Senior player axed for huge fixture: Celtic expected XI v Rangers

GOALKEEPER AND DEFENCE

Dorus de Vries (Goalkeeper) – Expected to keep his place in the starting line-up in what will be another huge test for a player who has failed to impress so far in most of the big games he has played for the Hoops

Kristoffer Ajer (Centre-back) – Has been solid since becoming a first-team regular in the side, he is arguably the in-form defender at the club and the 19-year-old won’t be phased by playing at Ibrox

Marvin Compper (Centre-back) – Expected to keep his place in the team after his debut against Morton, will have a face tougher test at Ibrox then he did against Morton but he has the experience not to be overawed

Jozo Simunovic (Centre-back) – Another player who, just de Vries, needs to have a big game to the get the fans on his side, has generally played well against Rangers in the past, it’s the other teams he has struggled against
