CELTIC travel to Ibrox on Sunday hoping to increase their advantage at the top of the table.

Postecoglou’s side won the last of the side’s meetings, a humbling performance that saw the Hoops 3-0 by halftime took everyone by surprise.

On their last trip to Ibrox, Celtic was on the wrong side of their scoreline. Admittedly, the score didn’t reflect his performance, and Postecoglou said he had made some mistakes in the team selection.

Heading into this tie, three points are massive for both clubs. If Celtic emerge victoriously, they will extend their lead at the top to six points, whereas if The Rangers win, they will draw level with Celtic. However, the Parkhead club have a much superior goal difference, so will remain at the top of the table.

Where and When

Celtic travel to Ibrox for the noon kick-off.

How to Watch

Sky Sports Main Event is showing the game live for viewers in the UK. For those abroad, Celtic TV is showing the game.

Referee

William Collum will referee the encounter. Graeme Stewart and David Roome will run the lines, with Nick Walsh standing between the dugouts. 

Squad News

Celtic will welcome Kyogo back to the matchday squad as he looks to complete his comeback from injury. He’s in contention to start. The only injury news for Celtic is concerning James Forrest, who is nursing an injury he picked up against Ross County.

For The Rangers, their star man Alfredo Morelos is out for the match. Roofe will likely take his spot in the team.

Predicted Line-Up

Many fans are expecting Giakoumakis to lead the line. However, I think Ange Postecoglou will turn to Kyogo. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s thrown a curveball ahead of a big match if he does this. Apart from that major talking point, the team picks itself.
