Former Rangers manager Ally McCoist: “This is one of the biggest Old Firm games. We keep saying it, I feel as though I have said this 4,011 times.

“It is certainly the biggest Old Firm game for a while. I don’t think Rangers can clearly afford to get beat.

“Ange Postecoglou has done a great job at Celtic. They have got themselves in a very, very good position.

“I think there are three games coming up over the next month or so if you include the Scottish Cup semi-final.

“There certainly won’t be a dull moment north of the border, particularly in the Glasgow area.

“From Rangers’ point of view, defeat is unthinkable. I think that would make the gap far too big.

“I don’t see that though. Both teams have got a bit of form. Rangers in Europe have been excellent, domestically form has been a bit up and down.

“They had a massive win at Dundee when they didn’t play particularly well. They are hanging on to Celtic’s coattails.

“I think with this game coming up we will see a different Rangers, I really do. It is a game that they certainly cannot afford to lose.

“I think they will go out and go about their business in a manner that they have to win the game.”
