Rangers host Celtic at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow in the League Cup, with Derek McInnes's side facing a Celtic team that arrives in sharp domestic form under Martin O'Neill.
O'Neill, who secured a permanent contract after guiding Celtic to the Premiership title last season, has his squad firing on all cylinders in the league. Celtic have won four of their last five matches across all competitions and head into this fixture off the back of a 1-0 Premiership win at St. Johnstone.
Rangers come into the tie with momentum of their own. McInnes's side have strung together four consecutive Premiership wins, including a 1-0 victory over St. Mirren on September 9, and will draw confidence from playing at Ibrox in front of their own supporters.
Celtic's summer was not without disruption. Reo Hatate, the Japan international who featured across five title-winning squads at Parkhead, completed a deadline-day move to Burnley, leaving O'Neill to reconfigure his midfield ahead of a packed schedule.
The League Cup adds a cup-tie edge to what is always a fiercely contested fixture. Both clubs know a win here carries weight beyond the result, with a place in the next round at stake and bragging rights on the line across Glasgow.
