Ally McCoist kickstarts talkSPORT show with Rangers nerves v Celtic
Ally McCoist has admitted his nerves ahead of Rangers’ clash with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon.
The Bears can go level on points with their Old Firm rivals at the top of the league with a big win at Ibrox.
McCoist insisted that Rangers cannot afford to lose to their bitter rivals if they want to lift the Scottish Premiership.
Speaking live on talkSPORT this morning [30 March, 06:05 am], McCoist kickstarted the show with his preview.
“I’m nervous,” he said. “It’s just a big Celtic game. – you always feel that way around Wednesday.
“Nothing between them at this moment in time, Celtic top of the league, I don’t think it’s a game Rangers can afford to be beaten in.”
Nerves.
This is just natural, with such big implications on this game.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be welcoming back his international players in the next couple of days, and hopefully, they are all at 100% with no injuries.
Our Nigerian trio all played on Tuesday evening and will be using today as travel to get back to Auchenhowie for assessment.
They are the furthest away, with Alfredo Morelos returning back from South America early as a big injury doubt.
Should the Bufalo be missing with that problem, it would be a huge blow, it would also make allowing him to travel in the first place simply ludicrous.
It was never a good idea, and him missing out would surely lower our chances of picking up the win significantly, making us all that little more nervous.
