Arthur's Column // 5th April 2024

I'm going to be at Ibrox on Sunday for the Old Firm game and I'm so looking forward to it.

I can already feel my body getting really excited. So, I can only imagine how the players feel right now!

These are special games and it's a chance for Philippe Clement and his squad to edge closer to becoming real heroes.

The chance to win the SPFL Premiership is in the palm of their hands and they now need to go and grasp it.

In recent times, the team has lost too many important games against Celtic. That needs to change this weekend.

In front of 50,000 supporters, it's the perfect moment to show we are the best team in the country. 

My view is that we will win the game. It will not be easy because the Celtic team has many talented footballers.

But we have been very good for the past six months and through patience, hard work and quality, we are now a few wins away from being Champions.

If this opportunity doesn't motivate the players to be at their very best on Sunday and win the game  then nothing will.

In recent years we have all suffered as we've watched Celtic win too many titles. That all needs to change.

Philippe has given the football club the chance to move upwards and be the no.1 team in Scotland.

I was proud to win three titles with Rangers. The memories are so special. I still love to think about them and talk about them!      

I now want the current squad members to sample these incredible feelings.

The likes of James Tavernier, Connor Goldson and Ryan Jack all won the title under Steven Gerrard in 2021.

They will want it again and so will the players who are fairly new to Rangers such as Todd Cantwell, Cyriel Dessers, Jack Butland and Mo Diomande.

It will take a collective effort and everything will need to be spot on to win this game.

If we can do that and then follow it up with a win at Dundee on Wednesday night then we will be very close to becoming Champions.

Right now, I feel we deserve to win the League and I hope we do it. I've a good feeling that we will.
