Mark Warburton’s Glasgow Rangers will be in action in the Scottish League Cup today.
Chris Sutton has suggested in The Daily Record that Rangers fans will not accept another heavy defeat to Celtic.
Rangers will take on Old Firm rivals Celtic at Hampden Park in Glasgow in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup on Sunday afternoon.
The Gers and the Hoops have faced each other already this season – in the Scottish Premiership last month.
Celtic hammered Rangers 5-1 at Celtic Park in what was a hugely embarrassing defeat for the Gers.
Former Celtic striker Sutton has warned that Rangers fans will not accept if Warburton’s side make the same mistakes they did last month and suffer yet another heavy defeat.
“The manager tells his centre-halves to split when Wes Foderingham gives the ball to Halliday, while James Tavernier and Lee Wallace are urged to push right up,” Sutton wrote in The Daily Record.
“If Gers give it away, as they did when Moussa Dembele scored Celtic’s second goal last month, it leaves the pair exposed to one-on-ones. It’s asking them to do things which may be beyond them.
“If those same mistakes are made and it resulted in another battering, I don’t believe the Rangers fans would accept that from their manager.”
Rangers will have learned from the mistake they made last month, and it is hard to see the Gers suffer yet another heavy defeat to Celtic on Sunday afternoon.
Warburton is a good manager, and he will have surely have thought of a plan to make sure that the Bhoys are not as dominate as they were at Celtic Park last month.
The Gers are in good form at the moment and have won their last two Scottish Premiership games.
