What happened. Rangers followed last Sunday's 3-0 League Cup win at Ibrox with a 1-0 league victory at Celtic Park, making it back-to-back Old Firm derby triumphs. The results have narrowed the gap to Celtic to two points and come after a sluggish start featuring humiliating Europa League and Conference League exits.

• Rangers have now won six consecutive matches across competitions.
• The side is being described as aggressive, organised and front-foot under McInnes.
• McInnes admitted he remains embarrassed by the club's European exits.

“I like putting my name to this team at the minute.”

— Derek McInnes

Rangers will look to sustain their momentum and close further on Celtic after a dramatic turnaround in form.
