CELTIC LEGEND Chris Sutton believes that the narrative The Rangers have nothing to lose in the Glasgow Derby will suit the Hoops and how they like to play.
Sutton believes that Beale will set his team up to have a good go at it, as they need to prove a point with nothing to lose if Celtic do pick up the three points.
Naturally, they’ll leave plenty of space in behind for Celtic to exploit, something the team will have a lot of joy in as they attack with high intensity.
Writing in the Daily Record, Celtic hero Chris Sutton explained:
“But this is his acid tactical test. He failed it at Hampden. He got it wrong on the day and Postecoglou’s men spent the first half an hour meticulously working out the failing strategy before ripping it apart and securing the trophy.
“Beale’s team could easily lose again. But he can’t fail the tactical test again or questions will be asked.
“How does he find the formula to get after Celtic without exposing a backline which has been destroyed plenty at Parkhead by Postecoglou’s rapid raiders.
“It comes down to one key facet. Is the Rangers press going to be better than Celtic’s build up play? If it’s not, then they could be in a lot of bother.
“Rangers have to be brave and bold if they want to win this game, but that comes with an extremely high element of risk.
“As I said, Celtic are at their best when there’s space to exploit and Rangers won’t want to get humiliated.”
Celtic will be looking for another fast start on Saturday. In the last five derbies, Celtic have scored first, scoring in their last seven.
It’s become quite a common sight to see Celtic a few goals up by halftime, with fans hoping they will see something similar on Saturday.
