Celtic will head over to Govan this morning into a cesspit of hate, bigotry, racism and the odd lunatic’s pitch invasion. Much has been made of ticket allocations but this would be the most sickening defeat to the Ibrox side if Celtic can manage a win.

It’s quite clear Dave King has realised he is out of his depth trying to recruit a manager to replicate what Brendan Rodgers has done at Celtic. So he pulls out his dirty tricks book. What will he do if that doesn’t work?

Nothing can be taken for granted in these games, man for man Celtic have the better players all over the park. Celtic have shown this season that doesn’t always guarantee 3 points.

The big news today will be that Mikey Johnston will start up front with Edouard on the bench. Kieran Tierney who was a major doubt also makes the bench. Everyone was raving about Edouard’s contribution midweek against Aberdeen, most Celtic fans would have expected him to start today. In saying that Mikey Johnston showed incredible character, bravery, and ability when been called upon to step up to the plate.
