Rangers travel to take on Celtic in the first clash between the two sides this season.
Rangers midfielder Niko Kranjcar has told the club’s official website that he expects this weekend’s Old Firm derby to be the fiercest of his career.
Rangers travel to Celtic Park this weekend to take on the Scottish Champions in the first big clash between the two sides this season.
It is the first time the two have met in the league since Rangers’ demotion down the divisions four years ago.
It is likely to be an exciting and fierce battle between the two sides to say the least, with both desperate to earn the bragging rights early in the campaign.
And Kranjcar, who has played in a number of derbies over the years, says it is likely to be his fiercest to date.
“I’m looking forward to it, to be fair I can’t wait and I know I will enjoy it,” he told the club’s official website.
“This is probably going to be one of the most intense derbies I will have played in but for me when I played back home you play for your club.”
The Old Firm derby will certainly make for interesting viewing this weekend, with both sides having made strong starts to the season.
All eyes will likely be on the battle in the middle of the park, with much being made about Scott Brown and Joey Barton coming up against each other.
Indeed, whoever comes out on top in that battle is likely to play a key part in which side enjoys success on the afternoon.
