Warburton excited by prospect of Old Firm games

Rangers manager Mark Warburton admits he is excited about the prospect of four Old Firm derbies per season.

Rangers and Celtic have only met once in the past four seasons and Warburton is yet to experience the occasion.

Both teams are in the William Hill Scottish Cup quarter-finals but Warburton is focused on ensuring his side secure regular Glasgow derbies by clinching promotion this season.

"I think any football fan will know and recognise that it is one of the biggest derbies in world football so it's fantastic for the fans and the players to experience a game of that nature,'' Warburton told Sky Sports News HQ.

"That has to be our target - four Old Firm games would be tremendous for the city.''

Warburton added: "Our targets are very clear, there's no masking them. The targets are for Rangers to return to the top table of Scottish football and kick on again from there.

"So we have to prepare accordingly, look at our recruitment, look at the structure, look at the training ground, where we can be better and prepare everything hopefully for the next level.''
