Sead Haksabanovic will MISS Celtic's clash with Rangers as Ange Postecoglou delivered more positive news on Greg Taylor.
The Hoops attacker should return after the Old Firm derby after a scan showed up nothing major. He's been training as normal with his team-mates but is not at 100 per cent fitness wise so will be given the opportunity to rest up and return to his full levels.
It's better news on Taylor who has trained and should be fine for the trip to Ibrox. Michael Beale is yet to taste defeat at Rangers with four wins from four games. It will be his first derby as the main man at Ibrox after previously experiencing them as Steven Gerrard's No2. His side trail the league leaders by nine points ahead of kick-off. Speaking to Sky Sports, Ange said: "Sead's not too bad, we had a scan but it's nothing major.

"He'll probably miss Monday but we're kind of hoping that'll be it and he'll be back into it.
"He's a bit frustrated because he's been training, but not at 100 percent, so we'll give him a chance to get back to full fitness."
On Taylor, he added: "He's fine, trained this morning and will have a training session tomorrow as well."
Celtic's relentless form hasn't allowed Rangers to claw back any distance between the duo at the top with the champions also boasting a 100 per cent record since the top flight return.
They make the trip to Govan off the back of a thumping 4-0 win over Hibs at Easter Road and have a record of 18 wins and just one defeat in the Premiership at the half way stage.
