Rangers will welcome fierce rivals Celtic to the Ibrox Stadium in their Scottish Premiership second-phase match on Saturday.
The visitors lifted the league title for the second season in a row last week, as goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Oh Hyeon-gyu helped them to a 2-0 away win over Hearts. They have an unassailable 13-point lead over the hosts in the league table with just four games left to play.
Rangers returned to winning ways last Sunday as Todd Cantwell's 64th-minute strike helped them secure a 1-0 home win over Aberdeen. They are assured of a second-place finish this season and will be looking to spoil the visitors' party a bit by recording a win.
