Dembele leaves for Lyon. Boyata integrated in once more. Simunovic and Hendry both doubts. Compper and Morgan still injured. Mulumbu, Benkovic, and Okoflex all sign. Celtic looking for timely Old Firm boost.
Celtic are looking for a timely Old Firm boost this Sunday after confident 3-0 Europa League win over Suduva on Thursday night. It was a thoroughly impressive display, with the likes of Callum McGregor, Olivier Ntcham, and Michael Johnston all putting in starring performances.
Brendan Rodgers will be delighted with how his side reacted to the recent drama surrounding the club. The Hoops were never in any doubt against the Lithuanian Champions, and controlled the contest with minimal fuss.
Rangers arrive at Celtic Park under new management this Sunday. It's the first time Rodgers and Steven Gerrard have come face to face in the dugout. However, Celtic are unbeaten in all of Rodgers' 11 Old Firm matches.
Celtic will be without Old Firm talisman Moussa Dembele for the visit of Rangers. The Frenchman signed for Lyon for just under £20million on deadline-day, and this leaves Celtic with a massive gap to fill for Sunday.
Jack Hendry, and Jozo Simunovic are both doubts ahead of the weekend. Edouard is available however after training during the week and recovering from his earlier knock.
Marvin Compper and Lewis Morgan are still sidelined.
Celtic signed Youssouf Mulumbu, Filip Benkovic, and Armstrong Okoflex before the deadline. However, neither are too likely to feature on Sunday. Benkovic's arrival is also just a season-long loan deal from Leicester City.
Celtic have scored in seven of their last eight matches. Haven't lost at Parkhead to Rangers since 2010.
