For the latest installment of the Old Firm derby, Rangers have been forced to make a change as Nicolas Raskin is not in the squad for their visit to Celtic Park. The news emerged just before the team's departure, with the Belgian midfielder omitted from the traveling party, as confirmed by SkySports News.
Raskin has been a pivotal figure in Rangers' midfield this season, known for his energy and passing range. His absence leaves a gap in the engine room, and manager Philippe Clement will have to reconfigure his starting lineup. The decision could be tactical or due to fitness concerns, but no official reason has been given.
Celtic, meanwhile, will be looking to exploit any disruption in the Rangers ranks. Brendan Rodgers' side have been in formidable form at home, and the atmosphere at Celtic Park will be electric. The match is a crucial one in the Scottish Premiership title race, with both sets of fans aware of the implications.
The match kicks off at 12:00pm BST on Sunday, May 10, 2026, and is being broadcast live. In the absence of the live blog (currently unavailable), fans can catch the action on Sky Sports and follow updates via the app.
Raskin's absence is the major talking point, and all eyes will be on how Rangers cope without him. With the title on the line, every player on the pitch will need to step up.
