da brdice： There is no question whatsoever that Celtic defender Mikael Lustig suffered a nightmare day in the 1-0 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox in December, but he is on course to make amends when the two clubs meet at the same stadium on Sunday.
On the chalkboard
The experienced Sweden international was named on the team-sheet by former Bhoys boss Brendan Rodgers for the clash at the end of 2018, just prior to the winter break.
However, it proved to be a horrible day for the Scottish Premiership champions against their Glasgow rivals, and a nightmare 45 minutes for Lustig.
The 32-year-old was completely done by Ryan Kent for the only goal of the game and struggled throughout the first half, before being sacrificed by Rodgers, who suffered his first Old Firm defeat in 13 attempts as a result, at the break.
Ready to make amends
He certainly is.
The Swede may have been taken off with an injury issue in the title-securing 3-0 win against Aberdeen last weekend, but the Scottish Sun report that he will be available for the short trip across Glasgow on Sunday.
And he will arrive at Ibrox in good form, as a player who has been reborn under Neil Lennon having often failed to hit the heights previously this term under Rodgers.
Lustig is looking solid defensively and appears to have got his fight back, while he even found the net against the Dons as the Bhoys officially made it eight in a row.
With a spring his step and confidence flowing, the 32-year-old is well set to step up to the plate and do what he couldn’t do less than five months ago.
Controversial. Uncompromising. Leader. C’mon the Hoops’ Keith talks the future of Celtic’s evergreen captain Scott Brown in the video below…
He is likely to come up against either Kent or Daniel Candeias at the weekend, but he will be fancying his chances against either as Celtic look to make another statement in the final Old Firm of the campaign.
