Celtic take on Rangers in the Scottish Premiership this weekend. The home side will be looking for revenge after Rangers beat them 3-0 in the Scottish League Cup last weekend.
Despite Rangers beating Celtic in the cup, the Hoops have dominated in the SPFL. They have won all six games so far, scoring 14 goals and conceding just three.
The away side are already five points behind their rivals in the division, but a win could reduce the gap to two points, so this game is massively crucial for both sides.

Celtic vs Rangers betting tips
Celtic take on Rangers this Sunday at 12pm. Our betting expert has analysed the key stats and form lines, so read on for the thinking behind his selections.
Celtic to make home form count
Celtic go into this as favourites at Celtic Park, but the Old Firm rarely delivers a thrashing, and that’s what makes our first betting tip more interesting than the straight home win.
Rangers have too much quality to be dismantled, but with them five points behind their rivals in the league, they will have to commit bodies forward at some point in a fixture they cannot afford to lose. The last three meetings at Celtic Park have finished with a two-goal margin, with Celtic winning 3-1 on two of these occasions.
With Rangers forced into the kind of open game that suits Celtic far more than it suits them, expect them to dig in for the first twenty minutes or so, but the longer this stays level or close, the more risk they will have to take.

Hogh to shine at Parkhead
Celtic spent a club record £11m on Kasper Hogh this summer, and matches like the Old Firm derby are the games in which he has to show that he is worth his price tag.
His record in Norway was not in doubt, with 53 goals in 102 appearances, while he has managed three goals in three league appearances so far, so he isn’t a striker who needs many sights of goal.
Rangers have conceded only four goals in the SPFL, but they haven’t yet faced a side that will pin them back the way Celtic will on Sunday, and their record in this fixture at Celtic Park is a different matter to their record elsewhere. If Celtic get on top early, as they usually do here, Hogh is the player to capitalise.
