17 pundits predict Celtic vs Rangers as boss sacking theory emerges from title race battle of epic proportions

Derby day is almost upon Glasgow once more as Celtic take on Rangers.

There will be no love lost in the fourth and final Old Firm of the season when Celtic face off against Rangers.

The momentum pendulum appears to have swung towards the weekend hosts at Parkhead, who hold a three-point advantage at the top of the league over Rangers. Philippe Clement’s side were smelling blood last time out in this fixture but a draw, then a defeat to Ross County and stalemate with Dundee, has left title hopes in flux.

Now a Celtic win in Glasgow’s east-end would all but seal glory for boss Brendan Rodgers, with a six-point lead and better goal difference with two games to go. The pundits have had their say on which way this going.

Multiple key factors are at play and decisive verdicts will be delivered - with one even going as far as rolling out the sacking theories ahead of next season. Here are what 17 pundits think of the weekend clash at Celtic Park.
