CELTIC BOSS Ange Postecoglou has laughed off the Ibrox manager’s claim that the referee and his assistants will be heavily influenced by the home support during Saturday’s Glasgow derby match.
With Celtic currently nine points clear of their rivals, a win for the home side would see them take one step closer to being crowned champions.
Celtic were keen to see the return of bigger away allocations and took the all-or-nothing approach, but The Rangers refused to negotiate, leading to Celtic deciding against away fans.
Similar to the 3-0 game last season, everyone in the stands will be cheering on the home side, looking for another fast start in a derby. In the last five derbies, Celtic have scored first, and scored a goal in the last seven.
Ange Postecoglou laughed off the claim that Clancy will be heavily influenced by the home support, questioning if 700 fans would balance it out.
Postecoglou chuckled: [The Herald]
“I don‘t stand on that any way. I don‘t know, does that mean 700 supporters would?
“I don‘t understand. Look, I don‘t worry about that stuff.
“What‘s important tomorrow is that we perform well in front of our supporters.
“It will be a great atmosphere and that‘s where our focus lies.”
