Celtic and Rangers festive fixture predictions as countdown begins for derby D-Day

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Celtic. Many have looked at the gap and wondered if the league is already beyond Neil Lennon's trophy-laden squad, especially given the relentless nature of Steven Gerrard 's side.

But after two wins in a row against Lille and Kilmarnock and a shock 3-2 loss for the Ibrox men against St Mirren in the Betfred Cup - doubts have started to arise.Rangers have had poor new year periods in both of their seasons under the Scouser's management and the prospect of a third offers a chink of light for their Parkhead rivals to reach for.

Could this be the start of an epic turnaround with the title race hotting up just as the rest of the nation goes in to holiday cold storage?
