Celtic welcome Rangers to the east end of Glasgow this afternoon on derby day.

The Glasgow derby has had many massive moments and entertaining clashes between the two sides and the city is all geared up for another frenetic 90 minutes or so of football.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are ready having trained well even if there are one or two Celtic injury doubts ahead of the powderkeg clash at Parkhead.

Rangers, meanwhile, are already spooked if Barry Ferguson’s comments in his pre-match press conference are anything to go by. So Celtic fans should be optimistic about their side’s chances in this one.

Confidence is high on the back of victories over Hibs, St Mirren and Aberdeen where Celts have notched 12 goals and conceded just three. And below 67 Hail Hail has all the information fans need to know ahead of the big one today.

Callum McGregor is the main discussion point in terms of Celtic potential injury problems. The captain has been nursing a calf issue and trained on his own this week in a bid to improve his chances of winning the fitness test expected late on.

Auston Trusty is also an injury rumour on social media channels with Liam Scales already ruled out. That would present Rodgers with a bit of a headache if accurate.

James Forrest is back in contention.

Referee and VAR for Celtic vs Rangers

Steven McLean is the man in the middle for this one. He will be supported by Graeme Stewart and Dougie Potter.

On VAR will be John Beaton with his assistant, Sean Carr.
