Former Celtic captain Scott Brown believes victory over Rangers on Sunday could significantly change the outlook for the Scottish champions following a turbulent week for Martin O’Neill’s side.
Celtic are set to face Rangers in the latest meeting between the two clubs, with Brown describing a potential win as something that would “change the game”. His comments highlight the importance attached to the fixture after the difficult period surrounding O’Neill’s team.
The supplied information does not detail the events behind Celtic’s turbulent week, nor does it provide information about the teams’ current positions, previous results or the location of Sunday’s match. It does, however, indicate that Rangers have held the upper hand in recent derby meetings, raising the question of whether Celtic can begin to reverse that dominance.
Brown, who previously captained Celtic, has therefore identified the match as a potentially important moment for O’Neill’s side. A victory would carry significance beyond the immediate result, according to his assessment, although the eventual impact will depend on what happens during the game.
The latest available information is that Celtic and Rangers are due to meet on Sunday. No result or further reaction is provided.
