Rangers vs Celtic LIVE: Old Firm score and updates as visitors name unchanged team


Rangers take on Celtic today (Getty Images)

Rangers host Celtic in an Old Firm clash that could potentially decide a thrilling Premiership title race. Celtic have won 11 of the last 12 titles and lead Rangers by a point, but the Ibrox side hold a game in hand and have been in superb form under Philippe Clement since a 2-0 defeat at Celtic Park back in December.

Celtic also won 1-0 at Ibrox in September – against previous Rangers boss Michael Beale – but Brendan Rodgers’ side have since battled through injuries as their rivals have closed the gap. There will be one more Old Firm to play towards the end of the season, following the Premiership split.

However a title race that has already contained plenty of twists and turns could yet have a few more in store.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor has a “very good chance” of facing Rangers but will not be risked on Livingston’s artificial surface.

Manager Brendan Rodgers will delay McGregor’s comeback until after Sunday’s cinch Premiership contest at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

The midfielder has been troubled by Achilles pain and has not featured since coming off at half-time during Celtic’s 7-1 win over Dundee on February 28.

Rangers and Celtic renew hostilities in a crucial edition of the Old Firm derby with the two sides vying for top spot in the Scottish Premiership.

Just a point separates the Glasgow rivals in first and second, with Rangers, who have a game in hand, able to move top with a home victory.

Brendan Rodgers’ visitors have won both previous meetings this season, though, and will know that a win at Ibrox would put them in a strong position to retain their crown.
