Rangers have failed to win their last two home games in the Scottish Premiership, and it remains to be seen whether they can bounce back strongly vs their bitter arrivals Celtic in the Old Firm Derby on Thursday.
On the other hand, Celtic are in red-hot form right now, and they have picked up five wins from the last six league matches. The Hoops have won 22 of the last 24 league games, and they will be firm favourites to secure a victory here. The away side are already 14 points clear at the top of the table, and they will look to extend their lead and march towards the title.
On paper, Celtic are undoubtedly the team here, and it will be interesting to see if Rangers can step up and produce a strong performance here. The Hard Tackle takes a closer look at the encounter ahead of the latest meeting between the two sides.
The home side will be without John Souttar, James Tavernier, and Neraysho Kasanwirjo due to injuries. Other than that, Philippe Clement has a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of his side’s latest fixture.
Rangers are likely to shape up in a 4-2-3-1 formation vs Celtic, with Jack Butland in goal. Dujon Sterling and Jefte will start in the fullback areas, and they will look to keep things at the back and help out in the attack. Leon King and Robin Propper will start as the central defenders here.

As for the midfield unit, Mohamed Diomande and Nicolas Raskin will look to break up the opposition attacks and win the ball back for their side. Nedim Bajrami will start in the attacking midfield role, and he will look to create goalscoring opportunities for his side in the final third. Vaclav Cerny and Ianis Hagi will start in the wide areas. Hamza Igamane will lead the line for the home team.
