Rangers manager Alex McLeish was already looking forward to his team's showdown against Celtic next month in the third round of Scottish Cup. The game will be played between Jan. 7-9, with a firm date expected in the next few days.
Rangers have not won at Celtic Park since March 2000, and last won a Scottish Cup match there in 1998.
"It is the toughest draw of the lot for us, and we have struggled in recent games at Parkhead [Celtic Park]," McLeish said.
FC Barcelona opened a 12-point lead in the Spanish league after Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez scored in a 2-1 win at 17th-placed Albacete on Saturday.
Also, Athletic Bilbao beat sixth-placed Atletico Madrid 1-0 when striker Asier del Horno slotted in a left-footed shot after controlling a long ball from defender Andoni Iraola.
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard managed to start Ronaldinho, who had been in doubt due to an inflamed ankle, and goalkeeper Victor Valdes, who had been ill.
Midfielder Iniesta stunned the Carlos Belmonte Stadium when he pounced on a ball defender Francisco Pena was slow to clear a few yards outside Albacete's penalty area, and scored in the second minute.
Albacete pressed hard, and defender Ruben Gonzalez come closest to an equalizer when his powerful header in the 33rd minute was saved acrobatically by Valdes.
Chile international Mark Gonzalez succeeded in equalizing in the 73rd with a deft header from a free kick.
Hernandez then claimed the winner off his right foot from a throw-in in the 85th. Barcelona headed the standings on 38 points, Real Madrid was second on 26 -- pending Sunday's game against Real Sociedad -- with Espanyol. Valencia was fourth on 25.
Udinese extended its unbeaten streak to nine and consolidated its hold on third place in the Serie A on Saturday, beating last-placed Atalanta 1-0 to bolster its bid for a place in next season's Champions League.
Striker Vincenzo Iaquinta scored his team-leading fifth goal in the ninth minute for Udinese, which improved to 28 points -- seven behind league-leading Juventus and three behind AC Milan. Both Juventus and Milan play Sunday.
Udinese, which has finished in the top five only once in 20 years, needs to finish among the first four to earn its inaugural berth in the Champions League.
