Midfielder Mika Baur feels Celtic won’t win Sunday’s derby game against Rangers with “beautiful football and nice play”. <\/p>\n
Martin O’Neill’s side were knocked out of the League Cup last weekend following a 3-0 defeat to their Glasgow rivals at Ibrox. <\/p>\n
The sides meet again this weekend, this time in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park. <\/p>\n
Last week, Celtic had to handle a 50000 strong Ibrox crowd last weekend but this time round it will be a packed Parkhead with no Rangers fans. <\/p>\n
“You could feel it’s a special thing there [Old Firm game],” he said. <\/p>\n
“It was like 50,000 people against you, you should handle that. And on Sunday it’s completely different.<\/p>\n
“We have 60,000 on our side, so we should use that. We need everyone.<\/p>\n
“We players will give 100 per cent on the field and we need everybody else to get that energy back and win on Sunday.”<\/p>\n
“I’ve said a couple of times now, stick together again, get the energy level, really, really high on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“You will not win it with beautiful football and nice play.<\/p>\n
“Maybe you will score through it, but you will win the game on Sunday with a mentality and with energy and that’s what everybody should bring into the into the match.<\/p>\n
“Sure you want to win. That’s the first thing and in in a couple of months, no one asked how you won. You want to play attractive football, if you want to do good with the ball, against the ball.<\/p>\n
“Tactics are really important, but as we all saw last Sunday, it was not about that. It was about tackling back, to run back. It was about that and we should bring that on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“You don’t want to stop playing good with the ball.<\/p>\n
“It’s more about the energy, it’s more about the mentality on Sunday, but it should be a good mix.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Midfielder Mika Baur feels Celtic won’t win Sunday’s derby game against Rangers with “beautiful football and nice play”.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":897795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-897794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
