Here is how we predict Celtic and Rangers will line up for this weekend’s match:

To be played on Saturday 29th April 2017 at 11:00. Venue: Ibrox Stadium,

Odds: Rangers 7/2, Draw 14/5, Celtic 7/10

Rangers welcome Celtic to Ibrox on Saturday for their latest Scottish Premiership match.

The Gers will be smarting after their 2-0 defeat to the Bhoys in the Scottish Cup semi-final last time out, and Pedro Caixinha’s men will be hoping for a swift response now they have home advantage.

The last time the two sides met in the league a late Clint Hill goal secured a point for Rangers, and they have the talent to go one better this time out, especially with Celtic knowing they have already wrapped up the league and have nothing but bragging rights left to play for.

Some of Rangers’ players underperformed in the semi-final and it will be interesting to see who Caixinha picks this time round.

Rangers' Joe Garner celebrates

Joe Garner should be dropped after his awful showing at Hampden Park, while Joe Dodoo and Hill could return to the starting XI after starting on the bench last weekend.
