KYOGO FURUHASHI has the Ibrox side in his sights as he leads the attack at Parkhead this afternoon.
The 26-goal striker gets the nod from Ange Postecoglou in a team that sees Greg Taylor at left-back and Aaron Mooy and Matt O’Riley beside Callum McGregor in midfield.
Furuhashi has been given the opportunity of a hat-trick against the Govan outfit after scoring against them in the 2-2 draw at Ibrox at the start of January and then claiming a double in the Viaplay League Cup success in February.
A repeat in the east end of Glasgow on a sunny Easter Saturday will help to shoot the champions to a 13-point advantage with seven games left to play.
TEAM: Hart; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor; Mooy, McGregor, O’Riley; Jota, Kyogo, Maeda. Subs: Bain, Haksabanovic, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Iwata, Bernabei, Welsh, Vata.
