Rangers manager Danny Rohl stated his players must combine passion with tactical intelligence for the upcoming Old Firm derby. Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Rohl described the fixture as a crucial moment in the Scottish Premiership title race. He told reporters that his squad requires a hot heart and a smart mind to navigate the pressure of the Glasgow derby, according to Sky Sports.
The manager confirmed that several key players returned to training this week following recent injury concerns. Rohl noted that the atmosphere at Ibrox will play a significant role but emphasised that emotional control remains vital for his team. Rangers currently trail league leaders Celtic in the standings, making the weekend result pivotal for their championship hopes, per The Guardian.
Sunday's match marks the third meeting between the two clubs this season. Rohl took over at Ibrox in 2025 and is seeking his first home victory against the reigning champions. The club expects a capacity crowd for the 12:00 GMT kick-off.
