Key Talking Points

Pressure on Philippe Clement: After a Boxing Day loss to St Mirren, Clement will be under scrutiny. Another slip-up could increase fan dissatisfaction heading into the New Year’s Old Firm clash.
Motherwell’s Survival Fight: Firmly entrenched in the mid-table battle, Motherwell will look to frustrate Rangers and capitalize on counter-attacks.
Rangers’ Title Race: With a massive 12-point gap, dropping any points here could effectively end their faint hopes of catching Celtic.

This clash promises to be an intense affair as both teams seek redemption to close out the year on a positive note. Don’t miss it!
