Rangers will give their Scottish title hopes a major boost if they beat Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday - here are five things they must do to come out on…
RANGERS will give their chances of winning the Scottish title for the first time in three years a major fillip at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon if they defeat current league leaders Celtic.
How can they put those results behind them and give their fans an improved performance as well as a momentous triumph to cheer? Here are five things they must do to come out on top.It is fair to say that Celtic have very much had the upper hand on Rangers in the middle of the park in the two Old Firm games which have taken place this season.They will have to do better, far, far better, in that crucial area if they are to prevail on Sunday.
Rodgers’ men will receive a hostile welcome when they emerge from the tunnel before kick-off and will be doing well to maintain their composure in what is sure to be an intimidating atmosphere thereafter. Scoring goals has not been an issue for Rangers since the last Old Firm match – they have plundered 29 in their last 11 league outings. But they have to prove they hit the target when the heat is well and truly on. To date this term, they have been found wanting.When Clement replaced Borna Barisic with Ross McCausland at Ibrox last Saturday he moved Dujon Sterling, who had just come on for Scott Wright, to left back.
Barisic is, of course, a veteran of numerous derbies. But he has not featured much of late and when he has got on he has lacked a little of his old sparkle going forward. Defensively, he has not always convinced against the reigning Scottish champions.
