Ex-Celtic and Manchester United star Paddy Crerand has offered some advice to Amad Diallo ahead of tonight's clash between Celtic and Rangers.
Diallo arrived at Rangers just over a week ago and is set to make an appearance in one of the fiercest games in world football at Celtic Park.
Speaking to the club website, Crerand warned Diallo that in regards to the Old Firm "there is nothing like it anywhere."
“It’s a great opportunity for him, this,” he said.
“The pressure of a Celtic v Rangers match is incredible. There is nothing like it anywhere.
“You don’t know what it means unless you’re living in Glasgow. It’s bigger than Man City v Man United and maybe even Liverpool and Manchester United.
“The hatred between the fans isn’t nice. It’s got a nastiness to it sometimes, but as a player, it’s great to play in those games. The atmosphere in the stadium is just fantastic.
“If the ground could fit 100,000 people, 100,000 would be there. The clamour for tickets is incredible."
The Ivorian winger was quickly given a starting spot by Giovanni van Bronckhorst for Saturday's match against Ross County and his faith was rewarded as he scored less than five minutes into his Rangers debut.
Rangers went on to draw the match 3-3 but Crerand thinks he has made a good start to his loan spell.
“I watched Amad’s first game at the weekend as it was on television and he certainly started off well. He’ll soon understand what this game means to the people of Glasgow and being part of that experience will be a great lesson," he said.
Celtic host Rangers tonight at Celtic Park with kick-off at 7:45.
The Celts are currently two points off the top spot in the league and a win could be crucial to where the title ends up come May.
