Team News
Rangers
Celtic
- Rangers manager Michael Beale may have a selection headache heading into the first Old Firm match of the season which, to the fans, is arguably much bigger than their midweek match against PSV Eindhoven in Champions League qualifying.
- The back four, five including the goalkeeper, arguably pick themselves. The likes of Nicolas Raskin and Todd Cantwell are probably certainties to start against Celtic on Sunday, perhaps being joined by Jose Cifuentes and Ryan Jack.
- It's in offensive areas where selection issues maybe arise. Kemar Roofe started in the Highlands and scored against Ross County. Rabbi Matondo has also impressed in recent weeks, so could arguably also be pushing for a start at the weekend.
- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers made four changes to the Celts side that fell to a shock 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock which saw the Hoops eliminated from the Scottish League Cup, before being held at home by St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership.
- Alistair Johnston made his first appearance of the season, replacing Anthony Ralston in the starting eleven. Maik Nawrocki joins fellow defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers, Stephen Welsh and Yuki Kobayashi on the treatment table.
- Odin Holm dropped to the bench, as David Turnbull took his place in midfield. And in attack, Hyunjun Yang joined Japanese duo Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi to make his first Celtic start at Liel Abada's expense.

Rangers wont lose against that lumberjack coach
Celtic have signed Liverpool central defender Nat Phillips on six-month loan.
@Marbella A good acquisition, no question. But does he need a game or two under his belt before facing Rangers?
Brendan Rodgers has lost only 1 of his previous 13 matches against Rangers.
@Marbella Make it 2 today. Celtic can’t find the net.
