Wednesday night was Rangers’ biggest match of the season so far but this weekend will surpass that as Celtic visit Ibrox for the first Old Firm derby of the 2023/24 campaign.
Michael Beale’s side need to put the demolition job from the Philips Stadion behind them in order to make an early statement in the Scottish Premiership season. Injury to Borna Barisic leaves the former QPR gaffer limited for options at left back while a handful of particularly poor performances in the Netherlands will likely give him food for thought.
Here is GlasgowWorld’s predicted Rangers starting XI to face Celtic in this weekend’s Old Firm derby:
9. RW - Sam Lammers
Made an immediate impact off the bench on Wednesday and provides an extra goal threat and option with Tavernier hopefully getting up the wing | Getty Images
10. LW - Rabbi Matondo
Was dealt with decisive by Jonathan Teze on Wednesday but worked hard to create chances and can cause problems with his pace | Getty Images
11. ST - Danilo
