Barry Ferguson Sends Defiant Message to Brendan Rodgers Ahead of Celtic vs Rangers Showdown
As the heat rises ahead of Sunday’s crucial Old Firm clash, Rangers legend Barry Ferguson has fired a bold warning to Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers — reminding him of past defeats and promising more pain to come.
With the fierce rivalry set to reignite at the weekend, Ferguson hasn’t held back in his comments, urging Rodgers to brace himself for a repeat of what happened the last time the two sides met in a high-stakes encounter.
“I’ll make sure to defeat you again,” Ferguson declared, in a defiant statement that has stirred excitement among Rangers supporters. “And you’ll see that same sad face, just like last time.”
The comments are a direct reference to Rangers’ previous triumphs over Rodgers’ Celtic in critical matches — moments that have left lasting memories in the minds of fans and former players alike. Ferguson, never one to shy away from mind games, is clearly aiming to pile pressure on the Celtic boss as the two Glasgow giants prepare for what could be a season-defining showdown.
Celtic, currently led by Rodgers in his second spell at the club, have been under scrutiny for recent performances, and Ferguson’s message adds another layer of intensity to what is already one of football’s most passionate rivalries. Meanwhile, Rangers will be looking to capitalize on any signs of weakness and prove once again that they can rise to the occasion.
Sunday’s match promises fireworks — not just on the pitch, but in the dugout and in the media. With Barry Ferguson stoking the flames and Brendan Rodgers facing high expectations, all eyes will be on Celtic Park as Scotland’s biggest football rivalry writes its next dramatic chapter.
Will Rodgers silence his critics and Ferguson’s taunts — or will history repeat itself? The countdown to Sunday begins.
