Davis still up for Old Firm derby despite title in the bag

STEVEN DAVIS insists there is no such thing as a meaningless Old Firm derby as Rangers prepare to do battle with rivals Celtic at Parkhead tonight.

The Glasgow giants meet for the final time this season, with Rangers still celebrating another Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League title success and Celtic desperate to end a poor season on a high.

And, although the points at stake will make no difference to the SPL table for either side, Davis knows both teams are determined to secure the bragging rights from the clash and he said: "A lot of people have said there is nothing to play for in this game but there is always pride in Old Firm games and everybody wants to win them."

The Scottish PFA Player of the Year added: "There is always pressure in Old Firm games, regardless of league position. The players, the fans, the coaches, they all want to win the games.

"Old Firm games are usually frantic and I can't see this one being any different."

Rangers face Celtic for the first time since Neil Lennon took over at Parkhead as interim boss.
