Celtic host Rangers at Celtic Park on Sunday in a fixture that could determine the direction of the Scottish Premiership title race. Brendan Rodgers' side currently holds a two-point lead at the top of the table after 27 matches. Rangers moved into second place following a 3-0 victory against Heart of Midlothian last weekend, according to Sky Sports.
Both squads face significant selection decisions ahead of the midday kick-off. Celtic midfielder Reo Hatate remains a doubt, while Rangers manager Philippe Clement monitors the fitness of several first-team players following their recent European commitments. The clubs are also scheduled to meet in the Scottish Cup semi-finals later this spring, per reporting by The Guardian.
Police Scotland confirmed that no away supporters will attend the match due to ongoing disputes regarding ticket allocations and stadium safety. This remains the third consecutive derby at Parkhead held under these restrictions. Officials expect a capacity crowd of 60,000 home fans for the encounter, which is the 439th meeting between the two sides.
