In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Glasgow Derby between Celtic and Rangers, Brendan Rodgers finds himself in a position of strength against his rivals. With the absence of away fans expected to create a fierce atmosphere for Philippe Clement’s team in the final SPFL derby of the season, former Rangers player and current Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd is concerned about the quality of players at Rodgers’ disposal.
Boyd is less focused on predicting the outcome of the derby and more worried about whether Rangers’ players can match the performance levels of Celtic’s key players. He highlights the recent standout performances of Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley, and Kyogo Furuhashi, as well as the improvements shown by Liam Scales and the defensive stability provided by Cameron Carter-Vickers.
As goalkeeper Joe Hart continues to make crucial saves, Celtic is hitting their peak form at a crucial juncture in the season. Boyd’s unease about Celtic’s impressive performances at this pivotal stage of the competition is a reflection of the dominance that Rodgers’ team has established over their rivals.
