Old Firm Derby
Celtic midfielder Neil Lennon is suspended for the Scottish Cup third-round tie at Parkhead.
Didier Agathe returns after almost six weeks on the sidelines and Chris Sutton has recovered from the virus that he was struggling with last weekend.
Rangers include new signings Thomas Buffel and Bojan Djordjic in their squad, although neither player is expected to start the game.
Nacho Novo returns from suspension, but winger Peter Lovenkrands is still out.
A Henrik Larsson goal was enough to see off Rangers at the quarter final stage last season.
And Rangers do not have a good Scottish Cup record at Celtic Park.
Ally McCoist and Jorg Albertz were on target in a 2-1 semi-final win at the home of their great rivals in 1998.
On that occasion, Celtic Park was deemed a neutral venue and you have to go all the way back to 1903 to find a Rangers success in the earlier rounds.
i predict a 2-1 win for Rangers
