Former Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson reckons Celtic hold the “fear" factor going into Monday’s New Year clash at Ibrox.
The Light Blues side trail Ange Postecoglou’s Hoops by nine points in the Scottish Premiership title race, with the latest Glasgow derby dubbed as a must win if Michael Beale’s men have any hope of making up ground. Thomson is well aware how quickly a victory could change momentum in Rangers' favour but he acknowledges that Celtic possess a team which the rest of the league fear and even when not at their very best, Postecoglou has found a winning formula to secure all three points.
Thomson told Sky Sports News: "I have seen some glimpses of the Mick Beale and Steven Gerrard team where they moved the ball around well, but they've conceded quite a few goals. You're only successful at Rangers if you win. They've got those four wins which is great but if there's a disappointment around the corner the group, they will need to have good resolve and stick together.
