Good morning and welcome to the live commentary of the Old Firm derby clash between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium.
This will be the 409th meeting between the two sides, with Rangers holding a slight edge in terms of victories with 159 compared to Celtic's 151.
Celtic have held the recent advantage in the fixture, including their 5-1 drubbing of the Gers in their last contest at Ibrox in April.
Brendan Rodgers' men have made an imperious start to the term, dropping just two points in their opening six matches. The Bhoys have scored four goals twice in their last two matches, beating Hamilton and Ross County by comfortable margins. They're in prime form ahead of the contest.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Pedro Caixinha's are five points off the pace of Celtic in the early stages of the campaign. The Gers have lost only one of their opening six matches - a defeat at the hands of Hibernian. Rangers did need a late Graham Dorrans strike to draw 2-2 against Partick Thistle, but they did defeat Ross County and Dundee in their previous two fixtures.
Celtic subs: Bitton, Hayes, De Vries, Ntcham, McGregor, Dembele, Forrest.
Rangers have made three changes from their win against Partick in the League Cup during the week. Bruno Alves and Declan John miss out due to injury, while Jak Alnwick drops back to the bench. Wes Foderingham returns between the sticks, while Ross McCrorie makes his first start and Lee Hodson comes into the back four.
Celtic have made two changes from their win over Dundee. Stuart Armstrong comes into the midfield, while Jozo Simunovic starts in defence ahead of Nir Bitton.
The atmosphere is building inside of Ibrox as we approach kick-off this afternoon.
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: RANGERS 0-0 CELTIC
Tempers rise as the players head down the tunnel as Scott Brown and Pedro Caixinha clash on the sideline. However, the incident appears to have been resolved.
Rangers will be the happier of the two sides at the break, especially in light of their 5-1 hammering in this fixture last season. Celtic have threatened in the final third, but have lacked a clinical edge in the box. The Gers had a decent appeal turned down for a penalty after Alfred Morelos was brought down by Jozo Simunovic. It's a tense affair as usual, but it's goalless at the interval.
The players are back out for the second half, so we should be underway shortly.
FULL-TIME: RANGERS 0-2 CELTIC
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
Celtic continue their recent dominance over Rangers as goal from Tomas Rogic and Leigh Griffiths fire them to the victory this afternoon. The Gers had a couple of opportunities over the course of the contest, but Brendan Rodgers' men had the quality at the vital moments to claim the three points.
