Borna Barisic has urged Rangers to do whatever it takes to beat Celtic on Sunday and banish the regrets of their 2019 Hampden heartache.
The Old Firm square off in this weekend’s Viaplay Cup final - just as they did a little over three years ago at the same stage of the competition. It proved to be a harrowing night at the national stadium for the Ibrox outfit as they dominated the 90 minutes yet still ended up empty handed after Christopher Jullien’s controversial winner snatched the trophy back to Celtic Park. Now as they prepare to do it all over again, Barisic hopes his side have learned from that past anguish as he revealed he is determined this time the outcome will be different.
Barisic - one of 10 survivors from Steven Gerrard’s line-up still on the Light Blues’ books under new boss Michael Beale - said: “The lesson is this – it’s not about a pretty game. It’s not about who has played better - it’s just about winning. We can talk now about how we played better, which is true - but they won the trophy and we didn’t, so it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is winning the trophy on Sunday. This way, or another way. I hope we have learned from the last time.
