    <hr> <!-- S IIMA --> <!-- S SF -->Celtic striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink is only fit enough for the bench for the first Old Firm derby of the season against Rangers.

    Fellow striker Scott McDonald misses out, but fit-again Gary Caldwell returns to the defence.

    Daniel Cousin has returned to the Rangers starting line-up and will partner Kenny Miller up front.

    Charlie Adam returns to the midfield with Lee McCulloch missing out with a knee ligament injury.
    <!-- E SF -->
    New signing Maurice Edu, whose arrival from the USA was delayed by the collapse of the Zoom airline, is on the bench, but there is no place at all in the squad for striker Kris Boyd.

    Celtic: Boruc, Hinkel, McManus, Caldwell, Wilson, Nakamura, Scott Brown, Hartley, McGeady, Maloney, Samaras.
    Rangers: McGregor, Broadfoot, Weir, Bougherra, Papac, Mendes, Davis, Thomson, Adam, Miller, Cousin.

    Last season: Rangers 3-0 Celtic, Rangers 1-0 Celtic, Celtic 2-1 Rangers, Celtic 3-2 Rangers

    --------------

    I thought I'd post this because I believe this is still a big game, and it should be a cracker. I'll update when somebody scores.

    Just saw the scoreline and that was enough for me. 4-2 Rangers, Celtic scored their second in the 90th.

    I prefer Celtic in this rivalry, despite Beasley and Edu with Rangers. Not a good day for the Bhoys.

    Comcast doesn't have that channel.

    I have goltv and fox soccer, but I wish I had setanta as well.

    I did when I had DirecTV, but I was forced to switch to Comcast here and the shit thing is more money with half the channels. I can't wait to move again after a year. I'm getting DirecTV right away.
