Rangers host Celtic on Sunday in the first of two Old Firm derbies to take place over the next week.

Danny Rohl's side sit two points above the Bhoys in the Premiership table, although Martin O'Neill's men have a game in hand. More pertinently, Hearts boast a seven-point gap to the summit, making victory essential today for these two teams.

These fierce rivals will lock horns again in the Scottish Cup next weekend, so this promises to be a critical week both in terms of Glaswegian pride and their respective trophy hopes this season.
