GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST last night swiped back at calls to postpone next month's Old Firm clash as he insisted both clubs should get on with it like Covid-hit Rangers did in August.
The champions and Celtic could be missing key men for the February 2 showdown due to a fixture clash with vital international clashes around the globe.
Rangers are sweating on Nigeria playmaker Joe Aribo making a run to the latter stages of the Africa Cup of Nations, while Jamaican Kemar Roofe and Colombia's Alfredo Morelos are also in the running for World Cup qualifying action.
Meanwhile, the Hoops' four Japanese recruits Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda, Yosuke Ideguchi and Reo Hatate are also vying for call-ups, as are Aussie Tom Rogic and USA stopper Cameron Carter-Vickers.
SPFL rules allow any club missing three players due to international duty to request a call off.
