Peter Crouch ramps up Celtic Park derby hype by putting Rangers sizzler on rivalry 'bucket list'

Pete Crouch says the derby between Celtic and Rangers is one match that lists on his all-time ranking of games he'd like to attend.

The former striker took to his podcast to discuss footballing rivalries on the week where Ange Postecoglou's champions will host the Light Blues in a mammoth Premiership clash. Michael Beale's men need a win to realistically have any chance of winning the league and even a draw would all but likely mean curtains for their title ambitions.

It's a fixture famous all around the world, but this one will have somewhat of a different feel with no away fans in attendance at Celtic Park, unlike the 50-50 split both clubs will have in Scottish Cup semi-final action later this month. Crouch has played in big derbies in England at clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham, but it's the big clash in Glasgow that remains on his to do list.

He said: "I played in some big derbies and there are some derbies I want to go to. Boca Juniors vs River Plate, that's on my radar.

“I’ve never been to the Glasgow derby – Celtic and Rangers. That’s something that I’ve always wanted to do.

"Big derbies in other countries, I haven't done El Clasico. They are things on my bucket list and I said when I retired I would do them."
