Celtic predicted starting XI vs Rangers if latest transfer rumours come true

How Celtic could line up against Rangers next weekend if transfer rumours come to fruition.

Celtic dropped their first points of the Scottish Premiership season on Saturday when they were held to a 0-0 draw against St Johnstone. Despite looking the more dominant side, the Hoops were unable to get a real hold on the game and will certainly feel disappointed they weren’t able to bank the win.

Brendan Rodgers admitted he thought the Saints “deserved something from the game” but the champions cannot afford to dwell. Up next is the first Old Firm derby of the season and they will need to bring their top performance when they travel to Ibrox to face Rangers.

There is still the small matter of the transfer window deadline day looming as well. There’s still time for Celtic to add to their ranks and there’s been some promising links over the last few days as well. So we’ve put together our predicted 11 to take on Rangers, including potential new signings ahead of next weekend.
