Defender axed in Rodgers 4-5-1: Celtic best possible XI v Rangers
COMMENT
There is no team that Celtic fans would love to clinch their seventh league title in a row against than Rangers, and the Hoops will have the chance to do this for the first time since 1979 with a win against their oldest rivals at Celtic Park on Sunday.
The Bhoys had the chance to clinch the title against Hibernian last week but turned in an insipid performance in a 2-1 loss, and there is no chance than fans will accept similar against the Bhoys' most bitter rivals.
The Hoops will go into the game as huge favourites, particularly after the 4-0 Scottish Cup win over the Gers earlier this month, but Brendan Rodgers will not be taking anything for granted, as derbies are notoriously unpredictable to predict.
The Hoops are by far the better team though, and if they play to the best of their abilities then they may well be celebrating another title won at full-time.
The Hoops should make three changes from their starting line-up that faced Hibernian.

GOALKEEPER AND DEFENCE
Craig Gordon (Goalkeeper) - Should keep his place in the first-team despite making an error which lead to a goal for Hibernian as Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers rates him over Scott Bain.
Mikael Lustig (Right-back) - Should replace defender Jack Hendry, who must be axed. The veteran has just returned from injury but is a better bet than Hendry as he is an actual right-back who will be playing in his correct position.
Dedryck Boyata (Centre-back) - Should keep his place in the team despite a series of poorish performances, there shouldn't be much doubt that the Gers will target him as the weak link of the team.
Kristoffer Ajer (Centre-back) - Should be a key man for the Hoops as he as been one of the best players for the Bhoys in recent months, he was unlucky not to win a YPOTY nomination this week.
Kieran Tierney (Left-back) - Should be getting up and down the wing for the Bhoys as he has the ability to play as well in defence as he does in attack, perhaps an outside bet for a goal even.

MIDFIELD
Scott Brown (Central-midfield) - Should be dominating the midfield for the Bhoys as he is one of the best players on the pitch before he is named as Scotlands' POTY later on Sunday night, capping a fine season.
Olivier Ntcham (Central-midfield) - Should control the midfield with Scott Brown, he absolutely destroyed the Gers in the two matches between the sides recently, they couldn't cope with his powerful displays.
Tom Rogic (Attacking-midfield) - Should be a starter as he has such an excellent record against the Gers this season, scoring three goals so far and you wouldn't bet against him adding to that tally.
Callum McGregor (Left-wing) - Another player, similar to Tom Rogic, who has an excellent record against the Gers and should do plenty of damage from midfield if he is given the chance and the space.
Patrick Roberts (Right-wing) - Should replace James Forrest, if he is on his game then he is more than capable of causing the Gers defence plenty of problems, a potential match-winner for the Bhoys.

FORWARDS
Moussa Dembele (Striker) - Should replace Leigh Griffiths, has dominated in the last two games against the Gers and should be looking for more goals in a likely Hoops title celebration on Sunday.
