Kenny Miller gives prediction for 'huge' Old Firm Derby

The title race in Scotland's top flight is once again coming down to Glasgow giants Rangers and Celtic, who meet on Sunday for the latest edition of the Old Firm Derby.

The rivals are separated by a single point at the top of the table, with Celtic holding the advantage but Rangers having played one fewer game.

With just one more week until the league splits for the second phase of the campaign, Sunday's match could prove instrumental in deciding the league's winner.

A former Scotland international who played for both sides is eager to see the teams square off. Speaking to OLBG, Kenny Miller feels one team enters the weekend with a decided advantage.

"This is a huge game of football. It will decide who takes control of the title race," Miller said. "A draw wouldn't be the worst result for Rangers. However, [Rangers manager Philippe] Clement is not going to be approaching it that way, he's going to want to win the game, which will put his team in a far stronger position. 

“Celtic have got really good players and you can never write them off. They've got a top manager, and they've got a group of good players who have achieved a lot over the last few years, and they have a great record in the Old Firm, as does Brendan Rodgers. So maybe they've just got that edge over Rangers, they’ll certainly believe that they do. 

“However, there's one thing for sure, Clement will want to get that first Old Firm win on the board after losing his first one, he’ll just approach it as he does every other game. It's going to be a great game of football. This Old Firm game will decide who wins the title, and I think it will be Rangers.”
