"Replicating that might be extremely difficult - scoring six goals against that side," O'Neill said. "I'd settle for a really lousy 1-0 victory if we could get it."
"Obviously fond memories, it was great. And it did give us a real springboard really for that season."
""This is a big game for us," O'Neill said. "Really, don't disguise that at all. It's a semi-final, it's a big match for us. "Any Celtic-Rangers game is a big game, but particularly given the circumstances of the recent days, if not weeks, absolutely."
Martin O'Neill will manage Celtic in a Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Rangers at Hampden Park on Sunday, 2 November. O'Neill recalled his 6-2 Old Firm win 25 years ago but said replicating such a scoreline would be extremely difficult. He said he would "settle for a really lousy 1-0 victory". O'Neill described the 6-2 victory as a springboard for a successful season that preceded sustained domestic success. He was appointed interim manager after Brendan Rodgers resigned while Celtic trailed Heart of Midlothian in the league, missed Champions League qualification, and faced fan protests over the transfer window.
