Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are taking on Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
Celtic fans believe that Glasgow Rangers boss Graeme Murty has done Brendan Rodgers’ team-talk for him, ahead of the upcoming Old-Firm clash in the Scottish Cup.
Rangers and Celtic are set to come up against each other in the semi-final of the cup competition.
And Murty has revealed that his Rangers players cheered when they heard that they were set to come up against Celtic.
He said to the Daily Record: “I called it, sitting in the Sky studio, but apparently the sound that came out of our changing room when the draw came through was raucous and loud.
“I think that is indicative of where the squad are, they’re flowing with confidence just now. They want to get into the games against Celtic and they’re going to relish the challenge.
“It’s a really good marker for looking at a team who want to get into that game and really go and mix it up.”
Bhoys fans now feel that Rangers’ celebrations have been premature, and that Rodgers can simply use their reaction as motivation for his side.
Due to the cup draw, Celtic and Rangers are now due to twice in quick succession.
Murty’s and Rodgers’ side’s will clash this weekend in league action, in what looks to be one of the most important Old-Firm derbies in recent memory.
If Rangers are able to beat Celtic they will really put pressure on the league leaders.
However, a victory for the Bhoys would extend their advantage to nine points, and almost wrap up their seventh league title in a row.
