Celtic squad revealed as Iwata joins old familiars against Rangers but all might not be as it seems in starting XI

It was a case of two out of three ain't bad for Celtic on the injury front ahead of their clash with rivals Rangers.

Celtic are likely to welcome back Aaron Mooy after the Australian missed the last two games through injury, while Greg Taylor is expected to be fit despite going off with a knock against Ross County last weekend. Star man Reo Hatate is out, as well as James Forrest and Liel Abada still on the sidelines.

But how will Ange Postecoglou go about lining up his side? Expect some tweaks, perhaps, with Tomoki Iwata and Callum McGregor able to swap positions in the heart of the midfield. It's same for Jota and Daizen Maeda – a pair of wingers who can play on both sides.
