Celtic take on Mark Warburton’s Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers on Saturday.
Rangers legend Andy Goram has guaranteed via Sky Sports that Saturday’s Old Firm clash at Celtic will not be a nil-nil, and admitted that he thought Leigh Griffiths would flop with the Hoops.
Parkhead plays host this weekend as the bitter Glasgow rivals square off in what will be the first league meeting between the pair since 2012.
Neither side has lost a Premiership game as of yet, but both have conceded four goals in as many games, and Goram, who spent seven years at Rangers, predicts that both sets of fans will see some goals at a bare minimum.
“You are only as good as what’s in front of you,” he said to Sky Sports.
“If you have rubbish in front of you then you are up against it and if you have good players in front of you you’re OK. I can guarantee it won’t be a nil-nil.”
The obvious danger man for Celtic is Leigh Griffiths, who netted 40 times in all competitions last term – and has two in three league games so far this season.
The 26-year-old joined Celtic from Wolves in 2014, after a loan spell with Hibernian, but Goram has admitted that he did not expect the Scottish hitman to prove himself successful with the Bhoys.
“He has surpassed my expectations,” added the 52-year-old. “I didn’t think he would do well at Celtic when he first signed.
“I thought he would struggle but I tip my hat to him. What an amazing job he has done for Celtic.”
For Rangers, manager Mark Warburton will be sweating on the fitness of star striker Martyn Waghorn, but the former Wigan man featured in the 7-0 friendly win over Linfield this past weekend – his first outing after a hamstring injury – so he may have a part to play on Saturday.
