Celtic icon Kenny Dalglish is adamant his former team have a fighting chance of downing Rangers at Ibrox if they use boss Neil Lennon for inspiration.
Both teams have a midweek fixture to contend with but all eyes are already turning to Ibrox and the monumental showdown between the great rivals next Saturday.
Celtic currently trail Steven Gerrard 's runaway leaders by 16 points and know a defeat will all but extinguish their Ten In A Row title dreams.
Rangers have been dominant this season but King Kenny reckons David Turnbull is a vital player for the visitors ahead of the the big one.
Speaking in the Sunday Post, he said: "I would imagine most people will have Rangers down as favourites to get the three points, but Celtic will not shy away from the challenge.
"Neil Lennon will not be scared in any shape or form by travelling across the city for a huge game.
"He needs his players to have the same mentality as him.
"I’m sure Scott Brown will start this game, just as he did in the Cup Final last week, where he led by example.
"David Turnbull also looks like a lad who is growing in confidence and stature. He really looks the part in a Celtic jersey.
"He has the movement and ability to hurt Rangers.
"All in all, as ever, the Old Firm clash is going to be a cracker.
"It is hugely important, and will be a defining 90 minutes in the destination of the title.
"Rangers don’t look like they are going to drop many points against other teams in the Premiership, so Celtic can’t rely on anyone doing them a favour.
"They have to do it on their own, and that’s why they need to win this one – and kick on from there.
"I can’t wait."
Despite Rangers being the favourites for the big one, the Scottish football legend reckons it would be silly to write off the reigning Premiership champions.
And Dalglish believes Celtic can get some joy from set-pieces against their old foes but also believes his former team's "baffling" weakness could be their undoing.
He added: "The Celtic rearguard can look vulnerable when they are defending set-pieces in their own box.
"Conversely, they are a huge threat when they are attacking corner-kicks in the opposition area.
"For example, you see the goals Shane Duffy has scored with his head, and the likes of Christopher Jullien also chipping in on the goals for column.
"Yet, for all their height and presence, they also concede too many at their end. It’s baffling.
"Rangers will do their homework before Saturday’s clash, and will be ready and prepared.
"The fact they have won the last two league encounters against their biggest rivals will give them extra confidence and collective belief."
