Celtic star Patrick Roberts insists Rangers hold the advantage this weekend due to the home fixture.
Celtic and Rangers fans
Rangers host Celtic this weekend for the third time this season as they look to beat their rivals for the first time in six meetings this season.
Two of the matches have taken place at Ibrox, with Rangers losing both.
Despite this poor record against their opponents, Rangers still hold the advantage this weekend according to Celtic star Patrick Roberts.

He told the club’s official website: “We’ve been completely dominant and we have to be that way going into every game. They’ll have the advantage with it being at Ibrox this time, but it’s down to us to keep our head and play our own game.
“We’ll get our own fans up for it and try to get the best result that we can. We did that on New Year’s Eve and we rose to the occasion brilliantly.”

Celtic won that game 2-1, and were victorious in the League Cup semi two months earlier with a 1-0 scoreline.
Rangers know this is their last shot at ending Celtic’s unbeaten record and will be going all out to get the victory, but there is only one team which has an advantage heading into the match and that is Brendan Rodgers’ side.
If Celtic take the lead it is hard to see a Rangers team with fragile confidence coming back to beat the champions, especially just one week after another cup semi-final loss.
