We'll soon see.

It's always good, Hugh, in the morning of these games.

There's always something.

There's some sort of surprise or talking point from the team news.

And there are a couple in there.

Yeah, Scott Allen, we said the fascinating thing about this game was that the tone was going to be set last night.

How rare is it that a meeting between these sides is impacted upon so heavily by another game?

If Hearts had gone to Fir Park, a difficult venue, won 3-0, what a statement it would have been.

Celtic fans would maybe turn up with their

tails between their legs a bit today but do you sense they come here with a bit of optimism and opportunity they believe they can take advantage of?

I'm interested in the degrees of potential failure for, well, for both, but for Rangers because that's been the focus this week, Scott, where we're conditioned here to thinking winning the league is a success, not winning the league is failure.

And as true as that may be, like I say, there's still degrees there for Rangers where win today...

Finish second, ruin Celtic's chances, Champions League qualification, show some fight before the end of the season.

That would be very different for Danny Rule than lose today, go out with a whimper, tail off towards the end of the season.

He's still got a lot to play for even if they can't win the league, does he not?

What do you make of the fact that there's no Nico Raskin?

I've seen a real split in opinion on this already where he has had some big performances in this fixture, Scott.

He is one of the first names on the team sheet, so in general terms that would be seen as a blow.

I've seen plenty of other Rangers fans say he's actually been a real disappointment recently and maybe his absence won't be felt as much as other people think it will.

On the flip side of that then, in the attacking department for the other team, great debate all week about, in fact for a couple of weeks, so many people say Ian Atcham is the best striker, he's the deadliest finisher, therefore he has to play.
