The game will be played out in front of a capacity crowd at Celtic Park. The midfielder will feel that he needs to prove a point given impressive showings from Hatate and Mooy in recent weeks, especially with O’Riley reiterating his determination to get back to his best. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt will likely start in the heart of the defence, even with Moritz Jenz chomping at the bit for game time. Giorgos Giakoumakis’ future is up in the air with the Greek striker seemingly refusing to sign a new contract. Ange stated that there was a sickness bug going through the squad in anticipation of the game at Ibrox. Celtic won 5-0 down at Rugby Park back in August and will be looking for a performance as clinical as that afternoon.

A strike from Jota and an Ash Taylor own goal earned Celtic a 2-0 win against Kilmarnock, as the league leaders extended the gap between them and Rangers.

The shot appeared to take a deflection off Taylor before finding its way into the back of the net. The Japan international cut the ball back and Jota knocked it home from close range after Furuhashi had slid in front of Walker. However, Jota netted from close range in the final minute of the first half before Celtic added a second shortly after the interval. Reo Hatate overlapped Mooy and received a pass before sending in a low cross that was diverted towards goal by Furuhashi. The visitors lined up with five at the back and defended from the front to deny the Celtic midfield time on the ball. The referee, Nick Walsh, played on after a VAR check.
