PHILIPPE CLEMENT has ticked almost all of the boxes since arriving at Rangers but the one thing that's missing is the crowning glory of a victory in the derby.
Having inherited a shambles from Michael Beale, it took the Belgian only a few weeks to win over the fans as he started to eat into Celtic's seven-point lead and got his hands on the League Cup.
Clement also steered Gers into the last 16 of the Europa League where they put up quite a fight against Benfica before bowing out.
That means there will be plenty of credit in the bank for the former Club Brugge manager even if he comes up short in the title race this term.
But Rangers will become massive favourites to win the Premiership if they can see off Celtic at Ibrox tomorrow with over 50,000 fans roaring them on.
And the bookies fancy them to get the job done despite Brendan Rodgers managing to steer the Hoops to wins in both derbies so far.
McBookie make the champions 2/1 outsiders at Ibrox with Gers at 5/4 and the draw paying 13/5.
