McGeady keen to break Ibrox duck

Aiden McGeady will look to set the record straight with his first win at Ibrox against Old Firm rivals Rangers on Sunday.

The Celtic wide-man, 23, has enjoyed his fair share of success against the Govan side since he made a scoring debut for the Hoops in a 1-1 draw against Hearts in April, 2004.

However, an elusive win at the home of their greatest rivals has managed to elude him.

“It is a special game to be involved in,” the Republic of Ireland international player said.

“Growing up as a Celtic fan it was the game you want to play in and I imagine it would be the same for every Rangers fan.

“I think I prefer Old Firm games at Ibrox to be honest.

“It is probably more intimidating being a substitute than playing there, when you are running past (the Rangers fans) you can hear everything.

“I haven’t actually been on the winning team there.

“I’ve had a couple of draws but I’ve never been on the winning side – I was suspended last time we won 1-0.

“But we have had a couple of good performances there when we should have won and it’s just that bit more rewarding.

“If we don’t concede that will give us a good basis upon which to grab a goal.”
