Ibrox outfit Glasgow Rangers will face Old Firm rivals Celtic at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.
Celtic continued their good run of form at the weekend. The Bhoys got the better of St. Mirren 4-1 at Celtic Park in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup on Sunday afternoon.
It was supposed to be a straightforward and easy win for Celtic, but the Glasgow giants were given an early scare.
St. Mirren took the lead through Harry Davis after just 13 minutes, but the Bhoys staged a successful comeback in the second half.
Mikael Lustig, Scott Sinclair, Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths scored in the second period to secure a 4-1 victory for the Hoops.
After the match, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers claimed that St. Mirren are the best Scottish side they have faced this season.
“St Mirren are at the bottom of the Championship, but they are the best team we have played domestically,” Rodgers told BBC Sport. “They are well organised.”
Lesson for Rangers?
Rangers should learn from St. Mirren and play the way they did against Celtic this coming weekend.
The Gers will take on Old Firm rivals Celtic away from home at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon.
The Bhoys will head into the match as favourites, but if Rangers play the way St. Mirren did in the first half, then there is a chance that they could pick up all three points from the encounter in Glasgow.
