The Parkhead boss is full of belief in his team as he addressed the big game and what it will take to in.
Confident Brendan Rodgers believes Rangers will be dealing with the best version of Celtic as he counts down the minutes to a title blockbuster for the ages.
"I said it before, after the last time we played at Ibrox, this game was going to be crucial for us playing in front of our own supporters. I still feel exactly the same. The preparation is based around ourselves, but always respecting the opponent, what they might bring to the game, but how we play and, ultimately, our process.
"But it will always be about the team, there won't be one player who will have any greater importance or any greater burden to bear than the whole team. We'll be very connected in the game and that is how we always play." Rodgers believes the tigerish qualities shown during the display against Hearts were welcomed but believes hunting down the opposition is a non-negotiable for Celtic under his watch.
