Celtic - Rangers: Form Analysis
Celtic won 3-0 against Hearts last time out, for their third win in a row. In fact, with seven wins out of nine, Celtic seem to have found their rhythm back. With a three-point lead at the top and their positive goal difference, Celtic are the team to beat. They can take a major step towards the title with a win, something they have done in 13 of their last 17 league matches. The hosts have lost only two matches this league campaign, and both came in the month of December. The improvements in form have coincided with their surge at this venue. Celtic have won seven of their last eight home league games, drawing the other. These sides have met three times this season, winning two and drawing one. The 3-3 draw in the month of April came away from home, where Celtic failed to hold on to a 2-0 lead.
Rangers start this round in second place, three points behind their hosts. Crucially, their goal difference is five goals inferior to Celtic. Even in the event of a win, they may not be able to track down their rivals, as the hosts have a better goal difference. A win of any magnitude will do for the Gers, who are coming off a 4-1 win over ten-man Kilmarnock. Yet, that was just their third win across the last seven league games, highlighting their inconsistencies. These seven matches saw them score 14 goals, so at least there will be some goalmouth action for the visiting fans. Rangers will look to settle down and target their recent away record, having lost, drawn, and won one away Premiership match each.

Celtic & Rangers Squad Analysis
Brendan Rodgers doesn't have many injury problems to contend with in the squad, with even Daizen Maeda set to return for the hosts. Rangers' boss Philippe Clement, on the other hand, has a few injuries hampering his selection for this trip. Abdallah Sima and Ryan Jack are likely to miss out for the visitors, while Connor Goldson’s season is over after suffering a knee injury in training. Doubts also remain over the availability of Leon Balogun.
