Ally McCoist hopes all Celtic fans have a wonderful Christmas, but wants Rangers to 'batter' their rivals in New Year. The Ibrox hero turned in to a modern day version of the Grinch as he wants the agony to pile on even more for Brendan Rodgers come the unrelenting festive period in the Scottish Premiership.
The Hoops have suffered a weekend of misfortune after dropping points in the title race again, losing to Hearts on Saturday, before watching their rivals scoop the Viaplay Cup on Sunday against Aberdeen.
Philippe Clement's men appear to be steaming towards the December 30 showdown at Celtic Park in which the scenario of Rangers going top of the summit has left Rodgers' champions needing the derby bragging rights.
And McCoist is basking in the Christmas cheer around Ibrox, but stopped short of wanting to ruin the Yuletide for Parkhead fanatics.
