Rangers host Celtic in the final Old Firm of the season Saturday but who should start for each team at Ibrox?

Ange Postecoglou's side won the first league meeting between the clubs - 4-0 at Celtic Park - before a 2-2 draw at Ibrox followed in January in Michael Beale's first Old Firm as Rangers boss.

The following month, Celtic reclaimed the bragging rights as Kyogo Furuhashi's double saw them retain the Scottish League Cup with a 2-1 victory over their rivals at Hampden Park before a 3-2 victory at Parkhead in the league.

The Champions then ended Rangers' Scottish Cup title defence when they beat them 1-0 in the semi-final at Hampden Park on April 30.

While Celtic remain on course for a domestic treble, Beale's side have no hope of silverware with only the target ending the season with one victory over their fiercest rivals.

Who would you pick for you team to start in Glasgow's East End?

Pick your Rangers starting XI

The big question for Rangers fans is will Robby McCrorie keep his place in goal for Saturday's game?

Michael Beale handed the 25-year-old his first appearance of the season in last weekend's 1-0 win over Aberdeen at Ibrox.

The manager gave a number of fringe players an outing against the Dons with Ridvan Yilmaz, Rabbi Matondo and Ianis Hagi also starting the match.

With Alfredo Morelos' departure confirmed and Beale admitting the striker did not make "a positive difference" when he came on, would you feature the striker against Celtic?

Pick your Celtic starting XI

With Cameron Carter-Vickers' season over after knee surgery and Alistair Johnstone injured, would you continue with Anthony Ralston and Yuki Kobayashi in Celtic's defence?

Matt O'Riley started their title-winning match against Hearts last weekend, but should Aaron Mooy return for the Ibrox clash.

It is 30 goals this season for Kyogo Furuhashi but would you give Hyeon-Gyu Oh a start after he scored the second at Tynecastle Park?
