The team selection for Celtic’s last Glasgow derby of the season will be intriguing. Normally you would expect the Hoops to play their strongest team when coming up against their biggest rivals.
It may well be a different story on this occasion though. With the league won, the Hoops can afford to make a few changes. Maybe Neil Lennon will give some fringe players a chance.
From regular to outcast
One player who is worthy of being handed a rare start is Celtic loanee Oliver Burke. Burke, whose loan deal expires at the end of the season, has gone from being a regular in the side to a bit-part player.
Ironically though, the game at Ibrox could be suited to his style of play. You would have to imagine that Rangers will have more of the ball, as they are at home.
Therefore, the Hoops could be looking to hit on the break at times. Burke is the ideal man for that situation.
Biggest attribute could be used
His pace is his biggest attribute, and he could spark the Hoops into rapid fire counter attacks.
It seems highly likely that Burke will return to West Brom at the end of his loan spell with the Hoops. That does not mean that he can’t contribute in the final weeks of the season.
He is more than capable of making an impact in the games that lie ahead. He just needs to be given a chance.
