Hello and welcome to coverage of this highly unusual Old Firm derby. Without supporters, the usual raucous atmosphere will be missing, but with champions Celtic and leaders Rangers the only unbeaten teams in the Scottish Premiership and with the opportunity to inflict an early psychological blow on their opponents in the title race, there promises to be drama at Celtic Park.

    Celtic have won seven straight games since a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock on the opening day, placing them second in the table behind Gerrard's men, although they have a game in hand over Rangers.

    There are no big surprises in Steven Gerrard's selection. He makes four changes from the victory over Ross County, with goalkeeper Allan McGregor restored to the team, Filip Helander comes in for Forlarin Balogun in defence, Steve Davis replaces Ryan Jack in midfield and Jordan Jones makes way for Brandon Barker.

    Celtic are missing Odsonne Edouard, Nir Bitton and Hatem Abd Elhamed, all of whom tested positive for Covid-19 after the international break, while Ryan Christie is self-isolating. It's a back three for Celtic, with Stephen Walsh making his Old Firm debut. Patryk Klimala leads the line in the absence of Edouard. Leigh Griffiths starts on the bench.
