The match, scheduled for a 12:00 pm kickoff, will be played without any away fans inside Celtic Park, a decision taken by the authorities after a protracted disagreement between the two Glasgow clubs over how tickets should be divided.
Rangers entered the fixture on the back of a 3‑0 victory at Ibrox a week earlier, a win that saw captain Dan Neil net a brace and marked new manager Derek McInnes’s debut in an Old Firm derby.
That triumph was the fifth consecutive win for the Gers, who have kept four clean sheets in the run and are looking to build momentum after a disappointing exit from the Conference League.
Celtic, meanwhile, are reeling from a 3‑1 defeat to Ferencvaros in their opening Europa League group game on Thursday, a result that has intensified scrutiny of manager Martin O'Neill. Despite the setback, the champions have won all six of their league matches so far and could stretch their lead to eight points if they secure a win today.
The derby will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports, with coverage beginning at 11:00 am BST on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football ahead of the noon kickoff.
