So, Celtic have won the last two league meetings with Rangers. They last won three league derbies in a row within a single season in 2003-04, when they won all four fixtures.

Rangers won the opening derby of the season and the most recent meeting.

A Filip Helander header at Ibrox was enough to settle a tight contest at Ibrox in late August.

Last month's Scottish Cup semi-final was a Hampden thriller, with Rangers coming from behind this time as Scott Arfield cancelled out Greg Taylor's opener before a Carl Starfelt own goal in extra-time.

The Ibrox side had gone to extra-time just three days earlier to see off Braga in the Europa League but played with the greater energy and purpose at the national stadium for a deserved victory.

Remember, defending champions Rangers had a six point lead at the turn of the year, so Celtic's derby wins have been absolutely crucial in flipping the momentum.

Ange Postecoglou's side turned in their best 45 minutes of the season to race into a 3-0 half-time lead at Celtic Park on 2 February.

In just his fourth appearance for the club Reo Hatate scored twice, with Liel Abada also on target as Rangers were blown away.

At the start of April, Rangers got off to a flyer at Ibrox, with Aaron Ramsey netting after three minutes, but Tom Rogic soon replied and Cameron Carter-Vickers swept in the decisive goal before half-time.

The BBC Radio Scotland coverage is now up and running, with former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner and ex-Rangers winger Neil McCann joining match commentator Liam McLeod at Celtic Park.

You can tune in via the tab at the top of the page.

Rangers captain James Tavernier is one goal involvement short of his 100th in the Scottish Premiership.

In 200 league appearances since August 2016, the right-back has 45 goals and 54 assists.

Those numbers are frightening for a full-back.

Both sides have lost just three matches in the league, but Rangers have had more damaging draws than their rivals and Celtic have found a groove after a sticky start, motoring along with an unbeaten stretch of 28 games since September ((W24 D4).

Celtic can also boast 10 Premiership victories in a row on home soil.

With top scorers Alfredo Morelos and Kemar Roofe missing, Rangers used three different combinations in attack during the 90 minutes against RB Leipzig and had their best spell when Joe Aribo went through the middle.

“It would be easy to get carried away and think about the title but individually and as a team we have got the same focus to take each game as it comes,” said Celtic defender Anthony Ralston last week.

"It is a derby game, they are crazy and in these games there’s things that happen. We are all aware of that and we have all had experience of it through the course of this season.

"It’s a game that both sides want to win but we take all the craziness out of it and don’t let the noise of it all get involved.

“It comes with the experience of playing in front of these crowds and also it’s about focusing on our style of play and our football. That’s what will get us through regardless of anything else."

The manager may believe but while a Rangers win would keep the title race going, Celtic would then need to slip up twice in their remaining three matches given their 19-goal advantage.

Ange Postecoglou’s side host Hearts and Motherwell and travel to Dundee United in the season finale.

“We have the belief," Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst told Sky Sports last week. "This year it’s in the balance, two wins and two losses but we are six points behind.

"They have the advantage and we have to make sure we do everything we can to get the difference back to three.

"Otherwise it will be very difficult for us to become champions."

A bit of a surprise to see Tom Rogic on the Celtic bench? The Australian midfielder is having a stormer of a season and has scored in four of his last six league starts Rangers.

Rangers were in action on Thursday, losing 1-0 to a late goal at RB Leipzig in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.

The visitors freshen up the team by bringing in Scott Arfield, Steven Davis and Fashion Sakala, with Ryan Jack, Glen Kamara and Scott Wright dropping to the bench.

Alfredo Morelos, Kemar Roofe and Aaron Ramsey are absent with injuries, while Leon Balogun is suspended.

Celtic go with the same starting XI from last weekend's 2-0 success away to Ross County.

That means Georgios Giakoumakis and Tom Rogic remain among the substitutes.

Full-back Josip Juranovic is sidelined by a hamstring problem.

Celtic: Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.

Substitutes: Bain, Bitton, Rogic, Giakoumakis, Abada, Turnbull, McCarthy, Forrest, Welsh

Rangers: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Bassey, Barisic, Lundstram, Davis, Arfield, Aribo, Kent, Sakala.

Substitutes: McLaughlin, Jack, Kamara, King, Sands, Lowry, Wright, Diallo, Itten.

Are you ready for the fifth and final Old Firm instalment of the season?

Celtic enjoy a six point advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership, with four games remaining. The hosts also lead 2-1 in terms of league wins in this fixture this season.

Rangers simply have to win today if they are to have any chance of retaining the title and they will be buoyed by their recent Scottish Cup semi-final win at Hampden.

The big derby is sandwiched between a Europa League semi-final for the visitors, while Celtic are solely focused on landing a 10th league crown in 11 seasons.

Let's crack on with the team news and build-up, shall we?
