BRAWL IS FER IN LOVE AND WAR FOR GERS BOSS

BARRY FERGUSON has urged Rangers to make Celtic's New Year even more 'miserable and chaotic' than the shambolic end to 2025.

The former Rangers skipper and interim manager has tipped his old club to come out on top of Saturday's hotly anticipated Old Firm showdown with a 2-1 win.

That would drag the Ibrox side level on points with the beleaguered champions in second place behind pace setters Hearts - on the back of a crushing defeat for Wilfried Nancy and his men in Motherwell on Tuesday night And, writing exclusively for Record Sport, Ferguson says an already poisonous atmosphere inside Parkhead could quickly turn toxic if Rangers can grab an early lead.
