Madjid's a Boug-ey man for Bhoys
Algeria defender Bougherra has yet to finish on the losing side against Celtic since moving to Ibrox last summer.
Rangers lost two derbies in his absence last season but took seven points from nine in the three SPL matches he did play against their arch rivals.
But although the 26-year-old accepts he played his part, he insists those crucial results - which ultimately helped win the SPL title - were a team effort.
"So far I have been fortunate as I have only had positive results against Celtic - perhaps I bring a bit of luck to the team!" he told Rangers News.
"But, seriously, I think in the Old Firm games I have played, the team has done well and it's not about one individual.
"All 11 players have to perform very well, it's a team effort, and that will be the same this season."
Bougherra revealed his admiration for Celtic boss Tony Mowbray, who was on the brink of signing him for West Brom last summer until the defender opted to move to Ibrox.
"I was close to signing for Tony Mowbray at West Brom and now he is at Celtic so it is strange how things sometimes happen in football," Bougherra said. "He is a good manager and a nice person.
"I remember speaking to him and I was impressed with what he had to say and his attitude towards the game.
"He liked to play good football at West Brom and has a good reputation.
"I have not seen much of Celtic this season but he has brought in new players and I am sure they will still be trying to impress him and the fans.
"They will be determined to play well this weekend but it is up to us to make it very difficult for them.
"It is our home match and we have to be confident that we can win this game. I am sure we can."
Bougherra cannot wait to sample derby day again in what is the first Old Firm clash of the season.
He added: "It's fantastic to be involved in these games; it is one of the great derbies in the world.
"The atmosphere is unbelievable and when you win, you feel great."
