Alan Brazil suffers Celtic crisis of confidence as he plans to watch Rangers clash 'from behind the couch'

Celtic fan Alan Brazil believes the Premiership leaders are up against it when they face great rivals Rangers on Sunday.

But he still believes Ange Postecoglou 's side are in pole position to emerge as champions even if the result goes against them Ibrox.

Brazil - whose brutal verdict of the Celtic manager last summer was recently shown to Postecoglou via Australian TV - has warmed up to the man in the Parkhead dugout in recent months.

He is not holding out much hope for Sunday, however, but is convinced victories are in the offing when they face in the Scottish Cup semi final and the final league encounter at Celtic Park.

Sparring partner Ally McCoist asked his pal the plans for Sunday and where he will be taking the Rangers vs Celtic game in.

Speaking on his talkSPORT breakfast show, he said: "From behind the couch.

"I am worried about Sunday, but I am not worried about the semi final, I am not worried about the final game, the decider at Parkhead."

Despite his fears in the here and now, McCoist admitted he caught on the hop by Brazil's confidence for the fixtures that lie ahead.

He added: "I've never heard you as bullish about the Old Firm."
