Team’s Up – O’Riley and Mooy start

Ange Postecoglou has named his side for this afternoon’s game against Rangers. The Scottish Champions host their Glasgow rivals in the fourth meeting between the sides this season.

The teams have met twice in the Scottish Premiership already this season, with Celtic winning the previous fixture at Paradise 4-0 before a New Years draw at Ibrox. In the last meeting, the League Cup Final in February, Ange’s side won 2-1 thanks to a brace from Kyogo.

In goals, Joe Hart starts. The Englishman made a couple decent saves on the road at Dingwall as he kept a clean sheet.

The Englishman will start with a back four in front of him comprising of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt and Greg Taylor. The left-back has returned after being forced off against Ross County with a dead leg.

In midfield, Ange had named Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley and Aaron Mooy in the middle of the park. Celtic will need O’Riley and Mooy to match the energy levels lost by the injured Reo Hatate.

In attack, Kyogo starts through the middle, the Japanese star has three goals in two games against Rangers. On the wings, Jota starts on the right with Daizen Maeda on the left.

On the bench: Bain, Haksabanovic, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Iwata, Bernabei, Welsh, Vata
