According to Aiden McGeady, Celtic’s advantage could be heightened by the psychological impact of the postponement of Rangers vs Dundee.
Due to the absence of the Gers game on Sunday, the Hoops were able to climb back to the top of the SPFL table after playing one extra game.
Now that it has occurred with Dundee for the fourth time this season, the SPFL will be looking into the case.
He said on the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast, “It’s hard for the players because the players are in game mode [ahead of Dundee match].”
They have all of the directions and a mental picture of what they are supposed to do in the game.
“I assume the squad has been announced, so all of their attention is on the match. It’s not like you can control the weather. In football, these things occur. Probably the only thing that has everyone upset is the environment.
Conversely, Rangers are now playing catch-up, which puts Celtic at the top of the league heading into the international break. I know what it’s like to play catch-up; in order to keep up the momentum and psychologically match your opponents, you have to keep winning.
“Now that the game is over, the attention is back on the Rangers, even though things could have turned out differently.”
Rangers can’t allow Celtic to take the lead once more.
Though Rangers have shown their mental toughness this season, it is true that the postponement of the Dundee game may momentarily tip the scales in Celtic’s favor.
Despite a number of obstacles, including injuries, a packed schedule, and currently pitching problems, they have continually demonstrated the capacity to recover and continue their title push.
The team has a strong attitude because to Philippe Clement’s leadership, which emphasizes attention and tenacity regardless of the situation.
Their performances have demonstrated this tenacity, especially in pivotal games where they have persevered in getting results even when things have not gone according to plan.
They also have a talented and deep roster that gives them the flexibility to adjust to changing conditions and keep their advantage.
Rangers’ past performance indicates they have the mental toughness to withstand obstacles and stay focused on their ultimate objective of winning the league title, even though the postponement might temporarily throw off their routine.
