Fixture: Celtic vs Rangers
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 12:30 UK time
Rangers manager Philippe Clement has picked his starting eleven and substitutes for this afternoon’s meeting with rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
Clement has had a massive impact since taking over at Rangers, winning the Scottish League Cup and closing the gap to leaders Celtic in the league.
The former Monaco coach though will be aware that this afternoon could represent the biggest test of his Rangers’ reign so far.
The Gers are without attackers Danilo and Kemar Roofe, reducing Clement’s options in the final third.
Rangers have Jack Butland in goal, while at the back Clement goes with James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Leon Balogun and Ridvan Yilmaz to keep things tight as a back four.
In the engine room, Rangers look towards John Lundstram and Dujon Sterling to control the game, while Todd Cantwell, Ross McCausland and Abdallah Sima will look to support Cyriel Dessers.
Clement has options on the bench if needed today and they include Sam Lammers and Scott Wright.
Rangers Team vs Celtic
Butland, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Yilmaz, Lundstram, Sterling, Cantwell, McCausland, Sima, Dessers
Substitutes: McCrorie, Souttar, Lammers, Cifuentes, Matondo, Dowell, S Wright, King, Devine
