Celtic vs. Rangers (Saturday, 12.30pm)
The latest instalment of the Old Firm derby takes place at Parkhead on Saturday lunchtime, as Glaswegian giants Celtic and Rangers lock horns for a top-of-the-table clash in the Scottish Premiership.
While Ange Postecoglou is seeking to claim his third derby triumph of the season with the Hoops, Michael Beale is searching for his first as Gers head coach.
We say: Celtic 3-1 Rangers
While the pressure in on both sides to come out on top in the Old Firm derby, the onus is on Rangers to deliver the good when it matters on their rivals' patch if they are keep their slim title hopes alive.
The Gers pose the biggest threat to Celtic in the Premiership, but the Hoops have been flawless at Parkhead this term and the reigning champions should have enough quality in their side to claim maximum points, taking a huge step towards lifting the title.
