Well, Rangers fans know one player who is definitely starting against Celtic this afternoon.

Ibrox plays host as Rangers welcome their Old Firm rivals across Glasgow for the last derby of the season.

And in Celtic captain Scott Brown’s case, the last local clash of his career.

All eyes will be on Brown as he prepares to do battle with Rangers one last time in the Hoops’ shirt.

In contrast, there’ll also be a lot of attention on Jack Simpson ahead of what will be his first first Old Firm derby.

Steven Gerrard signed the 24-year-old English centre-back in January and due to injuries, he is set to start against Celtic.

Simpson, who conceded a late penalty at McDiarmid Park last week, has less than 140 minutes of football under his belt across all competitions since moving North of the border during the winter.

But Gerrard has confirmed [BT Sport] that he’ll be in the first XI today and here’s how some Rangers fans reacted to the news on Twitter:
