Alnwick set for Old Firm showdown

game for this football club. That’s why the split was introduced, to give us massive games every week, and there is none bigger than Rangers and Celtic.

“We didn’t turn up at the last one in a way which would represent ourselves in a correct manner. We know that.

“We started back today by doing simple things really well with intensity and quality. We need to do more of the same.”

Rangers could line up at Celtic Park with an Old Firm debutant in goal. First-choice keeper Wes Foderingham missed out yesterday with a shoulder injury with his deputy Jak Alnwick stepping in for his first league appearance of the season.

“I’ve played in big games before. I played for Newcastle against Sunderland in what is a big derby, and these are the kind of games you work hard to getachancetoplayin,”said Alnwick.

“If we were to win next week, it would lift things going into the end of the season as well as into next season. We’re not looking at Celtic winning the league against us or things like that. We are going there to win a game, like we do every week.”
