Rangers host Celtic in the Old Firm today as Michael Beale gets his first taste of the “derby of all derbies”.

The Rangers manager, who replaced Giovanni van Bronckhorst last month, has won his first four games in charge but the Ibrox club have been unable to reduce Celtic’s nine-point lead in the Scottish Premiership.

Defending champions Celtic have only dropped points once this season and can all but wrap up their second title under Ange Postecoglou if they extend their advantage to 12 points at Ibrox.

"I am really looking forward to it," said Beale. “It is the derby of all derbies I think. It is watched worldwide. It is a privilege to be involved in it.”
