Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are set to take on Celtic again on Saturday.
Pedro Caixinha has told the Telegraph that he respects Celtic midfielder Scott Brown’s comments about his Glasgow Rangers side.
Celtic beat Rangers 2-0 at Hampden Park last weekend, and Brown was scathing with his criticism of the Bhoys’ Glasgow rivals.
Brown claimed that Rangers lacked the legs and quality that Celtic had.
But Caixinha would not be drawn into a war of words with the Celtic captain, when asked about the disparaging remarks at his latest press conference.
“It’s an opinion from an opposing player who had a good game in which we allowed him to play the way he wants to play,” the Portuguese boss said. “I respect all opinions.”
Rangers are set to take on Celtic again on Saturday, and will need a much improved performance if they are to pick up the three points.
The Light Blues were strangely off the pace at Hampden Park, and never really threatened Celtic.
However, they will be expected to put up more of a challenge in front of their own fans at Ibrox.
Rangers and Celtic have met five times so far this season, and Brendan Rodgers’ men are still yet to be beaten by their city rivals.
