Rangers and fierce rivals Celtic meet for the fourth time this season as the battle for the Scottish Premiership title intensifies at Ibrox on Sunday (kick-off: 12pm).
Both sides lost ground in the title race last week, handing league leaders Hearts the initiative. Danny Rohl’s men rescued a late 2-2 draw with basement side Livingston, while Celtic suffered their first home league defeat under manager Martin O’Neill this season, with a 2-1 reverse against Hibs.
Those results left both sides trailing Hearts by four and six points respectively, and the enormity of this weekend’s game in Govan can not be understated, with pundits claiming whichever side loses will be out of the running to win the title.
Ahead of the game at Ibrox, The Scotsman has all the latest team news:

The DR Congo international is a forgotten man at Celtic, and has barely featured since making his debut at Ibrox earlier in the season. He's available for selection after missing the midweek game with Stuttgart with ineligibility, but is unlikely to play any part due to being completely out of the picture. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
