Stephen Davis starts for Rangers in the old firm derby today. Stan is in the studio and he looks in great health too - good to see

Davis's 35th Old Firm derby apparently. Had me wondering who appeared in the most.

Not sure, but David Weir must be up there, given he was about 70 when he retired.

Don't be stupid. The number depends on the split 😉

Out of interest PWS, who has the 87?

Hmm, interesting, thanks PWS. I was going to say I'm surprised there aren't more modern players, but I guess any modern player will be looking to move to England at the first opportunity.

Just a guess, but the lack of replays now could be a factor as well. As the 2 teams were often closely matched i'd imagine they had a fair few replays in the past.

If you scroll down a little, the managers with the best win percentages is quite interesting.

That reminds me of Glenn Whelan going there and his missus  chucking her toys out on Twitter cos Villa had kept her in a lifestyle she enjoyed very much before her husband was released by the club.

Bacuna’s Champions League aspirations remain very much a reality. He’s training at Small Heath.

I think that might be his brother
