Brian Laudrup has pinpointed this month’s Viaplay final as Rangers ’ last chance to sow the seeds of psychological doubt in Celtic, which could affect NEXT season’s title race.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have been relentless in their defence of the Scottish Premiership title. They are nine points clear of their city rivals and showing no signs of slipping up any time soon. Many have already written this campaign off for the Gers and urged them to focus on the cups in order to secure silverware.
That was the case last season, with all eyes on the Europa League and their run to Seville, while a first Scottish Cup since 2009 was lifted as Gio van Bronckhorst got his hands on one trophy, despite falling well short in the league. But more than just a day out to enjoy, Laudrup believes the meeting with the Hops at Hampden in just under three weeks time is his former club’s last chance this season to give the champions something to think about for next term.
