Bernardo and Fabio Silva discussed their upcoming match while playing for Portugal’s national team last month, acknowledging their support for opposing sides, Celtic and Rangers, respectively. Despite their friendship off the field, they understand the intensity of the rivalry and have temporarily set aside their friendship to focus on the game.
Their relationship dates back to their youth football days when they played for rival clubs Benfica and Porto but continued to represent Portugal together in various youth teams. Bernardo, on loan from Benfica, and Silva, on loan from Wolves, both expressed mutual respect, with Bernardo hoping Silva would ease off during the match.
Bernardo remembered his goal in Celtic’s previous win against Rangers and emphasized the need to prepare for the upcoming game with the same dedication as any other match, despite its significance in the title race.
Regarding Celtic’s recent dominance in the Old Firm fixture, Bernardo stressed the importance of concentrating on the present and not dwelling on past results. He expressed confidence in facing Rangers and welcomed the return of captain Callum McGregor from injury, highlighting McGregor’s leadership qualities and the positive impact his return will have on the team.
