Celtic host Rangers in a crucial Old Firm that could go a long way to deciding the Scottish Premiership title race.
Celtic cannot afford to drop points as they chase leaders Hearts, who are bidding to end the Old Firm’s dominance and become the first team outside of Glasgow’s big two to win the league since 1985.
The Jambos were yesterday held to a controversial 1-1 draw at Motherwell, which means Martin O’Neill’s side can reduce the deficit to just one point with a victory over their rivals.
Rangers were all but knocked out of the race by losing 2-1 to Hearts at Tynecastle on Monday, despite Danny Rohl’s side leading 1-0 at the break, but they would love to harm Celtic’s title chances.
Celtic and Rangers drew 2-2 in the last league meeting in March, before an explosive Scottish Cup quarter-final that finished with fans clashing on the pitch in the immediate aftermath of Celtic’s penalty shoot-out victory.

What is the team news?
Martin O’Neill makes one change from last weekend’s win at Hibs. Luke McCowan replaces Sebastian Tounekti on the wing, with Daizen Maeda fit to start. Kelechi Iheanacho has to settle for a place on the bench.
There’s no Nico Raskin in the Rangers squad. We’ll have to see why that is when Danny Rohl speaks before the game. There are changes elsewhere, too. Tuur Rommens starts but comes back into the side in place Dujon Sterling, rather than James Tavernier. Connor Barron replaces Raskin, while Oliver Antman replaces Andreas Skov Olsen, with Mikey Moore also starting alongside Youssef Chermiti.
