Rangers – Celtic

Match analysis

Rangers host Celtic in what promises to be a stark contrast in form, with the Glasgow side sitting only 78th in the table on three points from a single win and a loss, while Celtic sit top with an immaculate 18 points from six victories. The gap in goal difference – Rangers’ modest 1‑1 compared with Celtic’s dominant 14‑3 – underlines the challenge for the home team, who have yet to secure a draw this season. Historically the Old Firm rivalry has often produced tight encounters, but Celtic’s perfect record this campaign suggests they will enter Ibrox as clear favourites. Rangers will need to overturn a season‑long slump to keep any hope of climbing out of the relegation zone.
