Rangers manager Ally McCoist expects Celtic to go for the victory in the Old Firm clash at Parkhead on Wednesday evening.
The Bhoys have closed to within one point of their deadly rivals going into the crunch showdown, with Celtic 2.00 to win the game and take over at the top of the SPL.
I would be very surprised if they didn't come out the traps and have a right go at us from the start.

McCoist's Gers are 3.20 to earn a point at Celtic Park and 11.00 to go on and retain their Scottish League crown.
"Celtic will go out to win the game," McCoist said. "They have one or two options in their personnel and position-wise they have one or two strings to their bow.
"I would be very surprised if they didn't come out the traps and have a right go at us from the start. But we can do that as well."
The Gers had led their deadly rivals by 15 points at one point earlier on in the campaign, but have seen their advantage whittled away until Celtic are now in a position to reach the summit with a ninth straight league win.
McCoist added: "They have put a good run together. Equally, we had a fantastic run at the start of the season.
"Our form has shaded a little bit and Celtic's has probably been the opposite.
"Their form maybe wasn't as consistent as it is now and they are on a good run at the moment."
