Rangers’ Four-Game Winning Run Faces Huge Celtic Test at Ibrox
Rangers are heading into their first Old Firm clash of the season with momentum finally building under Derek McInnes.
Rangers have won their last four Scottish Premiership matches, recovering strongly after their disappointing start to the campaign. Their latest victory came against St Mirren, with Bojan Miovski scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner.
But the challenge on Sunday is significantly tougher.
Celtic arrive at Ibrox having won all six of their league matches, putting them in a perfect position domestically and creating a huge test for McInnes.
The match is even more important because it is a League Cup quarter-final, meaning the loser will immediately lose a route to silverware.
There will also be an unusual atmosphere because away supporters have been banned from Old Firm Premiership and League Cup matches this season following previous crowd trouble.
That means Ibrox will be packed exclusively with Rangers supporters, increasing the pressure on Celtic while giving McInnes’ players a potentially enormous home advantage.
Rangers have finally started producing results, but Celtic’s perfect league record means Sunday’s showdown could reveal whether McInnes has genuinely turned the club’s season
n around.
