Celtic welcome fierce rivals Rangers for the first time this season as the two sides do battle in the crucial Scottish Premiership clash at Parkhead this Saturday (kick-off: 12.30pm).
Just three points separate the sides going into the clash following Celtic’s 2-0 defeat at Motherwell in midweek. The third defeat in new head coach Wilfried Nancy’s first five games in charge of the club, a loss in this weekend’s derby feels almost non-negotiable for the Frenchman.
On the opposite side of Glasgow, things are looking up for Danny Rohl and his Rangers charges following back-to-back wins over Motherwell and St Mirren in the last week. However, a win on enemy territory would really up the ante at Ibrox and boost hopes they can provide a genuine title challenge.
Ahead of the game at Parkhead, The Scotsman has all the latest team news:

3. Kelechi Iheanacho - Celtic - DOUBT
The Nigerian suffered a reoccurrence of a hamstring injury in the Premier Sports Cup final defeat to St Mirren, but is scheduled for a return in early January.

4. Dujon Sterling - Rangers - RETURN TO STARTING XI?
Was rested for the midweek win over St Mirren after his recent return from a long-term Achilles problem, but will be fit enough to start if needed, if Rohl chooses to recall him to the starting XI. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
