But it’s a shame, I wish he was going to be with us.A Rangers win would close the gap on leaders Celtic to seven points with as many games to go.Jeremy Toljan, on loan at Celtic from Borussia Dortmund, believes his side do not need to win the game. He said: Hopefully we can win this game, no matter if I start or not, and hopefully extend our lead at the top of the table to 13 points.The gap at the top certainly helps. You can go into the game very comfortable, but even though we dont need to win, we want to win and we want to win convincingly, thats for sure.Our league lead allows us to go into the game with a little more comfort, and allows us to play our game, especially at home.
