Sutton reckons it's going to come down to who can handle the heat at Celtic Park this weekend.

The former Celtic striker says an inability to handle the enormity of the occasion will see some crumble. Sutton is convinced being nerveless is priceless as Brendan Rodgers ’ team aim to deliver a fatal blow to the title hopes of their rivals. The Record Sport columnist says Philippe Clement ’s side simply have to win and explained: “It’s huge, it’s immense and, as much as ability, it is going to come down to who can handle it.

“In that respect, Celtic look strong. But the equation is simple for Rangers. They need to win. A draw is no good. With that in mind, it could work in their favour. Remove any shackles. We know how Rangers are going to play, they will be direct, they will try to get at Celtic and test them.” Sutton takes a similar view when it comes to the attendance at Celtic Park, which will be made up exclusively of 60,000 home fans. He said: “Listen, I know what it is like to have a huge crowd behind you in this game. It can be inspiring, it can take you to another level.
