Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has selected his side and substitutes to take on rivals Rangers at Ibrox in a league clash this afternoon.

 

Heading into the Glasgow derby Celtic boast a three-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, while they also hold a far superior goal difference to Rangers; even defeat today would see the Bhoys remain top of the pile.

 

 

The Bhoys head into today’s game on a run of four straight league wins, during which time they have only conceded a single goal.

 

They also crushed Rangers the last time the two sides met, winning 3-0 at Celtic Park with a dominant performance which they will hope remains fresh in their rivals’ minds today.

 

 

Postecoglou picks Joe Hart in goal today, while at the back he goes with Josip Juranovic and Greg Taylor as full-backs, with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt in the centre.

 

In midfield, Celtic field Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate and Tom Rogic, while Jota and Daizen Maeda support Georgios Giakoumakis.

 

Postecoglou has options on the bench if he wants to shake things up, including Liel Abada and Nir Bitton.

 

Celtic are without James Forrest and Kyogo Furuhashi today.
