Ange Postecoglou has numerous options after making nine changes for the midweek win over Ross County.

Alfredo Morelos returns to the Rangers squad for the trip to Celtic Park.

Tom Lawrence drops out with a reported knee problem while Ben Davies, John Souttar and Kemar Roofe remain out with unspecified injuries. Filip Helander is still absent with a foot problem and midfielder Ianis Hagi has been sidelined since January after suffering cruciate ligament damage.
