The Bhoys have had a mixed season so far and Brendan Rodgers will be looking to piece the team together to his liking.
The Hoops lead the Scottish Premiership table by eight points, but if Rangers win the game, the gap will only close to two points.
Matt O’Reilly and Kyōgo Furuhashi have performed well this season, but Rodgers will be concerned about the inconsistent form of his other strikers.

He’s still a guy with a lot of potential, but he underperformed under Falke.
A move to Celtic Park could be ideal for his development.
