Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has revealed that the upcoming Old Firm Derby will be a close contest unlike the last meeting between the two sides.

Celtic picked up a 5-1 win at Ibrox last time out and the 34-year-old forward believes that it will be a much tighter affair this time. Although the Hoops will head into the game as firm favourites, Rangers are no pushovers and they cannot be underestimated.

Speaking to BBC, Boyd revealed that although Rangers have done well to add to their squad this summer the players that have been brought in are simply not as good as Celtic’s players.
