One of the biggest derbies in world football comes on Sunday as Rangers host Celtic at Ibrox in a successful Scottish Premiership game.
There is additional Australian interest in the Old Firm Derby this time around with former Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou leading the Hoops.

Rangers, meanwhile, are looking to defend their league title this season under Steven Gerrard, but have already stumbled after losing to Dundee United earlier this month.
