Rangers and Celtic meet for the final time this season in Sunday’s Old Firm derby at Ibrox.
The Hoops already have the Scottish Premiership title wrapped up under interim manager Neil Lennon, who ensured the Parkhead club made it eight in a row despite Brendan Rodgers’ mid-season exit.
Rangers are guaranteed to finish runners-up to their fierce local rivals, securing their highest placing since 2011/12 in Steven Gerrard’s debut season as manager.
Gers are not going to give Celtic a guard of honour before kick-off on Sunday, despite such a tribute being tradition for title-winning sides.
Celtic won when the two teams met at Parkhead in March, with Rangers having two men sent off and James Forrest netting the winning strike just four minutes from time. Ryan Kent was also given a retrospective ban for lashing out at Hoops skipper Scott Brown.
So there may be little to play for except bragging rights this afternoon, but still expect plenty of drama and entertainment at Ibrox.
But who has been selected to play? The confirmed Rangers vs Celtic teams are below…

The former Manchester United man was humbled in the 4-0 home defeat to LAFC FC two weeks ago in which he was sent off, and then, after battling the flu, he went goalless in last week's 3-2 win in Colorado.
