Steven Gerrard must address mentality and midfield problems, and Neil Lennon dare not slip up, as Celtic host Rangers on Sunday, writes Tom English.
Steven Gerrard gave a revealing insight into his own mentality when he spoke about his team's trip to Celtic Park on Sunday, a mission that will result in them falling 13 points behind Neil Lennon's side if the game goes as most people expect it to go.
He said he loved the pressure, the intimidation, the verbals of a trip into hostile territory. He loved it because when he won the feeling was all the sweeter. Rangers shipped points not just against Celtic and Aberdeen but against Kilmarnock, Dundee, Hibernian, Motherwell, St Johnstone and Livingston. Their flakiness has meant that the champions have accelerated away to a double-digit lead without ever having to move out of third gear.
And what makes a great Rangers striker? Presumably on the list of must-haves is a track record in inflicting pain on Celtic. For all his goals, Morelos hasn't scored in seven games and 9.5 hours against his biggest rival.
