Rangers will meet the best version of Celtic this weekend.

That's the message from Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers.

The Northern Irishman insists his team is more-or-less at full strength as they have their sights firmly set on retaining the Premiership title.

A win against their arch-Glasgow rivals would all but see them over the line. It would open up a six-point gap on Rangers with just two games of the season left to play.

And with injuries now cleared up, with Daizen Maeda back involved in the starting XI, Rodgers has vowed that Rangers will feel their strength. 

Speaking to Celtic TV, he said: "It was a very good performance, I felt in the game. We came through it really well. We'll have a good preparation this week and really look forward to the game.

"It's important each day to just look after the details in the game. Focusing on our own performance. It's obviously the last home game for us (against Rangers).

"I said it before, after the last time we played at Ibrox, this game was going to be crucial for us playing in front of our own supporters. I still feel exactly the same. The preparation is based around ourselves, but always respecting the opponent, what they might bring to the game, but how we play and, ultimately, our process.

"I don't think there is any doubt (Celtic are ready), we'll arrive into this weekend's game and this will probably be the best version of the team that I've had since I've been here (in the second spell). When you look at the injuries we've had, right the way though, the disruptions, it felt like at the weekend was about there, virtually, in player availability and where the team is at. And in terms of fitness as well.

"I think after another good week of work and concentration on the training field, we'll arrive on Saturday as good a place as we have been all season."
