One of the most intense fixtures in world football returns as Celtic host Rangers in a huge Old Firm derby at Celtic Park. The title race in the Scottish Premiership may be all-but over but the 445th meeting between these two Scottish rivals matters.
Away fans are back at Old Firm games for first time since 2023 which adds another level of spice on what is a big day for both clubs. Celtic are potentially three games away from being crowned champions again, they are 16 points clear of Rangers and came out on top on penalties when the sides met in the League Cup final in December.
But they face a Rangers side buoyed by their dramatic penalty shootout win over Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday. Interim Rangers head coach Barry Ferguson takes charge of his first Old Firm clash and is eyeing an upset. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
