Rangers vs Celtic: Ferguson’s Insights and Jefte’s Absence

As the highly anticipated Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic approaches, former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson has expressed his concerns about the upcoming clash. Ferguson, now a pundit, highlighted the importance of Rangers mastering the 'dirty side of the game' to secure a victory against their fierce rivals. His comments suggest a tactical focus on defensive solidity and physicality, which could be key in the heated atmosphere of this fixture.

Adding to the pre-match tension, Rangers will be without Brazilian defender Jefte for personal reasons. His absence is a significant blow to the team's defensive setup, as they prepare to face a Celtic side that has been in fine form. Jefte's absence might force Rangers to rethink their strategy, potentially relying on younger or less experienced players to fill the gap.

The match, set to be a thrilling encounter, will not only test the teams' on-field tactics but also their mental resilience. With both teams vying for supremacy in Scottish football, the outcome of this game could have significant implications for the remainder of the season.
