Celtic are already confirmed as Scottish champions for the 55th time, Rangers can’t finish anywhere but second. In the league table then, there really isn’t much hinging on this Old Firm Derby. But we all know this fixture means a little bit more than that. It is up there as one of the world’s great rivalries, and rarely disappoints.If Celtic are the stable juggernaut lurching forward – claiming 21 of the last 26 domestic trophies in Scotland and still in the hunt for the treble – then Rangers are still in a state of flux. Barry Ferguson’s deal as interim manager only runs until the end of the season. With the proposed takeover hanging over the club, there are many questions regarding finances, management, recruitment and direction.It’s something the club has been wanting, outside investment,” he said. “It looks to me like it’s going along smoothly and we’re just waiting to get the thumbs up. It’s the start of a new era for the club and it certainly needs it. Like everybody else, I’m just looking forward to the day it gets signed off and hopefully it’s a brighter future for Rangers.There has to be a lot of changes to try and make this club successful again, because it’s built on winning trophies. If I’m not going to be here, I’m excited about the prospect of new owners coming in and Kevin coming in. I’m comfortable with the situation. It’s been an amazing couple of months for me. A few ups and downs, but it’s given me a taste for it. Of course I would take it role and support the club.
