Rangers starting team news vs Celtic as Michael Beale take charge of first Old Firm derby at Ibrox

Michael Beale has named his Rangers side he hopes can defeat Celtic and close the gap at the top of the Premiership.

The Light Blues welcome Ange Postecoglou's table toppers to Ibrox in a blockbuster start to 2023. It's been the perfect beginning for the new management set-up with four wins from four since the Premiership returned following the winter shutdown. Giovanni van Bronckhorst departed the club with nine points the difference in the standings at that remains the case due to the Hoops also boasting a 100 per cent record since the return - not allowing Rangers a sniff in bringing that tally down.

However, today could have a major say on the outcome of the title race this term. A victory for Celtic and they would increase the gap between the pair to 12 points but a big win for Beale and Co in front of nearly 50,000 Rangers fans would see that gap cut to six points with a big second half of the campaign to come.
