Champions Celtic can secure league and cup double
Celtic lifted the Scottish Premiership title last weekend, finishing eight points clear of Rangers in second, and this recent success should spur on the Bhoys to complete the double over their bitter rivals on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers’ men have won three of the four Old Firm meetings this season and have also only lost one of their last 11 meetings with Rangers, winning seven of these.
The Gers have won just one of their last three matches and so form is not on their side going into this fixture - although Philippe Clement’s side have already tasted cup success this season with a 1-0 win over Aberdeen in the League Cup back in December.
Celtic’s recent dominance over their bitter enemies will be expected to continue this weekend however they will likely be made to work for victory. Three of the four meetings this season have seen both sides find the back of the net and a repeat of this feat could be in store before the Bhoys edge the contest.

O’Riley can end super season on scoresheet
Danish midfielder Matt O’Riley was voted Celtic’s Player of the Season after netting 18 goals and laying on 13 assists in the Premiership this season and the 23-year-old will undoubtedly be one of the primary goal threats for the Bhoys on Saturday.
O’Riley ended the season in scintillating form with eight goals across his last nine games in all competitions, while the Dane also netted in two separate meetings with Rangers this season and so will be more than confident that he can be the difference maker again.

Tavernier can come close for the Gers
Rangers also have a gluttony of attacking talent, with the likes of Cyriel Dessers and Abdallah Sima netting 27 league goals between them this season, and so will likely ask plenty of questions of the Celtic defence.
Talismanic captain James Tavernier will also be one to look out for going forward. The full-back registered 27 goal contributions this season while only striker Dessers has registered more shots on target than the 32-year-old.
