Brian Laudrup wants Rangers to 'totally dominate' Celtic as he ponders 'big question' which may lead to derby joy

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Brian Laudrup says an aggressive approach could be the key to Rangers beating Celtic on January 2nd - although he's not sure whether they have it in them or not.The Ibrox favourite is keen to see Michael Beale emerge triumphant in his first derby clash since returning to the club as boss.

He was assistant to Steven Gerrard as the club went on a seven-game unbeaten run against their rivals and believes and in-your-face approach was key to Rangers earning so much derby success, which helped deliver the 2021 Premiership trophy.Ange Postecoglou's men are nine points clear in first at the moment and a victory for them at Ibrox could prove fatal to a Light Blues title push.

But while focus will be on beating Motherwell this midweek, Laudrup writes in his Daily Mail column that his former side have to rejuvenate their title bid.

He said: "What winning gives you is confidence and momentum. Rangers have made a good statement by winning three on the trot and they will be hoping to make it four out of four against Motherwell at home."Then the goal is to beat Celtic in the New Year Old Firm clash at Ibrox on Monday and cut the gap to six points.
