Rangers have not beaten their Glasgow rivals in five matches
Former Celtic manager Martin O’Neill believes Rangers face a major test at Hampden on Sunday as he questioned their big-match mentality.
"I think Rangers have some decent players, but at big moments they just seem to falter. The last match it was 1-1, a simple headed clearance, they should have dealt with it and almost tried to keep the ball in play. The next thing Celtic are 2-1 in front."It comes from results. Obviously the Old Firm matches are massively big. If you can’t win those games then of course confidence suffers greatly.
Celtic had not beaten Rangers in seven matches before O’Neill took over in the summer of 2000 and had only won four trophies in the previous 11 seasons. The former Nottingham Forest and Northern Ireland midfielder said: "Absolutely, Celtic are the benchmark and Rangers have to get there. And they will have to get there sooner rather than later.
"Rangers don’t have that to fall back on. In fairness to the manager who has come in, up until not so long ago they were matching Celtic in terms of league results but they weren’t making up any ground.
