Rangers take on Celtic at Parkhead tonight, and Bhoys defender Josip Juranovic has made it clear that he isn’t impressed by the signing of Aaron Ramsey.

The Gers grabbed headlines on deadline day by managing to pull off a stunning to bring Ramsey to Ibrox.

Rangers somehow pulled off a deal to sign Ramsey on loan for the rest of the season, with the chance for a permanent stay.

Ramsey is a huge name and many expected him to return to the Premier League if he was to leave Juventus in January.

With just three league appearances this season, Ramsey simply had to leave Juventus and play first-team football elsewhere.

Rangers have now secured Ramsey for the foreseeable future, with many believing that he can help the Gers win the title.

Rangers take on Celtic tonight and will be looking for a major statement win, though Ramsey is unlikely to be involved.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has indicated that it’s too soon for Ramsey to be involved given his lack of match fitness.

Still, this signing has boosted the blue side of Glasgow, providing the ideal tonic after the frustrating 3-3 draw at Ross County.

Whilst all the talk is about how Rangers have improved with the signing of Ramsey, Celtic don’t seem all that fussed.

Celtic defender Josip Juranovic has now offered his take on the Ramsey signing and isn’t about to praise Rangers.

Juranovic has told The Scottish Sun that he thinks Ramsey’s signing is ‘nothing special’ and hardly comparable to signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Croatian added that Celtic are just focusing on themselves given how many good players are at their disposal.

“It’s just Ramsey. It is nothing special,” said Juranovic. “If you have, say, Cristiano Ronaldo in the team and the team is not going well, it’s not just one player who will change the game, you need to play all 11. We have really quality players here — and we need to watch ourselves,” he added.
