  5. Context: This derby is seen as a way for both teams to make up ground on league-leaders Hearts. Rangers sit in second place with Celtic two further points behind in third, but they do have a game in hand over both Rangers and the Scottish league pace-setters.
  6. What Danny Rohl has said: Rangers boss Rohl insists that his team are taking it one game at a time. He said: "Football is about now and the next game and not about the past. We are in a good position from the past games, but we are fighting for the next couple of weeks, and to be in two competitions, but step by step."
  7. What Martin O'Neil has said: The Celtic manager was in a reflective mood after his side crashed out of the Europa League, despite beating Stuttgart 1-0 in Germany on Thursday evening. He said: "We will make some changes to the side. But the players coming in are striving to be there on Sunday as well. You couldn’t get a better incentive, to be playing a European game and thinking, ‘If I perform here then I could be at Ibrox on Sunday.'"
  8. Team News: Rohl will be without Connor Barron and Bailey Rice, while Ryan Naderi is likely to only be fit enough to start the tie on the bench. O'Neil is without Arne Engels due to injury while Auston Trusty is suspended. Kelechi Iheanacho is a doubt and Callum Osmand is out with a long-term injury.
