Inside the Rangers team bus during Celtic Park send-off

This was the colourful view from the inside of the Rangers team bus as they set off for Celtic Park this morning.

From 10am, a large crowd gathered outside of Ibrox as Rangers supporters prepared to give the team a raucous send-off ahead of today's Old Firm derby.

Hundreds of fans showed their appreciation for the team as they lined the street outside of the main entrance of the stadium.

Some produced a pyro display as the bus slowly traveled down the road before setting off on the short journey across the city towards Parkhead.

And the view from inside the team bus has been shared on the Rangers Review X account.

In the video, fans can be seen outside in the wintry conditions, cheering and holding red flares aloft.

Brendan Rodgers' side currently sit top of the table, boasting a five-point gap over their arch-Glasgow rivals.

Philippe Clement's men may trail, however, they do have two games in hand over the current champions, and could potentially reduce the gap to just two points this afternoon with a win at Parkhead.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 12.30pm and will be broadcast on Sky Sports.

John Lundstram and Connor Goldson have recovered from niggling injuries in time for the powderkeg match. Both players were doubts but trained at Auchenhowie yesterday.

Jack Butland is in goal, with the back four made up of James Tavernier, Goldson, Leon Balogun and Ridvan Yilmaz. 

Lundstram takes his place in midfield alongside the rejuvenated Dujon Sterling, while Ross McCausland supporters Todd Cantwell, Abdallah Sima and Cyriel Dessers in attack.

Sam Lammers, John Souttar and Jose Cifuenetes all start from the bench.
