Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are due to host Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side in two days’ time.

Glasgow Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has admitted to the club’s official Twitter account that he has already been prepping his side for their clash with Celtic.

Rangers are due to meet the Bhoys on Saturday at Ibrox, in what looks like one of the most important Old-Firm derbies in recent times.

Rangers have managed to challenge Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table this season, and a victory at the weekend would put Gerrard’s side level on points with their Glasgow rivals.

Ibrox is set to be in fine voice in two days’ time, and Gerrard wants his side to use the atmosphere to their benefit.

He said: “We have to use it to our advantage, they did at our place. I’ve just said to the players you’re going to have 51,000 fans coming to take the roof off. They’re right behind you. We owe it to them to find 90 minutes and then we can go away and rest.”

Gerrard’s comments came after Rangers could only manage a draw against Hibernian on Boxing Day.

Rangers had the lead for much of the match, but slipped up in the final few minutes to drop two points.

Celtic, meanwhile, go into the Old-Firm clash on the back of a victory, after beating Aberdeen 4-3 yesterday.
