Reo Hatate accelerates his recuperation so he can play for Celtic on April 7th in the Old Firm derby against Rangers.
He participated for 45 minutes for the Hoops in a behind-closed-doors game against St. Mirren on Wednesday, March 20, according to the Glasgow Times on March 21.
It also implies that he might be a contender at Livingston, which is slated to take place before to the Ibrox crunch derby.
Rangers, with or without Hatate, are the favorites to defeat Celtic.
The possibility of Hatate’s injury return could make the Gers less predictable, which could throw off whatever preparations they had.
When playing a Celtic team without Hatate completely fit and integrated, Rangers might feel more confident.
In the forthcoming Old Firm derby, Philippe Clement’s are still the favorites, even with Hatate available.
Throughout the season, the Ibrox team has performed consistently, demonstrating their skill and depth throughout the roster.
Moreover, with the Scottish Premiership title race hanging in the balance, Gers understand the importance of securing victories in crucial matches like the Old Firm derby.
They would win the championship if they won their last games, and a five-point lead from a victory over Celtic would give them a significant advantage in the race for the championship.
