Pedro Caixinha’s Glasgow Rangers will take on Old Firm rivals and Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
Paul Elliott has told BBC Sport that Celtic will not lose against Rangers this weekend.
Celtic will take on Old Firm rivals Rangers away from home at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
Elliott, who was on the books of the Hoops from 1989 until 1991, does not expect Brendan Rodgers’s side to drop all three points.
The 53-year-old former Aston Villa and Chelsea defender has suggested that Rangers would be happy with a point.
“I don’t think Celtic will get beaten,” Elliott told BBC Sport. “If you gave Rangers a draw now they might take it.
“But I think it’s a game in which Rangers need to go on the offensive. They need to put a marker down for the season.
“And I think if Rangers were bold, were brave, took the initiative… I think ‘no risk, no reward’ in football.”
Celtic are in better form than Rangers at the moment and are still unbeaten in Scotland this season.
Playing at home will give the Gers an advantage, but given the quality of players and their strength, the Hoops should be able to pick up at least a point from the Old Firm derby at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 16 points from six matches, while Rangers are five points behind them in third spot.
