The Daizen Maeda 'nightmare' Rangers must be wary of as pundit makes Jota comparison

Daizen Maeda could be a 'nightmare' for Rangers to handle on Sunday and he offers something different to Celtic's Jota.

That is the view of former Hoops star Simon Donnelly who believes the on-form Japanese hitman could use his attributes to cause Michael Beale's men a few problems on Sunday. The Viaplay Cup final is up for grabs as Beale's side look to continue their unbeaten run and take the League Cup from the grasp of holders Ange Postecoglou and co.

It is sure to be a firecracker at the national stadium as it was in January's 2-2 draw at Ibrox where Maeda sped past the Light Blues defence to open the scoring. The Japanese attacker has nine goals and five assists this campaign and has been a stalwart for Celtic since returning from a successful stint at the World Cup.
