Charlie Nicholas is backing Celtic to edge out Rangers in a pulsating derby thriller this weekend.
The Glasgow rivals will meet for the first time this season with both sides bang in-form - and the pundit expects goals galore. Celtic battered Dundee United in an astonishing 9-0 rout on Sunday, while Rangers smashed four past Ross County as they breezed back into domestic action after beating PSV to qualify for the Champions League last midweek.
Saturday's meeting at Celtic Park could hardly be more delicately poised as Ange Postecoglou and Giovanni van Bronckhorst prepare to pit their wits against each other again. Rangers were on the end of a bruising 3-0 defeat the last time they visited the home of their rivals but did win the previous meeting between the teams - a Scottish Cup semi-final victory at Hampden. And while Nicholas has tipped the Ibrox side to give a better account of themselves this time around at Celtic Park, he reckons the reigning champions' firepower will see them prevail.
