Celtics manager Brendan Rogers will host the Rangers on Saturday with a three-point advantage, and a superior goal difference.
A victory would give the Celtics a six-point lead with two games to play – and a goal difference at least nine better than Philippe Clement’s side.
While Rangers faltered with a draw and a defeat following the 3-3 Old Firm draw in early April, Celtic have won their past three games to gain back their control on the title race.
Rogers was content with the energy shown within their 3-0 victory, against the third placed Heart of Midlothian.
Rogers is aware of Kyogo Furuhashi’s excellent goal scoring ability but has stated that; “One player will not bear the burden.”
“His two goals at the weekend showed quick anticipation – where the ball is going to go, he’s so alive.
“The second one was a great pass by Matt O’Riley, and he did what he does best – play off the shoulder of the defender, his timing was perfect to be onside and he finished it really, really well.”
Rodgers knows there will be a raucous atmosphere at Celtic Park on Saturday and has emphasised how much it can help his players.
“It should be a great occasion, and we look forward to it.”
