Danny Rohl has urged his Rangers players to 'hunt' down Celtic in tomorrow's huge derby fixture.
The Ibrox side travel across Glasgow to face their arch-rivals at Celtic Park on Saturday lunchtime.
They know they can draw level on points with a victory, really heat up this season's Scottish Premiership title race, currently led by Hearts.
Rohl insists his players have plenty of belief and confidence ahead of the trip, as he called on his team to be hunters come kick-off.
🗣️ "We are hunters at the moment. Let's hunt tomorrow."

"It's a big game ahead of us after some good results for us," the German told Sky Sports. "We go there with a lot of self-confidence in such a game.
"We will of course not make the mistake of underrating them as a good team. They've got good players, even if the last result was not perfect for them.
"We want to go there for a good start to the New Year.

"It will be the next three points, which would be fantastic. We have to deliver a lot of things right. If we do this, then we have a big chance to take something from there. Again, it'll be a tough one for both sides.
"It shows how much my players have improved (Rangers coming into the title race).
"I will not make the mistake by focussing everything on this game, it's still a long season to go. For us, it's about consistently making the right steps and if we continue like we have in the last couple of weeks, then we are in a good way.
"It's always special for our fans to go there. I had this experience in the cup semi-final. It was a great atmosphere in the stadium, and our fans were unbelievable in the second half. They pushed us forward - even with one man less we got close.
"You have to be well-prepared for such a game. It's not just tactical, it's from the emotional side. This is crucial for us.
"I spoke about this yesterday with my coaches, and then I asked my players if they are ready to play such a game. They will be ready.
"There is a big belief. This is a big confidence. We are hunters at the moment. I like this role. Let's hunt tomorrow, the opponent."
