Graeme Murty is making no bones about the importance of Rangers' trip to face Old Firm rivals Celtic next weekend, dubbing the game "massive".

Rangers were recently drubbed 4-0 by Celtic in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup, something which many feel all but ended Murty's chances of keeping his job into next season.




The Rangers manager now has to take his side to Celtic Park next weekend, knowing the Bhoys could win the title over the course of the 90 minutes.

And he is fully aware of the importance of the game and turning the page on the Scottish Cup debacle.
 


"I see it as a massive game for this football club", Murty was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"That's why the split was introduced, to give us massive games every week, and there is none bigger than Rangers and Celtic."

The Rangers manager, whose side have lost three of their four meetings with Celtic this season, added: "We didn't turn up at the last one in a way which would represent ourselves in a correct manner. We know that."

With Celtic on course to complete a historic double treble, Murty will be desperate to give Rangers fans something to cheer by beating the Bhoys in their own backyard this Sunday.
