John Hartson on Rangers title maths that signals Celtic 'party day' but offers cautionary note over Ibrox reverse

Former Celtic striker John Hartson insists the title will be heading to Parkhead with a win over Rangers on derby day - but admits there is a way Michael Beale can "upset the apple cart".

Ange Postecoglou's men are heavy favourites to lift the Scottish Premiership crown as they prepare to face off against their Glasgow rivals on Saturday, with Celtic holding a nine point lead at the top of the table and a vastly superior goal difference.

The Hoops come into the showdown having only lost one league game so far this season with Postecoglou targeting a domestic Treble this term.

Across the city, Beale's only slip up since stepping into the hot seat at Rangers have come against Postecoglou's men - in the Viaplay Cup final during a late draw back in January.
