Charlie Adam scoffs at Celtic 'mindset change' as he issues Rangers league table reminder

Bullish Charlie Adam has shrugged off Celtic' s impressive early season form - insisting it won't matter on derby day.

Ange Postecoglou will travel across Glasgow to face Rangers on Sunday with spirits high after some impressive early season showings.

For Steven Gerrard's side , they are dealing with Covid issues and some sluggish early season showings as they look to defend their Premiership crown.

Former Ibrox playmaker insists none of that will matter in Govan, noting that the rival clubs sit on the same league points tally at this stage.

The Dundee skipper, who was on the receiving of a 6-0 thumping at Parkhead earlier this season, backed his former side Rangers for the victory over their neighbours.

When asked on the PLZ if he thought there had been a mindset change at Celtic, Adam said: "Listen, Celtic have had a couple of good results.

"(Laughs) But they are on the same points as Rangers and everybody says Celtic have had an unbelievable start to the season, and Rangers are just not finding their form.

"But Old Firm, form goes out the window. It’s about how you play on the day. For Rangers, and Celtic will be the same, if the big players turn up it will be cracking game.

"You look for your match winners. Your (Ryan) Kent’s, if he becomes available, (Ryan) Christie, possibly (Odsonne) Edouard but I don’t think he will play, (Kyogo) Furuhashi.

"They are the ones you will look to on the big occasion to win the game. If they turn up it will be a great game.

"But over the piece over the last couple of years Rangers have had Celtic’s number.

"I don’t think Celtic will want to come and play the same way they have been playing. I think they will be cautious, but there will be plenty goals in it."
