Daizen Maeda has recently returned for Celtic in a boost for Rodgers, albeit it remains unclear as to whether or not he will be ready to start.

James McCarthy remains sidelined, but otherwise the hosts look to have a clean bill of health.

For Rangers, Abdallah Sima, Rabbi Matondo and Ryan Jack are all likely to miss out.

Connor Goldson will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury while Leon Balogun is also a doubt after being forced off against Kilmarnock, which should mean a rare start for Ben Davies alongside John Souttar in defence.
