Celtic and Rangers meet for the second time in a week on Sunday as the Old Firm rivals face off in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park.
The match comes just seven days after Rangers produced a commanding 3-0 victory over Celtic in the Scottish League Cup, with Dan Neil scoring twice and Kevin Kelsy also finding the net.
However, Celtic remain top of the Premiership table after winning all six of their league matches so far this season.
Rangers sit second on 13 points, five behind their Glasgow rivals after six games.
Celtic looking for a response
Martin O’Neill’s side will be determined to produce a very different performance after being outplayed at Ibrox last weekend.
Celtic have otherwise made a perfect start to their league campaign, including narrow victories over St Mirren and St Johnstone in their two most recent matches before Sunday’s derby.
Playing at Celtic Park could also provide a different setting after Rangers enjoyed home advantage in the League Cup meeting.

Rangers have momentum
Rangers will arrive at Celtic Park having won their last four league matches, including a 1-0 victory over St Mirren last time out.
Bojan Miovski scored the decisive goal in stoppage time to maintain their winning run.
Derek McInnes’ side will also have the confidence of their 3-0 cup victory, although Sunday’s match presents a different challenge with the Premiership leaders looking to restore their advantage at the top.
The Old Firm rivalry remains one of the defining fixtures in Scottish football, with the two Glasgow clubs meeting regularly across domestic competitions.
Prediction
The previous meeting demonstrated how quickly the balance can shift in an Old Firm derby, but Celtic’s perfect league record and home advantage should make this another closely-contested encounter.
Celtic should respond to last weekend’s defeat, although Rangers’ recent form means another comfortable result for either side would be difficult to expect.
Prediction: Celtic 2-1 Rangers
