Celtic bid to go 15 points clear

Under-pressure Rangers manager Alex McLeish axed goalkeeper Stefan Klos in favour of Ronald Waterreus at Celtic Park.

The German had played just two matches after a serious knee injury but his own goal in the CIS Insurance Cup tie last week cost dearly as the Dutchman returned to the starting line-up.

Marvin Andrews, Francis Jeffers and Brahim Hemdani also came in for Steven Thompson, Julien Rodriguez and Olivier Bernard.

Celtic would go 15 points clear of their arch-rivals in the Bank of Scotland Premier League with victory.

Hoops manager Gordon Strachan named an unchanged line-up to the side which beat Rangers in the CIS Cup.
