Summary
Celtic host Rangers on Sunday looking to arrest a slump that has seen them lose 3-0 in the League Cup and 3-1 in Europe. Manager Martin O'Neill acknowledged the pressure but insisted his squad retains enough quality to turn things around, noting that even defeat would leave his side top of the league heading into the international break.
Rangers arrive in confident form following their comprehensive derby victory last weekend. Manager Derek McInnes warned against complacency, saying his team must replicate that intensity to avoid a swift reversal of fortune in the Glasgow rivalry. Yang Hyun-Jun remains with South Korea, while Celtic's Johnston and Osmand are sidelined through injury.
