Celtic play host to Rangers in the Old Firm Derby at Parkhead tomorrow.
Hoops ace Craig Gordon sat down for an exclusive interview with the club’s official website, and outlined how his side need to play, if they are to beat Rangers in the Old Firm Derby at Parkhead tomorrow.
Celtic currently sit comfortably at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, eight points clear of second placed Aberdeen, and a further three clear of their bitter rivals Rangers.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have not been invincible this season, however, having lost to Hearts two weeks ago, and Gers fans will be hoping that their side can fire their way back into contention for the league title with a victory at Parkhead.
Gordon spoke to the club’s official website ahead of tomorrow’s vitally important clash, and outlined how his side need to approach the match, if they are to emerge victorious:
“We need to be aggressive and win the battle if we’re going to get the chance to play football. You have to fight for your right to play football. We know we have to go in there and be strong and physical. That’s what a derby game is always going to entail. We always have to be ready to face that and to play football and let our qualities come through because that’s how we’re going to win the game.”
Old Firm Derbies are notoriously physical encounters, and both sides will surely head into the game full of aggression and commitment.
It might just be more important, however, for the players to remain calm and calculated, and whichever clubs maintain’s their composure the most will likely end the match victorious.
