Barry Ferguson has named his Rangers starting XI for facing Celtic on Monday as he goes for an experienced look for derby day.
The Light Blues face a huge game to kick off the New Year on January 2nd as they look to keep alive any hopes they have of claiming Premiership glory. Ange Postecoglou's champions are nine points ahead at the top of the league and new Ibrox boss Michael Beale has to figure out a way of slowing them down. Former club captain and Record Sport columnist has chosen who he thinks should start.
There's experienced heads at the back with the ex-midfielder declaring 'Morelos is fit' when it comes to potential injury concerns surrounding Alfredo Morelos. The Colombian went off in Wednesday's 3-0 win against Motherwell. Ferguson told Go Radio: "Allan McGregor in goals, James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Ben Davies and Borna Barisic. John Lundstram, Ryan Jack and Glen Kamara. Malik Tillman, Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos up top."
"Rangers are at home and they have 50-odd thousand fans behind them. I always look forward to it but I always have nerves, as you always do leading into an Old Firm game.
"I can see signs from Rangers of where Michael Beale wants them to get to. But it is going to take time."
