Four changes for Celtic

Rangers manager Walter Smith named an unchanged side for the final Old Firm derby of the season at Ibrox.

His players were forced to fight back from behind three times to record a 3-3 draw with Hibernian last week but he kept the faith with the same XI.

Youngsters Scott Gallacher, Paul Emslie and Andrew Shinnie were named on the bench for a game which could see Rangers clinch second place in the Bank of Scotland Premier League. Dado Prso failed to recover from tonsilitis in time to appear.
