Whichever team does best in the derbies will virtually always lift the silverware at the end of the season. It’s hardly rocket science.
No manager in Old Firm history has enjoyed the success-rate in these encounters that Brendan Rodgers has. And it’s little wonder the Northern Irishman expects to relish the occasion tomorrow given his record of 12 wins, three draws and just a single defeat in the derbies across his two terms in charge of Celtic to date.
Commendably, Clement clawed back that deficit as Celtic faltered, but it was again in the derby at the turn of the year that Rodgers’ side showed there remains a gulf in quality between the two sides, even if Celtic are capable of a wobble every now and again. Despite any peaks and troughs in form, changes of manager across the city or injury crises this season, however, Celtic have been on course for three in a row ever since they won that first Old Firm of the season at Ibrox back in September.
