Brendan Rodgers has set up his Celtic side with a strong lineup for the highly anticipated Glasgow derby against Rangers at Celtic Park. The team features some of the club’s new signings, including Kasper Schmeichel in goal, who brings a wealth of experience to the side.
The defense is composed of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales, and Greg Taylor, providing a solid backline. In midfield, Celtic has the ever-reliable Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, and Paulo Bernardo, who will be crucial in controlling the tempo of the game.
Up front, the attacking trio of Nicolas Kuhn, Daizen Maeda, and Kyogo will be looking to exploit any weaknesses in the Rangers’ defense. Rodgers also has a strong bench, with players like Adam Idah and James Forrest available to come on if needed.
Celtic’s current two-point lead over Rangers means that a victory today could extend that margin to five points, putting them in a commanding position early in the season. Rodgers’ impressive record against Rangers, with only one loss out of 18 encounters, adds to the confidence surrounding his team going into this clash.
