It’s the first Rangers vs Celtic game of the season and it really is a big one. Celtic aren’t the invincible beast of seasons past, Rangers are well put together and stacked with talent and though Kris Boyd isn’t exactly the most reliable of pundits in the world, his assertion that “the league title comes down to who wins the Old Firm games” isn’t entirely wrong.

Celtic fans are already in their little section of Ibrox, most of the Rangers support haven’t quite made their way in yet. All in the boardroom at Ibrox will be desperate that those fans who do turn up actually behave themselves today because the Uefa sanctions placed on Rangers, which prompted strongly worded statements from the club, must be followed up with similar from the authorities in Scotland too.

As for the game, this could be great. Celtic’s back four is… interesting, Rangers have left Alfredo Morelos on the bench and put Jermain Defoe on instead. That makes perfect sense – although Morelos is hugely talented, he is a red card waiting to happen in games like today.
