  "account": "Former Celtic captain Scott Brown believes a victory for the Scottish champions against Rangers on Sunday will change the game after a turbulent week for Martin O'Neill's side. Rangers secured a 3-0 home win in the Old Firm League Cup quarter-final last Sunday, before Celtic suffered a 3-1 home defeat by Ferencvaros on Thursday. Despite their poor opening to the Europa League campaign, Celtic currently hold a five-point advantage over Rangers. If the Scottish champions emerge victorious on Sunday, they would be eight points clear, fundamentally altering the dynamics of the rivalry. Brown, speaking on BBC Scotland's YouTube channel, highlighted the need for Celtic to match Rangers' energy and determination if they aim to secure the win. The former Scotland captain commended Rangers' manager Derek McInnes for his tactical adjustments, particularly switching to a 3-5-2 formation and man-for-man marking. However, Brown also pointed out the challenges Celtic faces, emphasizing the importance of starting the match strongly and effectively utilizing the team's talent.",
