Celtic and Rangers will lock horns again next month for the final Old Firm game of the season.
Celtic ace Callum McGregor has brutally mocked Rangers by claiming that his team keep their ‘cool’ during crunch situations, whilst their rivals ‘maybe get a player sent off’.
The 25-year-old is seemingly talking about Steven Gerrard’s side who had Alfredo Morelos sent off during the previous Old Firm game last month which they lost 2-1.
Following that encounter last month, it is now a matter of time before Celtic secure their eighth consecutive Scottish Premiership title in a row.
McGregor, who has played a big part in the Bhoys success in recent years, spoke about why his team can cope with pressure situations and the ‘other team’ can’t.
“It helps we’ve been in that position so many times now in the last few years,” said McGregor, as quoted by the Daily Record.
“You just become experienced in those moments when the game is on a knife-edge. We manage to keep our cool and the other team will maybe get a player sent off, then they have to change their game plan and we come alive.
“It’s as much about keeping your temperament as it is about trying to play your football and score goals and all these sorts of things. That experience helps us as we have been there so often – You just learn by experience to keep calm and now the new manager has come in and kept that same message.”
Even though the Scottish Premiership is about to be wrapped up, there is still one more Old Firm match to be played before the season draws to a close.
There is no doubt that Rangers will want to get revenge for the previous defeat and repeat their last win against Celtic at Ibrox, which occurred before the turn of the year.
The Glasgow duo are set to meet on 12th May and if it is anything like the previous encounter at Parkhead then it will be filled with drama from the get-go.
