Rangers new boy Rae set for Celtic
GLASGOW, Scotland -- Scottish midfielder Gavin Rae is set to make his Rangers debut in Saturday's Old Firm derby at Celtic.
The 26-year-old will join the Scottish champions from Dundee on Thursday when the transfer window opens.
"I have no doubts in my mind that Gavin would relish the chance to make his debut against Celtic," Rangers coach Alex McLeish told Rangers' Web site.
"I'm absolutely delighted to have landed him as we've been keeping tabs on him for years. I'm sure he will be a big asset in the years to come."
But Rangers will be without Dutch midfielder Ronald de Boer, who is recovering from a knee injury.
Rangers trail their Glasgow rivals by eight points and desperately need to win to stand any chance of retaining their title.
