Rangers youngster Jamie Ness will make his competitive debut for the club, coming in for the injured Steven Nasimith. Scotland forward Naismith has failed to recover from a hamstring strain. Walter Smith's side are otherwise unchanged from the side which thumped Motherwell on Boxing Day.
Celtic won't include new signing Freddie Ljungberg. The former Arsenal winger has been floored by a bug and doesn't even make the bench. "He picked up a virus on Friday evening and was in a pretty bad way with sickness and dehydration; it's a blow."
