Premier Sports drop Nedim Bajrami clanger in Rangers team news vs Celtic
Nedim Bajrami isn't at Ibrox for Rangers' Old Firm derby clash with Celtic on Sunday, or is he?
Derek McInnes' side are currently in Scottish League Cup action against Celtic on Sunday afternoon.
Gers are hoping to register their first win over their bitter Glaswegian rivals after three games without one.
One player who is well accustomed to the Old Firm is Bajrami, who played in six of them during his time in Govan.
However, the 27-year-old was loaned out to Saudi Arabian side Al-Taawoun this summer, with the option for a permanent move included.
But a pre-match graphic ahead of kick-off on Sunday will have had all Rangers fans who spotted it doing a double take.
What did Premier Sports do with Nedim Bajrami ahead of Rangers vs Celtic?
Unless Bajrami has a superpower he's kept hidden from the world, the Albanian can't be in two places at once.
Indeed, it was only on Saturday evening that he was on the bench for Al-Taawoun in their 6-0 home defeat to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
He may well still technically be Rangers' player, but between his loan duties and a long-haul flight, he wouldn't be able to turn out for Gers on Sunday.
However, as spotted by an X user named BiscuitRibs, Premier Sports seem to think Ibrox is exactly where Bajrami is this afternoon.
The television broadcaster - who are showing today's game - have Bajrami down as being the number 14 on the Rangers bench against Celtic.
Of course, that number belongs to Cammy Devlin and not Bajrami.
So, how has Bajrami been getting on in Saudi Arabia so far, and does his early form there suggest Al-Taawoun will be taking up their permanent option?
Why Rangers may have Bajrami regret
Clearly a player who is down the pecking order at Ibrox and not in McInnes' plans, the permanent option is there in Bajrami's Rangers loan exit for a reason.
In an ideal world, Gers would obviously like to get the ex-Sassuolo man off their wage bill for good next summer.
But, unless he can turn things around soon, he looks set to return to Glasgow with one more year left to run on his Rangers contract.
Bajrami has made five total appearances for Al-Taawoun so far in 2026-27, and he's failed to provide a single goal contribution.
He's started all four of the Saudi Pro League games he's been involved in too, but has yet to complete a full 90 minutes.
Al-Taawoun are sitting 17th and second from bottom in the league table, and so if he can't make an impact in this regard, that doesn't say much for him either.
