Andy Walker makes bold Glasgow Derby prediction

Celtic take on theRangers at Celtic Park this lunchtime with the Champions looking to draw level with Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership and open a five points advantage over today’s visitors.

Many folk are predicting a big Celtic win today which would be nice but a hard fought 1-0 win would be more than enough for Brendan Rodgers.

As Ordinary Bhoy pointed out this morning the pressure is on Celtic as overwhelming favourites and Philippe Clement will have his own game-plan to frustrate Celtic and the 60,000 Celtic supporters at the match.

Andy Walker is one pundit who is expecting Celtic to blow theRangers away with a big win. The former Celtic striker told The Go Radio Football Show that he reckons today will be a great day for the Celtic supporters who always relish a victory over an Ibrox club.

“Normally, you look at it and you wonder who will win. It’s normally pretty tight and if you’re tipping someone, it’s by a goal. I think Celtic can win this by three goals,” Walker predicted.

“I think they can win it comfortably. I’m going to go 3-0 Celtic.”

Walker reckons that Clement has not been allowed to bring in the players required to properly compete with Celtic this season and today they’ll pay the price for that.

“We’ve been saying it for a number of months now. They need better players and when I look at this lineup that Rangers have got I think it is important for the manager as well to be able to put something together to show that he can come up with a big performance.

“Some big players playing on the big occasion. Rangers, if you offered them a draw, they would take it right now.

“I cannot make a case for Rangers winning at Parkhead.”

Hopefully Andy Walker has got this assessment spot on. 3-0 really would make it a Beautiful Sunday!
