Scott Sinclair has told the Glasgow Evening Times that he is expecting Celtic’s players to receive a lot of abuse at Ibrox from Glasgow Rangers supporters… but he insists that they won’t be fazed.

Celtic are set to take on Rangers tomorrow in the first Old-Firm derby of the season, and it is all set to be a hugely interesting clash between the rivals.

Celtic are yet to lose a match against their Glasgow neighbours since Brendan Rodgers took charge at Parkhead.

And Sinclair is relishing the prospect of taking on Rangers again, as he loves playing in the fiercely contested fixtures.

He said: “They are just great games to play in. They are massive games and it is one of the biggest up here so it is amazing.

“All our fans will be right behind us. I am sure their fans will give us some stick but we will deal with it and get on with it.

“All our confidence is high going into Saturday’s game. We just need to go out there and do it again.”

Sinclair has proved a problem for Rangers to deal with before, and the attacker has a very strong record in Old-Firm derbies.

Celtic will be looking to use the England international as one of their most prominent attacking weapons on Saturday, when the two sides meet, and Rangers will have to be on their guard to protect against his pace.

If Celtic are able to win at Ibrox, they will put an eight point gap between themselves at Rangers at this early stage of the season.
