Rangers – Celtic Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Rangers vs Celtic lineups.
Rangers
Rangers failed to make the Champions League group stage after a humiliating 1-5 away loss vs PSV on Wednesday. It was a humbling experience and exposed the many defensive frailties Rangers have right now.
In the league, Rangers won their last 2 matches against pretty modest opponents. However, they started the new Premiership season with a shameful 0-1 away loss vs Kilmarnock.
Rangers struggle to control matches right now as their hard-working playmaker Davies remains out. Both Jack and Lundstram have been disappointing in his absence. As the former started on Wednesday it seems likely that now Lundstram will be picked from the off.
Predicted Lineup:
Butland (GK), Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Barisic, Raskin, Lundstram, Cifuentes; Cantwell, Sima & Roofe
Celtic
Celtic crashed out of the League Cup recently after a 0-1 defeat vs Kilmarnock. They used many fringe players in that match though and the defending champions are making a solid start to their league campaign (W2 D1).
Celtic lost the last edition of the derby in May but they won 4 of the previous 5 matches vs Rangers and the confidence remains high that the Green and Whites will prevail again in the next battle for Glasgow.
The options for the manager are seriously restricted with as many as 7 players ruled out due to injuries at the minute. Among them are the very useful Hatate and the star playmaker Kobayashi.
Predicted Lineup:
Hart (GK), Ralston, Lagerbielke, Scales, Taylor, O'Riley, McGregor, Turnbull, Abada, Furuhashi & Maeda
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Kyogo Furuhashi
Celtic’s top goalscorer from last season Kyogo Furuhashi has started the new campaign on fire too – 2 goals in 3 rounds. Kyogo scored 27 goals in 36 league matches last season. He played in all 3 league clashes vs Rangers too and scored the impressive 4 goals in those games. Can the unplayable Furuhashi do it again?
