Graeme Murty’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers will face Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic later this month.

Kevin Thomson has suggested to The Daily Record that Rangers caretaker-manager Graeme Murty should have Kenny Miller in the dugout against Celtic later this month.

Ibrox club Rangers will take on Old Firm rivals Celtic away from home at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on December 30.

Miller is set to miss the Old Firm derby due to a hamstring injury, as reported by The Daily Record.

The 37-year-old former Hibernian and Wolverhampton Wanderers striker knows all about the Old Firm derby and the intense rivalry between Rangers and Celtic.

The Scottish striker is in his third spell at Rangers at the moment and has also spent a season at Celtic.

Former Rangers midfielder Thomson played with Miller at Ibrox, and the 33-year-old former Scotland international has suggested that the club’s caretaker-manager should have the striker as part of his coaching staff at Celtic Park during the Scottish Premiership match against Celtic.

Thomson told The Daily Record: “If I was Graeme, I might be inclined to bring Kenny on to the coaching team for the game against Celtic. His experience in the dressing room could be vital on a day like that.

“I know the kind of character Kenny is and he will definitely still want to be around the lads. He is not the type of player who wants to sit in the stands or in the house and take days off just because he is injured.”

Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment, while Rangers are currently third in the standings.
