Celtic head into the last Glasgow derby of the season looking to make up for what was a poor performance the last time the teams met at Ibrox.
Celtic lost 1-0, and Hoops skipper Scott Brown didn’t have the best of days. He found himself dominated in the middle of the park, as the Hoops slumped to defeat.
Brown will be desperate to make amends for that performance, even if they upcoming game at Ibrox is a dead rubber.
Keep cool under pressure
However, for the Hoops to triumph on the day, the Hoops captain will need to keep his cool. There’s no doubt Brown will be targeted for the fans’ ire at Ibrox on Sunday.
The events after the last derby will ensure that he isn’t the most popular man at the stadium. However, he cannot let that affect his game.
Must get on with the game
The same goes for if he is the recipient of a bad challenge. He should just pick himself up and get on with the game.
Brown not reacting will serve him better than getting involved in any petty squabbles. The Hoops captain is a vastly experienced player.
He will know what is required on the day. That is to keep a cool head, and not to get involved in situations which could see Brown getting sent-off.
Should Brown keep his cool and do what is required, the Hoops could well make up for December’s disappointment at Ibrox.
