Rangers remain without Dujon Sterling and Ridvan Yilmaz, with several others — including Leon Balogun, Roger Fernandes, and Tom Lawrence — unlikely to feature. Ross McCausland is back from suspension but may start on the bench. Barry Ferguson is expected to keep faith with a 3-5-2 setup, led by Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane up front.

Celtic will again be without goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, meaning Viljami Sinisalo continues in goal. Hyun-Jun Yang is out, while Jota is doubtful after coming off injured against Dundee United. Brendan Rodgers is likely to stick with the side that has delivered consecutive 5-0 wins, featuring Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, Adam Idah, and Daizen Maeda in attack.

Rangers have won the last two Old Firm meetings, but Ferguson’s side are struggling for form and confidence. Celtic, meanwhile, are firing on all cylinders, scoring 15 goals in their last three matches and chasing momentum ahead of the Scottish Cup final. We expect the champions to underline their dominance with another derby win.

Prediction: Rangers 1-3 Celtic
