Former Celtic captain Scott Brown says a Celtic win against Rangers “changes the game” for manager Martin O’Neill, after a difficult period for the club heading into the derby.
Both sources report that Brown frames the match as a potential turning point, linking the result to how Celtic can perform in the contest and challenge Rangers’ recent edge in derby games. The outlets describe the context as a turbulent week for O’Neill’s side, with Brown suggesting that securing victory would have wider implications beyond the single fixture.
While the coverage differs in emphasis—one piece focuses on the idea that the win “changes the game,” and the other adds a question about whether Celtic can reverse Rangers’ derby dominance—the core points align: Brown’s assessment centers on Celtic’s ability to shift momentum with a win against their rivals.
