BRENDAN RODGERS takes his Celtic players to Ibrox this afternoon with the fourth successive title already in the bag after the 5-0 victory over Dundee Unite at Tannadice last weekend.
It’s more about pride than points on this occasion, but the champions will be eager to bring a halt to a two-game losing sequence in the fixture.
The Hoops, of course, powered to a 3-0 success when the teams first met at Parkhead in September last year with Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and captain Callum McGregor on target.
