Barry Ferguson takes his side to Glasgow’s east end for the fourth meeting of the sides this season, the most recent of which ended in a 3-0 triumph for the Ibrox club.
This Sunday, we will see the reintroduction of away fans to the fixture for the first time in almost two years, with 2,500 Rangers supporters set to make the trip to Celtic Park.
Ahead of the match, a picture from inside the stadium has emerged, which shows increased security around the away end, where the travelling fans are set to be housed.
Indeed, netting can be seen separating the designated areas for Rangers and Celtic supporters:
Brendan Rodgers’ men will be keen for revenge on their city rivals after they suffered a 3-0 thrashing at Ibrox at the beginning of the year.
Speaking after his side’s 2-0 victory over Hibernian in the Scottish Cup on Sunday, the Celtic boss insisted his players will be fit and firing when Rangers come across the city: “We will be ready for the demands of that game,” he said.
“We will be ready for them next week like we were in the first game.
“Barry [Ferguson] will come with passion and professionalism and wanting to make a result here. But I do as well. So it will be a great game.
“We’ll look forward to it. And when it arrives, it will be brilliant.”
