I would recommend to remove as much of the glue as possible before doing anything. Sand it, scrap it whatever you need to do. If you leave the glue on it might crack the plaster or make it separate etc. After that I don't see a problem with just going over it with the new plaster. You may not even need to replaster once you take all the glue off, just patch it up.

hi uk builder here, Andy from Manchester is appropriate its cracking because of the fact the water is soaking up into the wall quicker than the organic drying technique and as such the plaster shrinks inflicting cracks. in case you moist the section first this might end this absorption it rather is going to additionally reason suction which facilitates the plaster bond to the wall. Oh it may additionally be old-shaped plaster.....
