Rangers v Celtic: Barry Ferguson makes massive blunder
Barry Ferguson has named his Rangers eleven to take on Celtic in the final Old Firm clash of the season.
Gers play host to the Hoops at Ibrox and will be playing for pride on Sunday afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have already won the Scottish Premiership title but will still be looking to inflict more misery on their arch rivals.
Ferguson makes glaring error by picking Cyriel Dessers
With Celtic having already clinched the Scottish Premiership title, the upcoming Old Firm clash at Ibrox is a defining moment for Rangers to play for pride and prove their mettle.
This match, though inconsequential to the league standings, carries immense weight for the Rangers faithful, who demand a performance brimming with passion and defiance against their fiercest rivals.
| Rangers’ injuries | Celtic’s injuries |
| Findlay Curtis | Jota |
| Tom Lawrence | Kasper Schmeichel |
| Dujon Sterling | Yang Hyun-Jun |
| Robin Propper | |
| Ridvan Yilmaz |
A victory would not only restore some bragging rights but also send a powerful message about the team’s resilience and ambition for the future.
That’s why the Ibrox faithful will be disappointed with Ferguson’s team selection for this one.
He’s opted to go for Cyriel Dessers again instead of starting Hamza Igamane, who is on the bench.
Dessers is obviously not very popular among the Ibrox faithful, and for good reason, with his recent shambolic displays.
Igamane has proven he can be the man for the big occasion so not starting him is a tad baffling.
Rangers players must show they deserve to be here next season
The players must channel the electric atmosphere at Ibrox, showcasing grit, tactical discipline and attacking flair to outmatch a Celtic side that, despite their title, may lack the same hunger.
They need to play like they deserve to be at Ibrox next season.
For Ferguson, this is a golden opportunity to stake his claim for the permanent role.
A commanding win would demonstrate his ability to galvanise the squad, implement a bold game plan, and deliver under pressure in one of football’s most intense fixtures.
His intimate understanding of Gers’ ethos and his storied history as a Rangers legend could resonate deeply with fans and the board alike if he orchestrates a triumph.
By inspiring a performance that blends heart and skill to secure a victory, Ferguson can prove he’s the man to lead the Ibrox outfit forward, restoring their dominance in Scottish football.
