The two sides meet for the third time this season, and while Celtic have had the upper hand over Rangers in recent meetings winning their last four, their record at Ibrox has been more mixed.

Celtic drew 3-3 at the end of last season, winning at Ibrox the previous September, and losing 3-0 in May the season before.

Nevertheless, Brendan Rodgers' men must feel confident of crossing the divide and leaving with all three points considering Rangers' struggles this term.

The title race is is good as over with the Bhoys 14 points clear as we approach the halfway stage, and Rangers' biggest priority right now might be doing what they can to deny their arch-rivals an unbeaten season.

While Rangers come into the game on the back of a 2-1 loss to St Mirren and having to come from 2-0 down to rescue a point at Motherwell, their record at home has been formidable.

The Gers have won eight of their nine games at home this term, drawing the other, and will hope top scorer Vaclav Cerny can fire them to victory after starting from the bench against Motherwell at the weekend.

While Celtic have goals all over the pitch, if Rangers are to get anything from the game, they'll likely have to keep Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn and Kyogo Furuhashi quiet, particularly after the latter scored in their previous league meeting and the former scored at Hampden in the League Cup final.
