Is it too soon to class this as a first festive derby of the season?
Maybe but its a big match as Deeping head out to the coast to meet Skegness Town this afternoon.
It wont be all ice creams and chips for the players though (we can't vouch for if this applies to the ultras!) as this is a crucial match in the race for promotion out of the UCL.
Recent history between the two sides indicates it will be close. A 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture pre-dated by a narrow Lincs Cup win for Rangers at the back end of 2022/2023.
