Former Ranger and Celtic defender Steven Pressley hopes the defending players will win the first game at Old Firm this season.
“I still think it’s a game where the Rangers will be the most powerful for them,” Pressley told Sky Sports News.
“Celtic are showing signs of playing football that Celtic fans want to see but I’m still worried about defensiveness, they have a lot of shortcomings there.
