Mark Hateley insists Rangers are catching rivals Celtic at the perfect time as they look to make it eight wins on the spin after a week of rest and reckons a victory will set them up nicely for a league-defining month of January to kick off the new year.
Philippe Clement’s men head to Parkhead for Saturday’s mammoth Old Firm derby full of confidence with Europa League knockout football secured and the first domestic trophy of the season sitting in the Ibrox cabinet.
It’s a complete turnaround from the mood at the Light Blues when the fierce rivals last met and Kyogo’s only goal in Govan left the home fans howling boos towards Michael Beale and the Rangers players.
That was at the start of September and Beale was axed at the end of that month with his side trailing last season’s Treble winners by seven points.
