Prediction: 2-1
Rangers
Celtic Park will be the centre of attention when Celtic and Rangers go head to head in the Old Firm derby on Sunday. The Hoops are eager to cement top position in the standings, but their bitter local rivals should not be written off just yet. Kyogo Furuhashi is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Michael Johnston and Maik Nawrocki continue to miss out with injuries.
The Gers, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 6-0 win over Ross County, but they will have a mountain to climb in the local derby. As Celtic emerged triumphant in each of the last four meetings with Rangers at Celtic Park, home win should be considered. Speaking of the away team, all Ridvan Yilmaz, Oscar Cortes, and Nicolas Raskin are out of contention with injuries, while Leon Balogun is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Tom Lawrence):
Tom Lawrence is a Welsh footballer who plays as a winger for Championship side Derby County. Born in Wrexham (Wales) on January 13, 1994, Tom Lawrence played for Everton and Manchester United during his youth career.
The 180-cm-tall footballer, though, made no more than one appearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League as he was immediately sent on loan to Carlisle United. The Wales international played for the likes of Yeovil Town, Leicester City, Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town as well before signing a contract with Derby County. Tom Lawrence’s main position is left winger, but he is used as both second striker and right winger as well.
The Derby County man made his Wales debut in November 2015 in a 3-2 loss to Netherlands. The highlight of his career is the goal he scored against Georgia in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. His preferred foot is right and he wears No. 10 jersey at Derby County.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
