Celtic v Rangers in crucial Premiership Old Firm derby

A titanic tussle in the title race awaits at Parkhead as Celtic and Rangers collide in the Old Firm derby.

Both Glasgow sides are vying to keep pace with Premiership leaders Hearts, who sit four points clear of champions Celtic, with kick-off at midday.

It comes after the Jambos – chasing their first Scottish Premiership title since 1960 – scraped a draw against Motherwell on Saturday.

Celtic have lost eight league games this season, and no side has ever won the crown with that many losses.

Three, or technically four, managerial stints later, and O’Neill has a task arguably bigger than any he faced in his trophy-laden first spell at Parkhead.

Yet in the last ten games, Celtic are the form team in the league and have the same number of points as Hearts on 22, but more goals.

The Hoops have not beaten Hearts or Rangers in the league this season and effectively need to beat both to win the title.

It will be no mean feat with Rangers at Parkhead on Sunday, followed by a tough test at Fir Park, before they meet Hearts.

Rangers were the favourites going into the split have faltered with two defeats to Motherwell and now Hearts, putting them all but out of the title race.

Gers boss Danny Rohl admitted his team are now in “a really difficult position” but says there are nine points to play for.

They haven’t lost to Celtic in the league this season, and one of Rohl’s best triumphs was a 3-1 win on Celtic’s turf in January.

After the Old Firm, Rangers face Hibs at home before Falkirk away on the final day.
