Will McGregor be main man in midfield?

We asked you who will be Celtic's key players as they look to take a huge step towards the title when Rangers are the visitors on Saturday.

Here's what some of you had to say:

Joe: Daizen Maeda is a machine, even at 80% fit he should be in alongside Kyogo Furuhashi & James Forrest. Midfield is back to its strongest, the game will be won in there with Callum McGregor dictating play whilst Matt O’Riley & Reo Hatate open Rangers up. Still frail at the back at times even with Cameron Carter-Vickers fully fit, but I see 3-1 Celtic & a title party to follow.

Dave: For me, the front six of Celtic is better than that of Rangers. If they turn up like they did last weekend then it’ll be a Celtic win.

Anon: McGregor will run the midfield and that's where Celtic will win the game.

Benny: How both defences cope will be the biggest deciding factor for me. Celtic can be suspect to cross balls and Rangers can get caught flat with players able to get in behind. Whoever controls midfield will have a big say too. Hopefully Kyogo continues his scoring run and Celtic come out on top.

Christopher: We have always started really strong against them this season, but have failed to continue that feat come the second half. Our middle three are as close to world class as we can get. Maeda is a full-back's nightmare, and I'm always confident with Carter-Vickers at the back. As always, you would be a fool to write off the wee man up top.

Patrick: This game will be decided down Celtic's left wing. Maeda v Tavernier & Tavernier v Taylor - ironically Tavernier is the Rangers' strongest and weakest link. Celtic need to make sure the officials don't have a say in the game. We also need to use Kyogo effectively, like against Hearts at the weekend.

Gordy: If Maeda is fully fit he could have a big impact, but I believe we will win the game in midfield with McGregor, Hatate and O'Riley. Kyogo also comes alive in these games and will score. I am very confident we will have too much firepower for our rivals and a win will effectively make us champs.
