Rangers v Celtic injury news: 10 out + 1 doubt, McInnes and O'Neill missing key players for Ibrox cup showdown

Rangers and Celtic will renew their fierce rivalry on Sunday as the Glasgow giants meet at Ibrox in Sunday’s Premier Sports Cup quarter-final with a place in the last four at stake.

The latest derby showdown arrives with both clubs looking to make a statement after difficult European campaigns. Rangers were knocked out by Jablonec, while Celtic suffered a dramatic collapse against LASK, making domestic silverware even more important for both sides.

For Rangers boss Derek McInnes, this will be his first taste of the Old Firm rivalry in the Ibrox dugout. His side have shown signs of building momentum after racking up a string of wins, but they will need to produce a disciplined performance against an opponent that has started the domestic season strongly.

Celtic, meanwhile, head into the contest with a perfect league record after edging past St Johnstone in midweek. Martin O'Neill made several changes for that slender victory, with Mika Baur scoring the only goal, allowing key players to be rested ahead of this weekend’s showdown.
