With three comfortable wins over Sevco already this season Celtic are expected to comfortably win Sunday’s Glasgow derby.

Brendan Rodgers side are just seven points away from clinching six-in-a-row with the pre-season boasts from Ibrox running especially hollow.

Since the December 31 win at Ibrox Mark Warburton has departed with another rookie, Graeme Murty, given the task of squaring upto Brendan Rodgers.

No one will be taking this game more seriously than the Celtic boss who demands nothing less than 100% from his 24 hour athletes.

With a huge squad to choose from any player that is short of their best will find themselves out of the side.

In every position Rodgers has strong competition for places with no favours granted as Dorus de Vries and Kolo Toure will testify to.

De Vries and Toure were in the Celtic side that won 5-1 in September but are now out of contention. With his side evolving and improving month by month Rodgers will put out a highly motivated team on Sunday looking to deliver the result that all home fans are looking for.
