Willie Collum will take charge of Saturday's vital Old Firm clash at Celtic Park.

The experienced whistler will be the man in the middle with Celtic looking to take a step closer to the Premiership title with a win.

However, a win for Philippe Clement's Rangers would move them level on points with their rivals with two league games left to play.

Collum will be assisted David McGeachie and Ross Macleod with Don Robertson as the fourth official.

Steven McLean will be overseeing things as the VAR from Clydesdale House - assisted by Graeme Stewart.

The last clash between the sides threw up a classic encounter at Ibrox with a 3-3 draw.

Daizen Maeda's strike put Celtic ahead just 21 seconds into the game with Matt O'Riley doubling their lead from the spot before half time.

Rangers drew back level after the break with a James Tavernier penalty and a goal from substitute Abdallah Sima.

Adam Idah restored the lead for Brendan Rodgers' side instantly but they were unable to hold onto it.

Rabbi Matondo's injury time strike - voted PFA Goal of the Season this week - meant the points were shared.
