Rangers won't lose to underdog Celtic or anyone else this season but that ain't the biggest story - Hugh Keevins

Celtic will start as underdogs when they face Rangers on Wednesday night.

Second favourites to win on their own ground.

On a night when the only Rangers fans there will be in the away section of the directors box and on the television gantry.

How could it be any other way?

Ange Postecoglou will be without his captain and inspiration Callum McGregor and his top goalscorer Kyogo Furuhashi. Not to mention his most creative midfield player Tom Rogic.

I am on record here as saying I think Rangers will go through the remainder of this season without losing a game.

I would have tipped Giovanni Van Bronckhorst to get out of Celtic Park with nothing worse than a draw no matter who was playing for the home team.

But with half a team out due to injury and international football being played on another continent, the odds against Celtic winning are even greater.

Matt O’Riley made a wonderful debut in what was an outstanding win for Celtic at Tynecastle on Wednesday but he said on television afterwards that the atmosphere in Edinburgh was unlike anything he had ever known in the game before.

That means he faces two choices in what is the most keenly-awaited, and highest- profile, fixture of the season so far.
