ANYTHING other than victory for Rangers tonight and Celtic can call themselves champions for a third successive time.
That’s the last thing Philippe Clement and his side will want even if the only thing Rangers realistically can still land after the 2-1 defeat to Celtic is the Scottish Cup.

Team news
The main talking point ahead of this one is the growing injury list at Rangers.
The Light Blues were already struggling for depth going into Saturday’s Old Firm with injuries Leon Balogun, Abdallah Sima and Rabbi Matondo all failing to return to fitness in time.
They added to Connor Goldson, Oscar Cortes and youth ace Bailey Rice who were already sidelined.
Dujon Sterling and John Souttar have joined them on the treatment table, with John Lundstram now suspended after his derby red card.
Clement said: “We have 11 players missing tomorrow, this is a major thing that we need to change heading into next season.
“There is going to be a turnaround in the squad this season, we have been working hard on this for months.
“Souttar, Goldson, Balogun, Sterling, Lundstram, Lawrence, Cortes, Matondo, Sima, Danilo and Rice will all be missing for tomorrow.”
For the visitors, Joe Shaughnessy, Owen Beck and Diego Pineda remain out for the foreseeable.
