Celtic have topped the division for seven consecutive seasons before this campaign, and a win would give them a 13 point lead at the summit.
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers look destined to end the season without a trophy, and a trip to the league leaders looks daunting.
However, James Tavernier has handed fans a reason to be positive ahead of the Old Firm derby, and revealed that he and his team mates are full of encouragement.
He said: “It is an Old Firm derby so it speaks for itself but the boys can’t wait to go there on Sunday.

Rangers’ 1-0 win at Ibrox in December was their first Old Firm triumph in 14 fixtures.
Although Tavernier’s side have slipped out of title contention, he is keen to replicate the feeling of their last clash.
He added: “To do it at Ibrox was a special moment but Sunday is going to be different, we go to their place and hopefully we can replicate.
“Even from the start of the season our aim was to go into every single game and try and win it.
