The visitors’ performance at Fir Park was especially dismal, which raised the latest set of questions about the former Columbus Crew coach’s suitability for his role. If Rangers win at Celtic Park they would draw level with their oldest foes despite the Ibrox side’s own unconvincing start to the campaign. Both teams trail Hearts in Scotland’s Premiership.
