Celtic will be looking to get a win against the Rangers this weekend at Parkhead. A victory in this Glasgow Derby could all but end the title race. It would see the Hoops go twelve points clear of Michael Beale’s team with just seven league games remaining. Of course, they cannot make the mistake of taking their opponents lightly.

Since the arrival of Beale, the Rangers have not lose in the league. And they have tasted defeat only once, that was against Celtic in the Scottish League Cup final.

One worry that Celtic have heading into the big game is that a number of their key players are struggling with injury problems. One of them is Aaron Mooy. But there seems to be some good news regarding his situation.

In the latest Lennoxtown Unfiltered video, Mooy is one of the first players to walk onto the training pitch. That would give hope to the Celtic fans that he would be fit enough to feature against the Rangers this weekend.

Celtic have done a wonderful job with their scouting in recent times. And the decision to sign Mooy was one of their masterstrokes for sure.

The Australian has proven to be one of their best performers this season. And without him in the team, they simply do not look the same. Thus, if he is available to face the Rangers then that would be a massive boost for the club for sure.

Of course, they have other injury issues at the moment as well and one would be hoping that the majority of them are fit for the big game at the weekend. It remains to be seen what the situation of players like Greg Taylor and Reo Hatate is over the coming days.
