in the second half of the season. This was a massive result for us and we’ll take a lot of confidence from it.
“There’s a lot of football to be played but we’re in a good place at this moment in time.”
