Tic better than Gers says Hinkel
There is never much need to add needle to an Old Firm game but Andreas Hinkel offered a thought or two anyway. Andreas Hinkel has added his voice to that of colleague Diomansy Kamara ahead of tomorrow's final Old Firm game of the 2009-10 season. The league may be lost but Hinkle insists Celtic are a better team than Rangers. The German defender claims the Hoops are keen to win to prove his point. Celtic have not beaten the Ibrox men in the the league since December 2008 However, Hinkel said: "It is always a big game against Rangers and we can show that we are better than them. Of course the league is finished but we can show - not the world - but all of Scotland at least that Celtic are a better team than Rangers. We have won the last six games and that is always good for your confidence before the Rangers game. It is always important for Celtic to get a result against Rangers and every year it is the biggest game of the season. We know we cannot turn the season around but our next game is against the champions and we can show we can beat them." Hinkel, however, is not interested in the views of Rangers striker Nacho Novo who last week blasted the Parkhead side and former Celtic manager Tony Mowbray's criticism of Walter Smith's tactics. He said: "I don't think about it or care what he says as it is not very important for me."
