Celtic will look to secure their seventh consecutive league title when they face Rangers in the Glasgow Derby on Sunday at Celtic Park.
Brendan Rodgers’ side suffered a minor setback in securing another title after losing just their third domestic game in the last two seasons.
Both Glasgow sides were in action again opposition from Edinburgh last weekend, as Celtic lost 2-1 to Hibernian, while Hearts were beat 2-1 by Graeme Murty’s men.
The two sides met less than a fortnight ago in a 4-0 rout as, the Hoops moved within 90 minutes from securing back-to-back trebles in next month’s Scottish Cup final.
In their four meetings this season, Celtic have scored nine goals, conceding just two ahead of the 12:00pm kick-off.
Celtic
Moussa Dembele was rested for the loss to Hibernian and will return to the squad while Mikael Lustig could also play with a broken toe.
Stuart Armstrong picked up a calf injury a fortnight ago but could return to action on Sunday.
Nir Bitton, Jonny Hayes and Michael Johnston are long-term absentees and will miss the rest of the season.
Rangers
Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace are suspended by the club for disciplinary reasons and won’t feature.
Declan John is also out with a broken hand, with Andy Halliday likely to deputise at left-back.
Wes Foderingham and defender Bruno Alves are both injured and not expected to feature.
David Bates damaged ankle ligaments in the 3-2 loss at Ibrox to Celtic last month and remains out.
Jordan Rossiter and Ryan Jack remain out with long-term injuries.
