# Confirmed Rangers team lineup vs. Celtic – McInnes opts for Naderi and Kelsy!

**Confirmed Rangers team lineup vs Celtic at Ibrox.**

The manager has made one changes from the team that started Wednesday’s narrow victory over St Mirren at Ibrox, thanks to Bojan Miovski’s last gasp strike.

The big team calls for Rangers vs Celtic are the selections of Kevin Kelsy and Ryan Naderi.

Badredine Bouanani makes way for Minsu Kim.

Today’s game isn’t just about booking a place in the last four of the League Cup.

It’s a sliding doors contest, given the trip to Parkhead next week on league duty. The stakes are so high.

Win and a Hampden date is in the calendar to look forward to, with the first silverware of the season within reach.

It would also provide crucial momentum for next Sunday’s trip to the east end of Glasgow.

Lose and the mood plummets.

Three competitions become two, and the possibility of going eight behind next week looms large.
