The title race is set to go to the wire with the Glasgow giants battling it out at the Premiership summit.
If Rangers were playing Celtic at tiddlywinks, it would still feel like lives depended on it. But when I think about next Sunday’s derby at Ibrox – and what it could mean to Rangers, in particular – I can’t remember a bigger one. Genuinely, in terms of importance, I’m not sure there’s been an Old Firm as huge as this for at least a DECADE. That’s how massive it is for Philippe Clement ’s side.
That’s just rubbish. It’s impossible to imagine. What I would say ahead of Sunday is that IF Rangers lose the game the title is still alive. Of course, it will be nip and tuck with another gigantic derby to come at Parkhead. Could Celtic still salvage it? Yes. But they would need Rangers to drop six points before the end of the season.
We HAD to win that day to stay on course for the title. This Sunday’s game is giving me the same type of feeling. If we’d lost we’d have been relying on Celtic to drop points and it would have been a long way back for us. I’ve noticed a change in the Rangers’ fans this season. It was really apparent in the 2-1 win over Aberdeen back in February. At 1-1, that game was so tight and previously the crowd would have been nervy and on edge.
