GOOD MORNING

And welcome to the live blog for Rangers vs Celtic!

We’re starting 2021 off with a HUGE Old Firm derby. Wouldn’t want it any other way!

Steven Gerrard’s Rangers are still unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership, and have a 16 point. Yes, 16 point lead over defending champions Celtic.

Celtic have won the Scottish Premiership for the last NINE seasons in a row and as it stands, Rangers may prevent them from making it ten.

The visitors could be without defender Christopher Jullien after he picked up a knee injury in the win against Dundee United.

James Forrest is still out for The Hoops, and boss Neil Lennon is unsure whether to start Vasilis Barkas between the sticks.

Odsonne Edouard – last seasons top scorer – will most likely start up front alongside Lee Griffiths.

For Rangers, Gerrard will be without both Scott Arfield and Nikola Katic.

And there could be an injury boost for the hosts with Ryan Jack possibly returning from a knee injury.

We will have the full team news shortly!
