Celtic central midfielder Callum McGregor has told The Scottish Sun that Rangers are under pressure to win the Old Firm derby at Ibrox this weekend.

Rangers will take on Celtic at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon.

Steven Gerrard’s side have already secured the runners-up spot in the league table this season, while the Hoops have clinched the title – their eighth in a row.

Celtic star McGregor has explained why Rangers are under pressure, suggesting that the players have to give their fans something to cheer about and has pointed out that the trophies the Hoops have won.

McGregor told The Scottish Sun: “There is always a bit of spice in the fixture. It’s good we are going there as champions, full of confidence and playing well.

“The pressure is on them. They have to come and give their fans something to cheer about.

“We’ve won the League Cup, won the league and are in another Scottish Cup Final. All the pressure is on them.”

Disappointing season?

Rangers played in the group stage of the Europa League this season and did appear to run Celtic close around Christmas time, but since the turn of the year, Celtic have galloped ahead.

A win against Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday will boost Rangers’ confidence, and will enable the players to think that they can challenge the Hoops next season.

However, if Neil Lennon’s side pick up all three points from the encounter at Ibrox, then it is going to be a massive blow to Rangers.
