Ange Postecoglou insists Celtic will to win is hardwired and there’s no chance draw against Rangers will be good enough

Ange Postecoglou insists the will to win is hardwired into Celtic's DNA and there is NO chance his injury-hit Hoops will play for a point against Rangers.

The Parkhead boss will go into today’s Old Firm showdown without Reo Hatate after the playmaker joined Liel Abada, James Forrest and Anthony Ralston on the sidelines. Aaron Mooy and Greg Taylor have been passed fit though and Celts will be going out all guns blazing in a bid to bag three points. A share of the spoils would maintain the champions' nine point advantage with just seven games to go.

But Postecoglou said: “It’s fair to say we won’t be playing for a draw. Why wouldn’t we want to win a game of football? I never have thought that before. If there’s a game, I want to win it. That will be the case this weekend irrespective of what it means beyond this. You want to win every game you are involved in. That’s all we will be trying to do.”
