Team Preview, Form and Standout Players

Rangers come into this game having drawn 2-2 away from one to St Mirren. Having gone into half time with the score at 1-1, Rangers would regain the lead seven minutes after the restart through Raskin. However, they would continue their struggles when it comes to seeing out games as the hosts equalised for the second time in the 73rd minute. With 2nd place all but secured Rangers don’t have much more to play for this season when it comes to the league standings.

Celtic recorded their third successive 5-0 victory as they defeated St Johnstone. Goals from McGregor, Idah, Jota and a brace from Maeda were enough to walk away with all three points. Celtic have already been crowned champions of the Scottish Premiership but will be wanting to defeat Rangers in the Old Firm to crown a fantastic season.

Daizen Maeda will be one to watch for this fixture. The Celtic forward has scored 16 goals and provided nine assists in 31 league appearances this season.
