Celtic winger James Forrest has admitted to The Scottish Sun it will not be easy to win against Rangers at Ibrox this month.

Brendan Rodgers’s side will take on Old Firm rivals Rangers away from home at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on March 11.

Forrest has admitted that it will not be easy for the Hoops to win against the Gers, but the 26-year-old Scotland international winger has warned Graeme Murty’s side that he wants to score, just like his brother Alan Forrest did for Ayr United.

“It will be a hard game,” Forrest told The Scottish Sun. “They have being doing well since the break.

“It’s always a tough game whenever we go to Ibrox so we know it will be the case when it comes around.”

Forrest added: “I would love to score. My brother tells me he’s now scored against them twice so hopefully I can peg him back.”

Could Rangers win against Celtic?

Celtic have the best squad in Scotland and are in good form in the Scottish Premiership at the moment, but Rangers are in great form as well.

The Gers will know that winning against the Hoops at Ibrox will mean that the title challenge will be back on, and the players will be determined to put on a show.

If Rangers manage to score first, then they could make it tough for Celtic to pick up all three points from the Old Firm derby.

What Murty’s side need to do is keep their calm and keep it tight at the back against a very attack-minded Celtic team.
