Hugh Keevins shares 'shocked' Rangers fans claim in result prediction vs Celtic
The Gers have found stability under Derek McInnes in recent weeks, while Martin O'Neill looks flustered at the Hoops after a run of poor results.
Despite a strong start to the season at Parkhead, the Northern Irish manager is under some pressure after back-to-back losses to the Light Blues and Ferencvaros.
O'Neill had no answers for McInnes' game plan at Ibrox, and just a week later, Celtic have to contend with another Old Firm derby.
The mood around G51 has gotten better after winning five games in a row.
On the other side of Glasgow, prospects look bleak and Parkhead could potentially witness another disastrous display on 20 September.
What majority of Rangers fans will think about Celtic game
McInnes completely dismantled Celtic with his tactics at Ibrox in the 3-0 victory.
O'Neill was left scratching his head on the sidelines in Govan, wondering what had gone wrong as Dan Neil got a brace and Kevin Kelsy scored the second.
The Hoops couldn't wait for the final whistle in the previous Old Firm derby and the scars from that defeat will still be fresh.
While a wounded Celtic would be a dangerous prospect for the Gers, their 3-1 home loss to Ferencvaros suggests they've been absolutely rattled.
Given the manner of the Hoops' defeat just a week ago at Ibrox, fans in G51 have every right to be confident for the game at Parkhead.
Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard on 18 September, Hugh Keevins said, "The last meeting of the two teams being only a week ago and one team having dominated the other to the extent to which Rangers did, I think the Rangers supporters, a vast majority, 90 plus per cent, would be shocked if their team didn't win at Celtic Park.
"Having watched Celtic in the last two games, every Celtic fan who has come on tonight has said, 'Not looking forward to Sunday.'"
Why Derek McInnes has edge over Martin O'Neill in William Hill Premiership
No Rangers fan was happy to see Rangers get knocked out of Europe early on in the season, but it may be a blessing in disguise.
Celtic have to contend with tough European fixtures at least until January, while McInnes can fully focus on the Gers' domestic affairs.
While five points separate the two Old Firm rivals at the top of the William Hill Premiership, there's no reason why the Light Blues can't take the lead before the end of the year.
McInnes has vast league experience, and unlike Danny Rohl, the Scottish manager should be able to guide the Govan side to the title if they're near the top of the table ahead of the split.
