Celtic vs Rangers (20 September 2026, Scottish Premiership): match facts, form and head-to-head

Celtic host Rangers in what promises to be a one‑sided affair, with the Glasgow giants perched atop the table on 18 points after six flawless victories, boasting a 14‑3 goal tally. Rangers, languishing in 78th place with just three points from a solitary win and a 1‑1 record, will need a miracle to bridge the 15‑point gap. The stark contrast in form – Celtic unbeaten and scoring at a rate of over two goals per game, versus Rangers’ meagre single goal all season – underscores the difficulty of the challenge for the visitors. Historically, the Old Firm rivalry has produced close contests, but the current statistics suggest Celtic are set to dominate the encounter.
