Celtic and Rangers will for the second weekend in succession as the two Glasgow giants meet in the Scottish Premiership at Parkhead this Sunday (kick-off: 12pm).
Rangers hold the bragging the rights heading into the game having been dominant in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup, meaning the hosts will be desperate for a quick slice of revenge as they look to extend their lead at the top of the table.
However, it’ll be Derek McInnes’ side who enter the game with fresher legs, with Celtic playing in the Europa League against Ferencvaros on Thursday night. At the same time, Rangers have enjoyed a week’s rest ahead of the clash in the east end of Glasgow.
Ahead of the game at Celtic Park, The Scotsman has all the latest team news:
