Celtic will be going into one of the most important games of their season, as they get ready to face the Rangers at Hampden Park in the final of the Scottish League Cup. A lot will be riding on this match. Not only is silverware up for grabs, but there is also the added pressure of it being a Glasgow Derby. And winning it will keep the Hoops’ hopes of a treble alive.
On the other hand, the Rangers have shown significant improvement since the arrival of Michael Beale as manager. And winning the Scottish League Cup will send a message to their fanbase, that he is the right man for the Ibrox job.
Celtic must prepare for the best version of the Rangers. Because the only game that they have not won since the appointment of Beale was the 2-2 draw in the last Glasgow Derby, at Ibrox.
Green Brigade seem to have their plans to back the Bhoys at Hampden Park as well. They have announced that a tifo has been prepared and fans in the East Stand will find the materials at their seats.
Green Brigade make announcement before Celtic vs Rangers
The fans will certainly have to play the part of 12th man on Sunday. This is expected to be a close game between the two best teams in Scotland.
Celtic have only lost one Glasgow Derby over the past year. But they cannot make the mistake of taking the Rangers lightly.
Incidentally, that loss came at Hampden Park, when the two teams met in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup. Thus, Ange Postecoglou’s side will have a point to prove on Sunday as well. No matter what happens, this is a team that the fans can be proud of, and they will surely give it their all when they take to the pitch.
