What they're saying

"
Ivor Pandur insists Rangers are not focusing on the consequences of winning or losing their Scottish Premiership derby with Celtic on Sunday as they look to repeat the level they showed when the teams met last weekend. The Ibrox side dominated at home as they ran out comprehensive 3-0 winners over Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final, with Martin O'Neill's side defeated again midweek by Ferencvaros in the Europa League. Rangers currently trail last season's champions by five points, with Celtic holding a 100% league record as they look to defend their title.
