Celtic team news as Ange Postecoglou rings changes for Rangers clash

Ange Postecoglou has made a host of changes to his Celtic side to take on Rangers.

The Parkhead boss has handed starts to Anthony Ralston, Yuki Kobayashi, Alexandro Bernabei and Oh Hyeon-gyu at Ibrox.

Ralston and Kobayashi were expected starters with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston out through injury.

However, there may be some surprise at Bernabei being given a chance to impress with Greg Taylor on the bench.

It means Celtic have a much-changed backline in front of Joe Hart comprising of Ralston, Kobayashi, Carl Starfelt and Bernabei.

Callum McGregor captains the side in midfield alongside Reo Hatate and Matt O'Riley.

Liel Abada also starts at Ibrox with Jota on the opposite wing looking to supply central striker Oh.

CELTIC XI: Hart, Ralston, Kobayashi, Starfelt, Bernabei, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Abada, Jota, Oh.

SUBS: Bain, Taylor, Kyogo, Haksabanovic, Turnbull, Iwata, Maeda, Forrest, Summers.

RANGERS XI: McCrorie, Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Ridvan, Lundstram, Jack, Raskin, Cantwell, Matondo, Fashion Jr.

SUBS: McGregor, Hagi, Kamara, Morelos, Arfield, King, Devine, Lowry, Lovelace.
