Celtic name starting XI for Rangers clash - big calls made on Scott Brown, Greg Taylor and James Forrest

Celtic have named an unchanged side for the Old Firm derby against Rangers.

Interim boss John Kennedy has stuck by the 11 starters from the goalless draw with Dundee United two weeks ago.

It means captain Scott Brown is again preferred ahead of Ivorian midfielder Ismaila Soro, who started the last meeting of the Glasgow rivals at Ibrox in January.

Fit-again James Forrest makes the bench for a second game running, while Greg Taylor is also listed as a substitute on his return from injury.

The full Celtic bench is: Barkas, Taylor, Duffy, Bitton, Griffiths, Klimala, Soro, Rogic, Forrest.
