Celtic will have captain Scott Brown available to face Rangers.
Celtic captain Scott Brown will be free to face Rangers after having his disciplinary hearing moved forward at his request.
If charged against him are upheld, his two match ban will not impact the Rangers game at Ibrox, STV report.
There has been some upset about this, notably from ex-Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam describing it as a ‘shambles’.
Well the only shambles is the SFA allowing it to drag out so long in the first place.
Rangers should appreciate the fact that Brown will be available.
The Gers should want to face Celtic at their best. A win against Celtic without Brown would be tarnished, no matter how it is dressed up.
A victory over Celtic without Brown would be seen by some as a cheap win, one which proves nothing.
It would prove nothing to Rangers first and foremost. They need to learn how to play against Brown and not get wound up.
If they can learn how do to it in May, then next season, it will not be so much of an issue.
