Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers will face Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic at Ibrox next weekend.

The Hoops will take on Old Firm rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership next Saturday.
Tom Rogic could miss the game due to a possible call-up to the Australia national football team for the Asian Cup.
That will mean that Brown will be in contention to feature against Rangers, and Celtic manager Rodgers has suggested that the 33-year-old could start at Ibrox.
Rodgers told The Daily Record about Brown: “There is no doubt that in the big games he makes the big contribution. That is why he has played 500-odd games.
“He is an important player for that. He came back at a good time. He was able to come in and contribute in the cup final.
“Now it is just a case of managing him through some of the games to make sure he is at game speed for this last week.”
Massive boost
Brown has yet to re-establish himself in the Celtic starting lineup after recovering from injury, but the former Scotland international is a man for the big occasions.
The 33-year-old – who has been on the books of Celtic since the summer of 2007 when he joined from Hibernian for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4.4 million – will relish the chance to guide the Hoops to victory over Rangers at Ibrox and make a real mark on the Scottish Premiership title this season.
