Last Sunday Allan McGregor picked up a red card that sees him ruled out for three matches with Wesley Foderingham coming in on Sunday for his first league appearance of the season.
Bizarrely the SFA fined Celtic £7,500 for their role in the confrontation after the last derby match despite Scott Brown successfully appealing against a charge of ‘not acting in the best interests of association football.
Kevin Clancy will take charge of his first Glasgow derby on Sunday with Douglas Ross one of his assistants, the third time running that he will be on the line for this fixture.
Having hosted his pre-match media conference on Thursday Steven Gerrard won’t be able to reply to Lennon’s comments until his pre-match interview with Sky Sports on Sunday.
