In a week where both Rangers and Celtic both crashed out of Champions League qualifying, the Old Firm rivals will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they clash at Ibrox on Sunday.

Pressure is already piling on new Gers boss Russell Martin, with the Light Blues drawing all of their first three Premiership games of the campaign.

While Celtic were stunned by Kairat Almaty in Champions League qualifying, Brendan Rodgers' side have at least won all of their first three Premiership matches.

Threatening to pull away from Gers in only the first few weeks of the campaign, the Bhoys will be eager to add to their city rivals' woes when they renew hostilities in Govan this weekend.

Team news

After a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Club Brugge in midweek, Martin might well shuffle the pack for Sunday's Old Firm clash.

Skipper James Tavernier could return to the starting line-up following Max Aarons' red card against Brugge, while Cyriel Dessers and loan starlet Mikey Moore are pushing for starting roles.

As for the visitors, Bhoys boss Rodgers will have to see if any players have struggled with the long-haul journey to Kazakhstan in midweek, but no fresh injuries are reported to have been picked up against Kairat.

The stats

Celtic are winless in any of their last four games against Rangers, while the Hoops failed to score in the first half of any of those matches.

Rangers have been held to draws in all of their first three Premiership games of the season, against Motherwell, Dundee and St Mirren.

Celtic are yet to concede a single goal after the first three rounds of Premiership fixtures.

Hoops forward Daizen Maeda scored in three games against Rangers last season.

An average of 12.5 corners have been taken across the last four meetings between these sides.

Prediction

Rangers look to be really struggling to adapt to Martin's methods and Sunday's lunchtime game could be a painful experience for the blue half of Glasgow.

Having leaked goals at an alarming rate against Brugge in midweek, weekend visitors Celtic side could run riot at Ibrox.

Meanwhile, the Hoops' strong defence means the hosts might struggle to get on the scoreboard in this high-pressure game.
