Ange Postecoglou has today given an update on the Celtic squad for tomorrow’s derby against Rangers.

The champions are in Govan looking to cap off a brilliant season against our rivals.

So far this campaign we’ve played Rangers five times, winning four and drawing the other.

We’ll be looking to make that five victories tomorrow but may have to do so without Aaron Mooy.

67 Hail Hail were at Ange‘s press conference earlier where he said: “James Forrest is available. He’s back training which is good.

“Aaron Mooy is a little bit touch and go for tomorrow. He’s just a bit sore from a couple of things so we’ll see how he is.

“Carter-Vickers, Johnston, Stephen Welsh will miss out. But everyone else is good to go.”

Carter-Vickers and Johnston are likely to me medium-term absentees so it is hardly a surprise to hear them miss out.

Mooy has been a huge player for us at times this season and he has seemed to be getting back to his best in recent matches, so the knock is unfortunate.

It is also encouraging to hear that Kyogo Furuhashi is all good after going off with a shoulder injury at Tynecastle.

There will be big tests for the likes of Anthony Ralston and Yuki Kobayashi tomorrow but both have already shown that they can deal with that kind of thing.

We’ll get Ange’s team for the final derby of the season at 11:15am tomorrow.
