Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers will face Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby next weekend.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard and Brendan Rodgers
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told the club’s official Twitter page that Kieran Tierney and Odsonne Edouard will be fit for the Old Firm derby against Steven Gerrard’s Rangers at Ibrox next weekend.
The Hoops will take on Rangers in the Scottish Premiership next Saturday after facing Aberdeen away from home in the league next Wednesday.
Left-back Tierney did not feature for the Bhoys against Dundee at Celtic Park in the league today, and neither did forward Edouard.
The 21-year-old and the 20-year-old did not feature against Dundee due to injury issues, but Celtic manager Rodgers has said that the two youngsters will be fit for the match against Rangers.
Bad news for Rangers
Tierney is one of the best young left-backs in Europe, while Edouard is a very good young forward, and the two Celtic players’ availability for the match against Rangers is bad news for the Gers.
Although the Old Firm derby next weekend will be held at Ibrox next weekend, Celtic will fancy their chances of picking up all three points from the encounter given their recent form and if Tierney and Edouard start.
