Unsurprisingly, there has been some needle in the buildup to this match. After Röhl said it would be “interesting” to see whether Kasper Schmeichel would return to the Celtic lineup after a strong performance from Viljami Sinisalo against Stuttgart in midweek, Martin O’Neill was not best pleased. “So he is picking our team? Well done old Danny. He’s only in less than a year,” said the Celtic manager. “I have to laugh. He’s made a comment about the picking of our team? Absolutely extraordinary. He hasn’t been in Glasgow long. There’s no need for him commenting on my team.”
Plus, Barney Ronay on this season’s three-way Scottish title race. “For once this is not a title decider. It could be a title eliminator. It could be a step towards neither of Celtic or Rangers winning the league for the first time in 41 years. A draw in Glasgow could leave Hearts six points clear at the top. But by now it is a startling transformation whatever the outcome.”
