Early chance gor Rangers, as James Tavernier sweeps the ball across the six yard box and Josh Windass almost makes contact.

And we're off....

Kick off in both tonight's Premiership games is just a heartbeat away...

Rangers make two changes to the side that lost to Dundee, with experienced defender Bruno Alves and attacking midfielder Carlos Pena coming into the starting line-up. Alfredo Morelos drops out completely due to injury, while Daniel Candeias moves to the bench.

Aberdeen make one change to the side that beat Kilmarnock in their last outing, with defender Kari Arnason replacing midfielder Gary Mackay-Steven.

Rangers caretaker manager Graeme Murty, speaking to RangersTV: "Something has to change. Talking to the staff and my own thoughts, in big games you need big players to step forward. So I've given an opportunity to different people to put a performance in.

"It will be a great atmosphere, a spicy game, there will be challenges flying in and markers to be laid down. Hopefully we come out on top.

"The atmosphere will be there. Every time you come to Ibrox there’s an amazing atmosphere. We need to harnass that and give them something to get behind. If we do, these nights turn into special occasions.

"I expect Aberdeen to be confident, to want to win the game, to be organised, physical, tough, and a really good challenge but I said to the players, it’s a fantastic opportunity to put a marker down for where we want to be.

"[Morelos] was close, but it’s come too soon. It’s a contusion on his hip, so it’s not fair to expect him top be back so soon."

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "It’s important not to make too many [changes]. Two or three is okay but if you go beyond that you risk breaking that run. It's still a very strong team even though we make the changes.

"[Roberts] is a brilliant player, he’s been unfortunate that he was out with his hamstring. He’s worked very hard to come back fit. We need to get him game time, that’s very important for us. Moussa’s out with a bad knock on his ankle, and may be fit for the weekend. That gives Griff a chance to come in.

"The wee bit of controversy around [Celtic being awarded a penalty], I’ve known Scott Sinclair since he was 16. You can put two people on him and if he has a chance of scoring he’ll stay on his feet. It was a penalty. It’a harsh on Motherwell, of course, but he gets impeded, it’s a foul. If he thinks he can stay on his feet and score, he’ll do that.

"He was impeded, he felt there was contact that unbalanced him when he was running that quickly. The [match officials] felt it was a goalscoring chance and [Kipre] was off, so it was a double whammy [for Motherwell]. It’s a really honest group, like Motherwell are."

"Celtic are a top class football team," Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson tells BBC Sportsound. "They might have gone on and won 3 or 4-0 [in the League Cup final before Cedric Kipre conceded a penalty and was sent off]. We don't know that, but we were in the game. We were very much in it and we need to be on our game (tonight) and have the same organisation and, hopefully, carry more of a forward threat."

Earlier this week, Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson said he won't "waste time and money" appealing against Cedric Kipre's League Cup final red card.

The French defender was ordered off after appearing to pull Scott Sinclair inside the box in the 2-0 loss.

"We've appealed numerous decisions and wasted a lot of time and money if I'm being honest," Robinson said.

"We're over it now and what bigger game [against Celtic tonight] to get yourself back up for it?
