Celtic are going to win their seventh title in a row. But there is a bit of a bright side for Rangers: just imagine the party when they win their next title, especially if it stops Celtic claiming nine or ten in a row. 11.24am BST An email! “What do you think of the fact Gerrard is apparently about to become Rangers manager?” says Gerry Scott. “Maybe its wishful thinking given I’m a Celtic fan but I suspect it is going to go very, very wrong for all concerned.”There’s certainly the potential for the highest farce.

Andy Halliday, who has such a nightmare at Hampden Park a fortnight ago, starts for Rangers in place of the injured Declan John.Celtic (4-2-3-1) Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, Rogic, McGregor; Edouard.Substitutes: Bain, Simunovic, Kouassi, Sinclair, Roberts, Griffiths. 8.55am BST Hello and welcome to live coverage of Celtic v Rangers from Celtic Park.
