Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are set to take on Celtic on Saturday.

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha is seen prior to the Betfred League Cup Quarter Final at Firhill Stadium on September 19, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Pedro Caixinha has predicted that Celtic will try and rile Alfredo Morelos… and he has urged the striker to calm his temperament.

Morelos has shown a fiery streak to his game since arriving at Ibrox in the summer, and it is sure to be tested in the Old-Firm derby.

And Caixinha has urged Morelos to keep his composure, as Rangers simply cannot afford any moments of ill-discipline on Saturday.

Morelos has already become Rangers’ main scoring hope, after netting six times in his first six Scottish Premiership appearances.

The Colombian’s combination of pace and power and caused defences across the division a great deal of problems.

Celtic have so far been untroubled by Rangers since Rodgers took charge, and went unbeaten through matches against their Glasgow rivals last term.

But Rangers have shown some signs of improvement, and there is some optimism that Caixinha’s men could cause the Bhoys some problems.

If Rangers are able to beat Celtic at the weekend, they will close the gap between the two sides down to just two points.
