Rangers boss Steven Gerrard spoke to reporters ahead of his side’s huge clash with Celtic at Ibrox tomorrow, and urged the club’s fans to ‘take the roof off’ of the stadium, as quoted by Sky Sports.

The Gers head into tomorrow’s game in second spot in the Scottish Premiership table, three points adrift of league leaders Celtic, and Gerrard will be desperate for his team to head into the winter break level on points with their bitter rivals.

Rangers have undoubtedly improved under Gerrard, but they still have a long way to go, if they are to really push the Hoops all the way this season.

Ibrox is a notoriously loud venue, and when the Rangers fans are in full voice, there are not many better atmospheres in world football.

Gerrard explained how he expects the Gers faithful to be right behind their team against Celtic tomorrow, asking them to ‘take the roof off’ of Ibrox, as quoted by Sky Sports:

“There’s no doubt about it, the atmosphere will be electric tomorrow. We need our fans right behind us, we want them to push us all the way. We want them to take the roof off.”

Rangers have only lost one league game all season at Ibrox, and they will have to be on their very best form if they are to keep it that way heading into the winter break.

Celtic have won their last four visits to Rangers’ home, however, so Brendan Rodgers’ side will be be confident of taking all three points from Gerrard’s men.
