Chris Sutton, writing in his latest RecordSport column, is buzzing about the prospect of Brendan Rodgers having his top squad back in action.
This occurs as the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup are about to enter a crucial phase. The team is feeling better thanks to Reo Hatate’s recent bounce-back game and Callum McGregor’s anticipated return. The combination of Cameron Carter-Vickers returning to full fitness and Kyogo achieving some much-needed consistency makes for a potent concoction for Celtics fans.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are having a lot of injury problems. The Daily Record has brought attention to the recent thigh injury suffered by Ridvan Yilmaz, adding him to the list of seven important players [Abdallah Sima, Oscar Cortes, Ryan Jack, Kieran Dowell, and Danilo] who will probably miss the next games. Without a doubt, Yilmaz’s departure will have a big impact on Philippe Clement’s approach as a mainstay in the team’s lineup.
The match at Ibrox is looking increasingly important as the race for the title gets closer. After playing Hibernian at home, the Rangers team takes on Celtic in the highly anticipated derby. Given their history this season against Livingston and at Ibrox, the Bhoys could lead by at least four points before Rangers have an opportunity to close the deficit if they win their next two games. However, we are aware that it is not that easy!
