Fixture: Rangers vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 12:30 (UK time)

Rangers have announced their side and substitutes to play host to fierce rivals Celtic in a crunch Scottish Premiership game this afternoon.

Gers boss Steven Gerrard saw his men beaten in the earlier encounter between the two teams at Parkhead this season, but knows victory would put Rangers level on points with Celtic heading into the winter break.




Rangers have won seven of their ten league games at Ibrox this term and Gerrard knows victory would provide a real boost for the Gers.

The Rangers boss has options on the bench if he needs to make changes, including Glenn Middleton and Kyle Lafferty.
