Keane starts in Old Firm derby

Robbie Keane recovered from his knee injury to make his Old Firm derby against Rangers at Ibrox.

The Celtic striker was joined by Diomansy Kamara, Edson Braafheid and teenage stoppers Josh Thompson and Thomas Rogne, in making their first appearance in a Glasgow derby.

Rangers keeper Allan McGregor was fit enough to take his place between the sticks following an attack after a night out last weekend.

Ibrox boss Walter Smith, as expected, went with Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller as his strike-force with Kyle Lafferty supporting from left midfield.

Rangers: McGregor, Whittaker, Bougherra, Weir, Papac, Davis, McCulloch, Thomson, Lafferty, Miller, Boyd.

Subs: Alexander, Edu, Novo, Beasley, Fleck, Little, Wilson.

Celtic: Boruc, Hinkel, Thompson, Rogne, Braafheid, Kamara, N’Guemo, Brown, McGeady, Keane, Fortune.

Subs: Zaluska, Samaras, Wilson, Ki, Rasmussen, Zhi, O’Dea.

Referee: D McDonald (Scotland)
