Brendan Rodgers will be keen to ensure his second victory over Rangers while in charge of the Hoops when the two sides meet.
The Celtic Park side are continuing where they left off in the current Scottish Premiership and the return of Rangers to the league hasn’t appeared to have an effect on their run at the league title.
The Scottish giants are currently four places above Rangers with a game in hand, while also sitting four points in front.
In other Celtic news, Rangers fans are fearful on Twitter of a similar scoreline happening when they face the Hoops.
