The one Rangers statistic that Derek McInnes needs to improve in Celtic rematch
The Gers utterly dominated their bitter rivals at Ibrox, and sent themselves into the semi-finals of a competition they will want to go on and win.
Derek McInnes got his tactics absolutely spot on, and ultimately Celtic failed to land a jab, nevermind a blow to the Ibrox outfit.
However, McInnes will know that things may very well be different this weekend when the Old Firm returns just a week later.
This time, Rangers will have to face the Celtic Park crowd alone, rather than having 51,000 Bears supporters behind them.
And that means the Rangers manager will have decisions to make in the lead-up, with one in particular jumping out.
Why Rangers must start cautiously against Celtic
Rangers recently saw the benefits of home advantage and the racuous Ibrox crowd certainly helped.
Well, Rangers can still inflict the same damage against Celtic if McInnes can get his team to be more relaxed off the ball.
This season, as per Sofascore, Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership for fouls committed with 13 per game.
Keeping that trend going at Celtic Park would be an unnecessary risk as each foul could rile up the crowd.
Of course, fouls are an unavoidable aspect of football, but until the Gers can get a grasp and control of the game, they should look to limit them as much as possible.
Why Djeidi Gassama could help Rangers do the opposite against Celtic
While Rangers will want to limit their early fouls as much as possible, Djeidi Gassama could be key in earning them for Rangers.
The Mauritanian winger is second in the Scottish top flight for fouls won with a total of 17.
If Gassama can pick up some fouls to ease any pressure from Rangers, that could frustrate the home crowd and ultimately negate any advantage.
His ability to draw Celtic players in could also be a valuable tool for McInnes in being able to control the tempo of the game.
Rangers should not go to Celtic Park with fear as they have shown they can play them off the park.
Getting control of the game would show that fearlessness.
If Rangers can impose their style rather than simply reacting to Celtic, they will give themselves a much better chance of producing another dominant performance.
