Uche Ikpeazu has told The Edinburgh Evening News that Heart of Midlothian can win against Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers in comments which will surely delight Celtic fans.

Rangers will take on Hearts away from home in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon.

The Gers have slipped down to second in the league table following the win for bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic on Saturday afternoon.

Rangers will head into the match against Hearts as favourites, but the home team’s striker Ikpeazu is confident that they can get a result.

Interestingly, the 24-year-old striker has been linked with a move to Celtic, with West London Sport claiming that the Hoops have been showing interest in the former Watford prospect.

Ikpeazu told The Edinburgh Evening News: “This will be tougher than the other home games we’ve had because Rangers are a better team but I do think we’ve got the ability to do well against any opposition, which we’ve proven at times this season. We need everybody to be at the top of their game though.”

Doing Celtic a favour

Ikpeazu is a very good striker, although he is not very prolific, he can score some very important goals.

Scoring against Rangers and winning the game will certainly endear Ikpeazu to the Celtic fans, and will give the Hoops a very strong reason to continue to monitor him and follow him.
