Callum McGregor warns Celtic to keep cool in Ibrox pressure cooker

Celtic captain Callum McGregor is preparing his squad for a high-stakes Premier Sports Cup quarter-final showdown against Rangers at Ibrox. The winner of this clash will secure the final remaining spot in the semi-finals, joining Hearts, Hibernian, and Aberdeen at Hampden Park.

With no traveling fans permitted due to an SPFL ruling, Celtic will face an intense atmosphere created by 50,000 home supporters. McGregor has stressed that maintaining composure is the team's top priority to avoid being overwhelmed by the hostile environment.

You have to commit. You must be Celtic, be on the front foot and pass the ball. You can’t get sucked into the occasion or the atmosphere, which is easier said than done. Any time we impose our style, we generally come away with good results. Callum McGregor

Despite the absence of their fans, McGregor remains confident, citing past success at Ibrox as proof that the squad can handle the pressure. Celtic enters the fixture on the back of six consecutive league victories and looks to extend their recent dominance over their rivals in the League Cup.
