Mike Baur urges his Celtic team-mates they need to take the fight to derby rivals Rangers in crucial league encounter

Celtic midfielder Mika Baur has urged his teammates to show more fight and desire ahead of their upcoming derby match against Rangers. Martin O'Neill's side has suffered three high-profile defeats in 24 days, conceding 11 goals in the process. Baur emphasized that the team must prioritize mentality, energy, and winning individual duels over playing attractive football to secure a victory.

The recent slump includes a defeat to Ferencvaros and a loss at Ibrox, which prompted captain Callum McGregor to criticize the team's defensive work rate. Amid the club's difficult run, Baur celebrated a personal milestone after receiving his first call-up to the German national team under manager Jurgen Klopp.
