Martin O\u2019Neill\u2019s Celtic squad remains in the hunt for a 56th all-time Premiership title and a victory over Glasgow rivals Rangers would set them up nicely to achieve that goal. <\/p>\n

Auston Trusty <\/strong>has remained a stalwart in the Celtic backline this spring as the Hoops remain three points back of league-leading Hearts. Trusty has helped Celtic win its last five matches across all competitions, giving them a strong run of confidence ahead of the final stretch of the league campaign. <\/p>\n

The 27-year-old has already equaled his appearance total from all of last season and could very well eclipse the 40-mark by May\u2019s end. Trusty has rarely put a foot wrong over the last few months, leading by example on the defensive side of the field. <\/p>\n

A victory for Celtic would keep them on the verge of potentially leapfrogging Hearts in the two clubs\u2019 head-to-head showdown on May 16. However, a loss to Rangers could not only damage their title aspirations but also keep Danny Rohl\u2019s men alive heading into the final week. <\/p>\n

In England, Antonee Robinson<\/strong> and Tyler<\/strong> Adams<\/strong> go head-to-head in Premier League play. Brenden<\/strong> Aaronson<\/strong> and Leeds United close out the weekend at Tottenham. Aidan Morris<\/strong> and Middlesbrough take on Southampton in their promotion playoff first leg. Sam Coffey <\/strong>and Alyssa Thompson<\/strong> square off in Women\u2019s FA Cup action.<\/p>\n

In Germany, Joe Scally<\/strong> and Borussia Moenchengladbach take on Augsburg. Kevin Paredes <\/strong>and Wolfsburg host Bayern Munich. Damion Downs<\/strong> and Hamburg host Freiburg.<\/p>\n

In Italy, Christian Pulisic<\/strong> seeks to end his goal-less drought when AC Milan hosts Atalanta. Weston<\/strong> McKennie<\/strong> and Juventus take a trip to Lecce seeking to hang onto their top-four spot.<\/p>\n

In Spain, Johnny Cardoso<\/strong> and Atletico Madrid host Celta Vigo in La Liga action. Alex Freeman <\/strong>seeks to retain his starting spot when Villarreal visits Mallorca.<\/p>\n

In France, Tim Weah <\/strong>and Marseille visit Le Havre while Mark McKenzie<\/strong> and Toulouse host Lyon. Lily<\/strong> Yohannes<\/strong> and Lyon take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe De France Feminine Final.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Alex Zendejas<\/strong> and Club America visit Pumas UNAM in the Liga MX Playoffs. Rokas<\/strong> Pukstas<\/strong> and Hajduk Split travel to Dinamo Zagreb. Bryan Reynolds<\/strong> and Westerlo take on Genk with a European spot still up for grabs. Erik Palmer-Brown<\/strong> and Panathinaikos visit AEK Athens in Greek Super League action. George<\/strong> Bello<\/strong>, Sam Adeniran <\/strong>and LASK take on Red Bull Salzburg with the league title race wide open.<\/p>\n
