The missing Celtic and Rangers ingredient from derby day powderkeg pinpointed by Ange Postecoglou

Ange Postecoglou insists strong discipline will again be a major Celtic trait in tomorrow’s Viaplay Cup Final. The Aussie has been in charge of seven encounters against the Ibrox outfit since taking the job at Parkhead.

Despite the high-octane nature of the derby occasion and the feisty atmosphere, neither Postecoglou’s team nor their opponents have suffered a red card during those septet of the showdowns. Callum McGregor was the last individual to be ordered-off in the fixture back in May 2021 when John Kennedy was in charge of the Celtic.

That was just prior to the new boss coming onto the scene and there were only two yellow cards meted out through the entire 90 minutes during the last Old Firm contest at Ibrox last month. Impressive discipline has been a feature of Postecoglou's side since he started in the job and he says that will again be a normal focus at the National Stadium.
