The third Old Firm derby of the season is almost upon us and the big topics were discussed by the Record Sport team on the latest Record Rangers podcast.
The appointment of referee John Beaton to Sunday's Old Firm showdown at Ibrox kicked off the talking points ahead of Rangers and Celtic clashing for the third time this season.
John Beaton’s appointment has caused some controversy - are you surprised the SFA handed him this fixture after the Brendan Rodgers storm? Andy Newport: You can see it from two points of view. Just from John Beaton’s point of view, we all know what he’s been through previously - he’s been through some horrendous stuff from just doing his job. Was it necessary to thrust him back into the spotlight? The SFA will feel they can’t have clubs dictating who takes charge of their matches.
Fraser Wilson: The big thing in Rangers favour is that they only need to win one of the two remaining derbies providing they take care of the rest whereas Celtic can’t say that. If they draw, the momentum stays with Rangers. The crowd has such a big part to play because 50,000 on your side is a huge surge of strength but if they turn against you then the legs will go and the jelly legs will kick in. It’s only a positive if they keep them on side.
