Here is how we predict Celtic and Rangers will line up this weekend:

To be played on Sunday 12th March 2017 at 12:00. Venue: Celtic Park,

Odds: Celtic 4/11, Draw 19/5, Rangers 7/1

Celtic welcome Rangers to Celtic Park this weekend for their latest Scottish Premiership clash and both sides will be desperate for the victory, albeit for very different reasons.

The Bhoys are running away with the league this season and are 27 points clear of second-placed Aberdeen and 33 clear or Rangers as things stand.

Celtic are going to win the league at a canter, but Rangers will know they can make a statement if they secure a famous victory against a team that has already put them to the sword three times this season.

This is also a warmup for the Scottish Cup semi-final so there is more than bragging rights and three points at stake; whoever wins could take a psychological advantage into that clash.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers should welcome Patrick Roberts back into the starting line-up after his brilliant second-half performance last time out, with Gary Mackay-Steven dropping to the bench in the process.
