Rangers returned to the Premiership aiming for a 55th title but I think we’ll all accept this isn’t going to happen this season! Celtic would have to literally give this away now.
I can’t stress enough that second best isn’t what Rangers go for but Mark Warburton will be charged with securing 2nd place. Those chances are improved though if we can see of Old Firm rivals Celtic – ending their long winning run – on New Years Eve.
Should we claim the points not only would it avenge that 5-1 thrashing in September it would reduce the gap to 13 points and keep 3rd placed Aberdeen at arms length. However, defeat and we’ll be almost 20 points adrift heading into 2017.
What will happen in this one though? Cast your vote so we know if you think it’ll be all smiles or disappointment for the Gers come the full time whistle.
