Rangers fans have unveiled a huge banner inside Ibrox ahead of today's Scottish Premiership match against Celtic.Β
The Gers players were met with the flag that dominated the Govan stand as they entered the stadium earlier this morning.
It read: "Glasgow Rangers 55 times the Kings of Scotland".

Steven Gerrard's side are aiming to continue their unbeaten league campaign when they go up against their city rivals this afternoon.
Gerrard has named Jack Simpson and Kemar Roofe in his team for todayβs fixture.
With Filip Helander and Leon Balogun injured along with long-term casualty Nikola Katic, 24-year-old Simpson will make his second start for the Light Blues and his Old Firm debut, having also made three substitute appearances since his move to Ibrox from Bournemouth on February 1.
Including Simpson, Gerrard has made just two changes to the side that started last weekendβs Scottish Cup quarter-final against St Johnstone, with Roofe also back in for the fifth and final derby of the season, meaning Ianis Hagi is on the bench.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. Weβve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who arenβt really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So thatβs why weβve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate β and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about β people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Letβs get that debate started!
