Rangers host Celtic this weekend.
Rangers midfielder Ross McCrorie has told the Daily Record they will not obsess over stopping Celtic ahead of this weekend’s Old Firm clash.
The Gers have not beaten Celtic since returning to the Premiership in 2016, and have been on the wrong end of some heavy scorelines.
There is fresh hope, as this is the first Old Firm game at Ibrox under new Rangers manager Steven Gerrard.
McCrorie says Rangers are determined to play their own game, and are not changing their normal approach.
He said: “Injuries are not an excuse. We have a good enough squad to put on a show and a performance.
“We’ll do our analysis on Celtic, but are going out to play our own game and focus on ourselves.”
Rangers are in mixed form ahead of the game, having twice reached the top of the table this month, and then squandered the initiative. The latest was a 1-1 draw with Hibernian.
Celtic have a three point gap on Rangers and a game in hand. For the Gers this is a game they simply have to win.
McCrorie has a point to prove too. He was sent off in the Scottish Cup semi-final between the two teams in April, and will be determined to redeem himself on the big stage.
