In tomorrow’s Old Firm match, there will be key individual battles happening all over the pitch. However, perhaps none will be as influential as that between Daniel Candeias and Emilio Izaguirre. Barring a couple of suspensions, Candeias has been a near ever present under Steven Gerrard. A red card against Villarreal saw the Portuguese miss…
I’m sweating reading this article, if all we need to do to beat Celtic is, skin the stand in LB, then we are laughing.
Typically, no matter how Celtic are doing and dropping points, recently they’ve always raised their game for us. Tomorrow is the time for belief from Rangers, get out at them fast and win individual battles.
I have faith in whoever plays and where they play. At the start of the Gerrard era this team were strutting their stuff, a few draws and fans are on their backs, heads down etc. As I mentioned earlier, we need belief.
Back to your original question, yep, Candeias will skin Izaguirre all day long.
