Motherwell defender Bevis Mugabi returns from suspension following the midweek Europa League defeat by Hapoel Beer Sheva while Jake Carroll, Charles Dunne, Liam Donnelly and Scott Fox remain out. On-loan Livingston midfielder Robbie Crawford could make his debut.

Rangers are still without Joe Aribo, Nikola Katic and Kemar Roofe but Brandon Barker could return from a hamstring problem and Ryan Jack has resumed light training following a calf injury.

Motherwell defender Liam Grimshaw: "It's always a test against Rangers but they are the sort of games you want to play in. It's obviously a big help when the crowd are behind us but as professional footballers it's up to us to get our heads on it and create that tempo."

Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister: "Motherwell have changed their style in the last year or so, they are moving the ball very well. It will be tough as Fir Park is a tough place to go. It's a big game for us and we want to keep that [unbeaten] run going."

Did you know? Should Motherwell win, it will be the first time they have recorded three straight Premiership wins since December but the Steelmen's last league win over Rangers came in 2002, though they did defeat the Ibrox side in the 2017 League Cup semi-final.

Celtic wingers James Forrest and Mikey Johnston will be missing but defender Christopher Jullien returns and captain Scott Brown should be fit after being on the end of a heavy tackle against Riga in Thursday's Europa League win.

Hibernian are still without former Celtic midfielder Scott Allan because of a health issue while winger Jamie Murphy returns after being ineligible against parent club Rangers last weekend. Sean Mackie remains out while Fraser Murray has joined Dunfermline on loan for the season.

Celtic forward Mohamed Elyounoussi: "It's hard when you're sitting in the stand watching the game. Of course, like everyone else you want to play every game. But when you're not in the starting XI then you just want to contribute any way you can. So I'm trying to train hard and show that I deserve to play."

Hibernian midfielder Joe Newell: "We have had a good start and the result last week (drawing with Rangers) showed that we are a good team and we feel we should be up that end of the table. We are going into the Celtic game full of confidence."

Did you know? Celtic are unbeaten in 12 home league meetings with Hibernian and have won the past four.

Ross County are confident Connor Randall has suffered no lasting damage after limping off against St Johnstone last weekend. Billy Mckay is back in training while Ross Draper remains an injury doubt.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes will assess his side following Thursday's 1-0 Europa League defeat by Sporting in Lisbon. Dean Campbell, Sam Cosgrove, Michael Devlin and Matty Kennedy remain out.

Ross County forward Oli Shaw: "I've got myself in the team over the last couple of games and I'm hoping to stay there. As a striker, you obviously want to get off the mark as quickly as you can but, for me, if I'm helping the team in any way and we're getting three points at the end of it, that's the most important thing."

Aberdeen midfielder Lewis Ferguson: "We've no time to dwell on [losing to Sporting]. Ross County will be a different game. On Sunday, we've got the chance to react and hopefully we do that with three points."

Did you know? Ross County are looking for back-to-back wins against Aberdeen for the first time in seven years.
