The ex-Celtic captain is starting to pick up on the sound of a promising melody. As they enter the final stretch of the season, his previous team seems to have timed their resurgence to perfection.

Having won the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund in 1997, Lambert is no stranger to delivering under the brightest lights. Speculation suggests that Celtic could find themselves energized as they gear up to visit Ibrox for the vital third derby against Rangers on April 7, boosted by the returns of skipper Callum McGregor and Japanese playmaker Reo Hatate to the midfield lineup. Regardless of who takes the field in Celtic’s midfield, the 54-year-old emphasizes the critical nature of showing up and making an impact.

Handling both the highs and lows that accompany the sport is crucial. According to Lambert, if you can’t navigate the challenges that come with playing for Celtic, then this club might not be the right fit for you. To sign up for Celtic means welcoming the intensity of crucial fixtures and the pressure that accompanies them. Failure to approach these moments with readiness can be detrimental and overwhelming.
