Rangers host Celtic at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow in the League Cup, with Derek McInnes's side looking to use home advantage against a Celtic team that has been in dominant Premiership form.
Martin O'Neill's Celtic arrive at Ibrox off the back of four straight Premiership wins, including a 3-0 defeat of Aberdeen and a 1-2 victory away at St. Mirren. Their domestic momentum has been hard to ignore.
Rangers have also found their stride in the league, winning their last four Premiership matches. A 1-0 win over St. Mirren on September 9 was the most recent of those, continuing a run that has kept McInnes's side firmly in contention.
Celtic lost midfielder Reo Hatate to Burnley on deadline day, and O'Neill has had to reshape his midfield options as a result. Whether that absence affects Celtic's rhythm in a cup tie at a hostile Ibrox remains to be seen.
The League Cup adds a separate dimension to this fixture. Both clubs have met four times already this season in various competitions, and the stakes in a knockout format sharpen the contest further.
