Danny Rohl faces an uncertain future at Rangers as he names his starting XI to face Celtic on Sunday.

The Gers are coming into an Old Firm crunch match off the back of back-to-back defeats in the Scottish Premiership against Motherwell and Hearts.

Losses at Ibrox and Tynecastle have all but ended any title hopes at Ibrox and could ultimately cost the German head coach his job.

He needs to get a positive result away at Parkhead, otherwise he may be on the way out, so he needs to get everything right against Martin O’Neill and Co.

Rangers have now named their starting XI to face Celtic, with Rohl potentially destined to live to great his Mikey Moore call at Celtic Park.

The Light Blues have certainly had some positive results against their nearest rivals recently and need to hope for that once again.

The last five derby clashes have only ended in defeat once for the Govan club in normal time, a record that can’t change today.

With the hope of maintaining a positive Old Firm record, Rohl has called upon some familiar stars, as the likes of Jack Butland and James Tavernier both start.

Tuur Rommens has returned to replace Dujon Sterling, while Connor Barron and Oliver Antman have come in for Nico Raskin and Andreas Skov Olsen.

Youssef Chermiti will be keen to repeat his heroics in the derby, as will Moore, but he probably won’t be able to if he follows his performance from the Hearts defeat.

The Tottenham loanee was shocking at Tynecastle, so starting him may prove to be an error, with Steven Gerrard being linked with replacing Rohl at Rangers.

The former Sheffield Wednesday boss needs to get every single decision right if he wants to keep hold of his job moving into next season.

A report on Sunday has suggested that his role isn’t secure with Alan Nixon reporting on Patreon that Gerrard is being discussed as a potential replacement in Govan.

Rohl’s recent failings have gone down badly, and a defeat against Celtic could ultimately seal his fate in G51.

Things won’t get any better with his call on Moore as he needs his side to get at the Hoops and seal a massive three points.

It probably won’t be enough to get back among the title race, but it could be enough for Rohl to keep his job safe.
