SNS GroupPhilippe Clement and Brendan Rodgers have named their Rangers and Celtic sides for the first Old Firm derby of 2025.
The team meets in a top-of-the-league clash at Ibrox, but Celtic hold a massive 14-point lead over their rivals in the Premiership table.
Rangers have only one win from their last five games and go into the clash with manager Clement under pressure. His task had been made tougher after the squad was hit with a series of defensive injuries in the run-up to the derby.
The Belgian has been forced to make changes and is hoping for a reaction from the players who take to the pitch on Thursday afternoon.
Liam Kelly starts in goal after Jack Butland suffered an internal bleed in his leg over new year.
With captain James Tavernier out and Leon Balogun not fit enough, the Ibrox side start with a back four of Jefte, Robin Propper, Dujon Sterling and Ridvan Yilmaz.
Mohamed Diomande and Nicolas Raskin anchor the midfield, with Nedim Bajrami, Ianis Hagi, and Vaclav Cerny playing in support of striker Hamza Igamane.
Celtic boss Rodgers has a much more settled side, though Auston Trusty has not made the starting line-up. The visitors start with Kasper Schmeichel in goal and a defensive line of Greg Taylor, Liam Scales, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnson.
Captain Callum McGregor is in a midfield trio with Reo Hatate and Paulo Bernardo, while Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn start either side of Kyogo Furuhashi in attack.
