Rangers and Celtic face each other yet again on Saturday, this time in the Premiership, in what will be the final Old Firm clash of the 2022/23 season.
With Celtic already confirmed as the league champions, Rangers will be hoping to secure bragging rights against their local rivals with a win this weekend, with the Gers not able to win any silverware this season. Michael Beale's side will be without the likes of Filip Helander, Steven Davis, Tom Lawrence, Kemar Roofe, Ben Davis and Ryan Kent this weekend, with Ryan Jack, Antonio Colak and Borna Barisic all injury doubts.
For Celtic, Cameron Carter-Vickers misses out after his successful surgery. Alistair Johnston remains out while Aaron Mooy is touch and go to feature at Ibrox.

So, who will emerge victorious on Saturday lunchtime? We simulated the game to try and find out.
Rangers vs Celtic simulated
To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the Rangers and Celtic squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.
We predict that the Gers could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: McCrorie; Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Yilmaz; Lundstram, Raskin; Cantwell, Arfield, Matondo; Sakala.
We predict that the Hoops could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Hart; Ralston, Starfelt, Kobayashi, Taylor; Hatate, McGregor, O'Riley; Maeda, Kyogo, Jota.
Celtic started really well and were controlling the game with possession. But, after around 30 minutes, they hadn't really created any chances of note. And against the run of play, Rangers took the lead thanks to a stunning strike.
This goal turned the game on it's head, and Rangers were now in the ascendancy, looking like they could score with every attack.
Midfielder Nicolas Raskin but the Gers 2-0 up just before half-time, with another strike from just outside the area, with the 22-year-old grabbing his second of the game just after half-time, after a mistake by Carl Starfelt allowed the midfielder to tap home to make it 3-0.
Celtic were in complete disarray in defence, but they still managed to grab a goal back through Daizen Maeda, although it was too late in the day for any real comeback attempt.
FIFA 23 predicted score: Rangers 3-1 Celtic
FIFA 23 predicts that Rangers could grab a comprehensive win over the Old Firm rivals on Saturday, with Nicolas Raskin grabbing a brace. With Celtic missing key players in defence, they looked extremely shaky in this simulation, and will have to put on a strong performance to beat the Gers this weekend, if this prediction is anything to go by,.
