Interim Rangers head coach Barry Ferguson enjoyed some memorable moments against Celtic as a player, although he will get a first taste of the fixture today from the dugout.
He has overseen some mixed results since taking temporary charge at Ibrox but is looking forward to getting in amongst it at Parkhead today.
Ferguson said: "You don't get much tougher [games].
"But as a footballer, these are the games you've got to look forward to. As a manager, I can't wait to go and sample it for the first time on the touchline. That'll be interesting."
