Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday

Celtic legend Kenny Dalglish believes Parkhead boss Ronny Deila is ready to grasp the opportunity presented by Sundays showdown with Rangers. Deila and his team took another step towards five-in-a-row with Saturdays 2-1 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park, a win which lifted them eight points clear at the top of the Premiership table.But there remain question marks over his long-term future with the champions due to his poor record in European competitions. However, Dalglish believes the Norwegian will realise he can ease some of the weight on his shoulders by beating Mark Warburtons side in this weekends Scottish Cup semi-final, live on Sky Sports.The Hoops favourite, who scored 167 goals in 322 games for the club between 1969-1977, said: I think its an important match for Ronny but Im sure he wont underestimate it. He had his first taste of it last year so he knows what its about.He understands Celtic, hes been there for a couple of years and he knows what the club stands for and what this game means.

Celtics 2-0 win over Rangers in the League Cup semi-final last year was a drubbing according to Dalglish Nobody is going to grab any bonus points by saying, Were Rangers, were just a Championship team, were not under any pressure. Ask the supporters if they are under any pressure. Its the same for Celtic. Celtic are under pressure because they want to win too.Celtic could not have had it any easier when they met Rangers last February - a match in which the Championship side failed to have one shot on target in the entire 90 minutes - but most Light Blues supporters were just glad to see their vastly under-equipped team not suffer a heavier beating. Petrofac Cup winners Rangers celebrate victory over Peterhead However, Dalglish, who won four Scottish Cup winners medals at Parkhead before heading for a glittering spell with Liverpool, feels this weeks match-up will be a closer affair.He said: The game last year was really a 2-0 drubbing for Rangers. But they have been fantastic this year with the brand of football they have played. James Tavernier at right-back is one of their top scorers with double figures. Dalglish scored 167 goals in 322 games in an eight-year spell at Celtic They have got a really good philosophy under Mark Warburton. But whether that is good enough to compete with Celtic remains to be seen.They had a game against St Johnstone where they lost 3-1 but then beat Dundee 4-0 in the Scottish Cup. Dundee drew with Celtic just a week ago, so youve got to give them a chance. It will be interesting to see how they react to playing Celtic, as they are the best team in the Premiership.
