In the build-up to the highly anticipated Old Firm showdown between Rangers and Celtic, the football community is buzzing with excitement. The stakes are high as both teams prepare to face off at Parkhead on Saturday (30 December), and former Celtic captain Scott Brown has stirred the pot with a bold prediction.
Brown, who exuded confidence, stated that he believes Brendan Rodgers’ side will secure all three points in the upcoming clash. This declaration has not been well-received by Rangers fans, who have taken to social media to criticize the Celtic hero, labeling his prediction as “wild” and questioning his judgment.
The first Old Firm encounter of the season saw Rangers succumbing to a 1-0 defeat at Ibrox, with Kyogo Furuhashi‘s second-half goal proving to be the decisive factor. However, with a new-look Rangers under the undefeated Philippe Clement, the dynamics of the rivalry have shifted.
Celtic’s recent resurgence, marked by two clean sheets and convincing victories over Livingston and Dundee, has added fuel to the anticipation of the upcoming clash. The return of Cameron Carter-Vickers, a key defensive presence, is eagerly awaited by Brendan Rodgers, who sees him as a difference-maker.
As Rangers aim to close the five-point gap between them and league leaders Celtic, the Old Firm clash takes on added significance. The Ibrox faithful are eager to witness a different outcome this time, and the confident prediction from Scott Brown has only intensified the rivalry.
With emotions running high and both teams seeking crucial points in the title race, the Old Firm clash promises to deliver a thrilling spectacle. Football enthusiasts can expect an electric atmosphere at Parkhead as Rangers and Celtic lock horns in a match that could shape the trajectory of the Scottish Premiership title race.
