The countdown to kick-off is on and some big calls await Philippe Clement.

It's all set to be an Old Firm classic with both Rangers and Celtic battling it out for the Scottish Premiership title.

Just a point separates the the Glasgow giants at the summit - with Philippe Clement's side sitting just behind the Hoops having played a game less. Rangers can move back to the summit if they earn their first win of the season over Celtic - and momentum will be with the Light Blues for the final run-in.

However - as he goes in search of his first win over Celtic as Ibrox boss - Clement has plenty of dilemmas to consider. Ridvan Yilmaz faces a late fitness check in order to make the game having emerged as the first-choice left-back. But if the Turkish international misses out, that leaves either Borna Barisic or versatile Dujon Sterling to fill in at left-back.

Clement also has long-term injury problems to consider - as well as potentially shaking things up.. Ryan Jack and Danilo remain out along with Oscar Cortes, who had surgery on a muscle injury. There are decisions all over the park when facing off against Celtic. Todd Cantwell has enjoyed a revival under Clement - but will he be handed a chance in the big one? Some fans felt the playmaker was found wanting leading the press at Parkhead with Tom Lawrence in the mix to come in for the showdown. Abdallah Sima also looks unlikely to play the full 90 minutes. So will he start at Ibrox?
