The time for talk is almost over as Rangers and Celtic prepare to renew hostilities for the first time this season.
The bitter Glasgow rivals have both made unblemished starts to the Premiership season but something's got to give at Ibrox.
Rangers have won the last two clashes on their own turf and come into the clash boosted by a dramatic Europa League win over Legia Warsaw.
But Celtic too enjoyed similar Euro success and have also added Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi to their ranks on loan.
It's all set to be a derby classic but who will come out on top - Steven Gerrard or his counterpart Neil Lennon?
Here, Record Sport 's writers make their predictions.
MICHAEL GANNON
Strap on the seatbelts, this could be a cracker. Celtic’s injury hit back like will be stretched to the limit by Rangers’ on form attack.
But the Parkhead side’s firepower means the game could be a classic.
Rangers 3 Celtic 2
GAVIN BERRY
Home advantage has proved crucial since away ticket allocations have been slashed and with little between the sides that can be enough to see Rangers edge it.
Rangers 2 Celtic 1
GARY RALSTON
Rangers will take advantage of Ibrox and the feel good factor around the team following qualification for the group stage of the Europa League.
Rangers 2 Celtic 1
CRAIG SWAN
This could be an absolute corker. Both sides have goals in them and a high scoring thriller is very possible.
Rangers 2-2 Celtic
GORDON PARKS
It’s going to be nip and tuck but Neil Lennon’s side have the more potent attacking threats and it could come down to which side are more clinical. The likes of Odsonne Edouard and James Forrest will give the Hoops the edge by the odd goal.
Rangers 1 Celtic 2
DAVID McCARTHY
Rangers have the bit between their teeth, are strong defensively and will have the backing of all but 800 Celtic fans.
They can put down a marker by winning the game.
Rangers 2 Celtic 0
EUAN McLEAN
Rangers have momentum and home advantage but it would be folly for their fans to underestimate a Celtic side accustomed to winning this derby. It’ll be tight but Gers might just edge it.
Rangers 2 Celtic 1
TONY HAGGERTY
No quarter will be asked for or given and neither side will want to concede ground in the Premiership title race.
It could all come down to whose middle to front functions better although the Hoops still look suspect at the back but I reckon we are in for a four goal thriller with honours even.
Rangers 2 Celtic 2
LIAM BRYCE
Much has been made of Rangers being favourites but this is a Celtic side who have always responded strongly to any tough questions asked of them domestically.
It'll be tight but they might just edge it.
Rangers 1 Celtic 2
MARK McDOUGALL
When Rangers are in full flow at Ibrox very few teams can deal with them and that’s going to be how Steven Gerrard’s side are on Sunday.
With Celtic’s defence in a bit of a makeshift state, Alfredo Morelos should have a field day.
As much as Celtic are good going forward, Rangers built on a more solid defence and that will be the big difference. Comfortable Rangers win.
Rangers 4 Celtic 0
