RUSSELL MARTIN has made five changes to his starting eleven for the first Old Firm derby of the 2025/26 season at Ibrox, with new signing Bojan Miovski making his debut.
After Wednesday night’s defeat to Club Brugge, the Gers head coach has named the 26-year-old Macedonian striker – signed from Girona yesterday – along with captain James Tavernier, Connor Barron, Mohamed Diomande and Mikey Moore in his side to face Celtic with Max Aarons, Joe Rothwell, Danilo and Oliver Antman on the bench and Lyall Cameron out due to injury.
With the club’s number one Jack Butland between the posts, Martin has opted for a back four consisting of Tavernier, John Souttar, Nasser Djiga and Jayden Meghoma.
In front of them in midfield will be the trio of Barron, Diomande and Thelo Aasgaard with Moore and Djeidi Gassama featuring in the wider areas, either side of Miovski.
Joining Aarons, Rothwell, Danilo and Antman on the Rangers bench today is goalkeeper Liam Kelly and outfield players Cyriel Dessers, Nedim Bajrami, Emmanuel Fernandez and Findlay Curtis.
