OLD FIRM DERBY – Celtic vs Rangers – We preview Sunday’s Old Firm from the Rangers side. With Derek McInnes calling for “same again” after bullying Celtic at Ibrox, the panel weigh Rangers’ revival, the injury row hanging over the build-up, and how Rangers can hurt a Celtic side in crisis, before splitting on the score.
Can Rangers beat Celtic at Celtic Park?
Derek McInnes is “not happy with the challenge by Bower on Naderi”, whose ankle is “in a mess” and who is now a doubt, with Jim Gillespie contacting the SFA. The panel dig into the familiar frustration over VAR inconsistency and on-field decisions being overturned, then explain why the real story is Rangers’ turnaround: a word with Nico Raskin, a dressing room united behind the manager, and “a sense of togetherness” that had been missing.
Where will the Old Firm be won and lost?
A previously soft Rangers defence has been steadied by a new centre-half partnership, and the panel expect McInnes to send Rangers out to press high and “get in their faces”, forcing Celtic into errors in their own half rather than letting them build. Against that, Celtic’s recent habit of conceding from the edge of the box is flagged as the vulnerability that could decide it.
What’s the Old Firm score prediction?
“Whoever scores first wins”, the panel agree, before splitting down the middle: 2-1 Rangers on current confidence and physicality if they strike first, against 1-0 Celtic on home advantage and the sheer scale of the points at stake. An Old Firm divide, right here on the panel.

Owen Coyle says Rangers will be in Celtic's face on Sunday. Do Celtic have the physicality to match it, or does O'Neill's side get bullied again? 👀

Dominated the tic again 🤣
I get Hugh's logic on OF predictions, but if he doesn't apply it every time, then it starts to sound convenient.
rangers complaining about tough tackles eh? lol
If all the football guys were like Owen coyle.. be a far better football world
Owen coyle.. decent man and a great goal scorer.. and he gives a good account of games.. from a rangers man
If a rangers player.. did that he is getting a straight red.. even at ibrox.. with all the fans.. if a rangers player does that at parkhead.. it’s a 3 match ban.. until they get full time refs from all over the u.k to do theese Celtic v rangers games.. the inadequacy will continue.. it’s bordering on one team getting all the advantages of decisions.. and it’s not rangers
Baur should get 3 game ban , how he gets a call up n Naderi doesn't best GERMAN, player in the league fact
Yeah, nae chance, the Alter Boys are crap. 4-0 to the Gers on Sunday
