- Rangers manager Philippe Clement made seven changes after the Gers slipped to a 2-1 defeat to St Mirren in Paisley on Boxing Day, before they bounced back to a 2-2 draw with Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday afternoon.
- Jack Butland continued in goal, with club captain James Tavernier and Dujon Sterling the only two defenders to keep their places. The left-hand side of the back four saw Robin Propper and Ridvan Yilmaz replace Leon Balogun and Jefte.
- Nico Raskin replaced Connor Barron to join Mohamed Diomande in front of the defence. A new trio of Oscar Cortes, Kieran Dowell and Danilo replaced Ianis Hagi, Nedim Bajrami and Vaclav Cerny in support of Cyriel Dessers - as opposed to Hamza Igamane in attack.
- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers named five changes to the Celts side that beat Motherwell 4-0 at Parkhead to return to winning ways on Boxing Day, before smashing St Johnstone by the same scoreline to conclude 2024 with another win.
- Kasper Schmeichel continued in goal behind Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales at the heart of the Hoops' defence. Alex Valle and Alistair Johnston came in at left-back and right-back respectively in place of Greg Taylor and Anthony Ralston.
- Club captain Callum McGregor made way for Reo Hatate to join Arne Engels and Paulo Bernardo in midfield. Hyun-Jun Yang was joined by Nicolas Kuhn in support of Kyogo Furuhashi, as Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah made way against Saints.
