Aiden McGeady believes that it is crucial for Rangers to take the initiative in the Glasgow Derby against Celtic in order to maintain their chances of winning the title. However, the former Republic of Ireland international winger acknowledges that Celtic has recently turned their season around and is currently performing at their best.
Speaking on the Scottish Football podcast, McGeady stated, “This season has been quite unpredictable for Celtic, but they have managed to improve their form in recent times.” He further added, “There were concerns about their style of play, the manager, and the formation, but in the last game against Rangers, you could see the momentum shifting towards Celtic in the title race. For Celtic, the upcoming game on Saturday is a must-not-lose match, whereas for Rangers, it is a must-win.”
McGeady emphasized the significance of the game, stating, “If Celtic wins, it will be an uphill battle for Rangers, with only two games remaining and a six-point difference, which effectively becomes seven points when considering the goal difference. It is a monumental occasion. Celtic has experienced similar situations many times before, with this squad and manager, but for Rangers, it is a new experience for many players.”
He concluded by highlighting the responsibility on Rangers to strive for victory, while Celtic will approach the game calmly and composed, drawing from their past experiences. McGeady expressed his anticipation for an exceptional match, stating, “It has all the ingredients to be a fantastic game.”
McGeady also identified Kyogo as a crucial player for Celtic in the highly anticipated match tomorrow, stating, “Kyogo will play a significant role in the game. I would be very surprised if he is not a key figure by the end of the match on Saturday.”
