Rangers team news v Celtic revealed as Ryan Kent makes it but Nathan Patterson ruled out

After a week of Covid chaos, the Rangers team to face Celtic in the first Old Firm clash of the season has been confirmed.

Steven Gerrard missed the midweek win against Alashkert after he was forced to remain in Glasgow.

Allan McGregor, Jon McLaughlin, Calvin Bassey, James Tavernier and Ryan Kent also stayed at home as the Gers booked their spot in the Europa League group stages.

Kent is the only one of those back, as are suspended duo Kemar Roofe and John Lundstram.

But the biggest game of the Premiership season so far is now upon them and Gerrard has more issues to deal with as Nathan Patterson also misses out.

Connor Goldson continues at centre back alongside Filip Helander with Leon Balogun and Borna Barisic in the full back positions.

Steven Davis and Glen Kamara continue to be mainstays in midfield when fit and available and they're joined by Joe Aribo to go up against Celtic's midfield.

Alfredo Morelos is an unsurprising starter up front and he's joined by Kemar Roofe and Ryan Kent in the front three.

It means there's a couple of strong options on the bench too with Ianis Hagi included there.

Rangers: McCrorie, Balogun, Goldson, Helander, Barisic, Kamara, Davis, Aribo, Kent, Roofe, Morelos

Subs: Wright, Lundstram, Arfield, Hagi, Bacuna, Itten, Sakala
