There’s a whole host of Rangers fans here in the Transfer Tavern, calming their nerves before Celtic’s visit to Ibrox in just a few hours.
Indeed, with the Bhoys in such good form this season, our local Light Blues are slightly nervous about their chances, particularly after a mixed start under Pedro Caixinha.
So, comments posted on BBC Sport’s match preview in regards to some early team news have helped settle some nerves.
They suggest Caixinha could welcome Wes Foderingham and Kenny Miller back into the starting XI after resting the duo against Patrick Thistle in the cup. With both players one of few men to have been on the winning side of an Old Firm in the famous blue strip of Rangers, this has been seen as good news by the punters propping up our bar.
”Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha is likely to play Wes Foderingham in goal and veteran striker Kenny Miller could also start after both men were rested for Tuesday’s win over Partick Thistle”, they write.
As you can imagine, this news has been celebrated in the bar this morning, though it’ll be interesting to see what the mood is like in a few hours.
Landlord’s Verdict:
The duo’s experience could prove vital at Ibrox this afternoon amid a team wholly new to life in Scotland. Both know what it takes to beat Celtic, much to the delight of our punters.
Thoughts?
