Ange Postecoglou has named his starting XI for the Ibrox derby..
The champions enter today’s game knowing that a win would put them 12 points ahead.
They currently lead the Premiership by nine points over their hosts.
On the other hand, they will be well aware that a victory for Michael Beale’s men could resurrect the title race, so the Hoops will need to be at their best.
Alistair Johnston, a Canadian international, makes his debut in the city showdown.
Reo Hatate, who had played right back in the previous two games, returns to the midfield..
Postecoglou makes two changes from the side that defeated Hibernian 4-0 at Easter Road in midweek, with Aaron Mooy dropping to the bench and Liel Abada and James Forrest replacing him..
Postecoglou’s team for the derby is as follows.
Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O’Riley, Forrest, Kyogo, and Maeda for Celtic.
Bain, Giakoumakis, Abada, Mooy, Jota, Kobayashi, Bernabei, Abildgaard, Juranovic are the substitutes..
