A massive test awaits Michael Beale as he looks to revive Rangers title hopes with a win over Celtic in front of a bumper Ibrox crowd.
Beale will hope to put his experience of the derby clash having soaked up the atmosphere when working as Steven Gerrard's trusted lieutenant, but it will be a different prospect for the former Queens Park Rangers boss when he is the main man in the dugout when the Scottish Premiership leaders arrive in Govan. Ange Postecoglou's men have a comfortable nine point advantage at the top of the table and Beale will be desperate to cut the gap on their rivals and pile the pressure on.
Since taking over from Gio van Bronckhorst, the Londoner has had his fair share of selection dilemmas to deal with after inheriting a lengthy injury list when stepping into the hot seat. However, those problems are beginning to ease just in time for the crucial clash with the Hoops.
