Although he doubts Rangers have enough characters in their roster, Neil McCann believes the team has a strong chance of defeating rivals Celtic.
With the countdown to their thrilling top-of-the-table matchup at Parkhead fast approaching, Brendan Rodgers and Philippe Clement have finished their preparations and media obligations this week.
The Hoops are currently leading the game by three points and have a better goal differential. A victory at home would virtually guarantee Celtic the title, while a victory away will leave the two teams tied for first place with two games remaining.
Former Rangers winger McCann thinks his old team needs to perform better than they did in their last games if they want to leave Glasgow’s east end with as many points as possible.
He has advised the 11 players that Clement selects right away that they must possess minerals and demonstrate that they have much more than just skill in their lockers.
The commentator is well aware that his former employers must defeat their opponents in their own backyard in order to have a realistic chance at league success, therefore it should be an exciting 90 minutes at Celtic Park.
“I think they have to go to Celtic Park looking to win the game,” McCann stated in an interview with Go Radio. After Celtic’s match against the Rangers, they must naturally travel to Kilmarnock, which promises to be an extremely difficult match.
Kilmarnock has performed admirably this season against both Old Firm, but especially against Celtic, who they lost to at home to St Mirren in their last encounter.
“The Rangers need to go there and achieve something that I don’t think many people think they are capable of if they want to win the title.
They have a fighting chance, in my opinion, but they need to demonstrate more than what they have lately. Although skill is always required in this game, character is just as important, therefore I’m wondering if the Rangers have enough of them on their roster.
But a significant number of the starting eleven, in particular, must bring a lot of minerals to Celtic Park and demonstrate that they are more than just talented players.
“There are instances, I believe, especially in the last few weeks, when it is extremely crucial to avoid mistakes and give your major opponent any advantages.
The way you approach the game is what matters, and I believe there are one or two players who haven’t given it their all.”
