Reo Hatate suffers Celtic injury hammer blow but Greg Taylor and Aaron Mooy ARE ready for Rangers

Ange Postecoglou has Greg Taylor training ahead of Celtic's huge battle with Rangers but Reo Hatate will miss out.

Punters have been eager for updates on the influential duo, one of whom missed last weekend's win at Ross County and another who was substituted in the game. Aaron Mooy's return to training following a knock has been a welcome sight for boss Postecoglou but fellow midfielder Hatate has not been spotted in action since a suspected hamstring blow against Hibs prior to the international break.

Taylor meanwhile was out the Scotland squad with a niggle and looked to have shaken it off, but Dingwall proved a step too far, although he has been pictured training today – 24 hours before battle at Celtic Park. A win for Celtic over Rangers would put them 12 points clear at the top of the Premiership, a position that would appear unassailable with seven games to go after this weekend. And Postecoglou told Sky Sports one of his key men will make the fight, while one sits out: "Reo hasn't come up but Aaron is fine so from last week, the only change is Aaron's available.

"It is disappointing for Reo more than anything, he loves playing these games, he's had an impact every time he has. You get disappointed for the player and you want everyone available, but from a team perspective, we have depth in that area."
