Rangers vs Celtic: Old Firm Preview

Rarely have we approached an Old Firm derby with so much at stake. Usually, one of Rangers or Celtic would have already pulled clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, but this season there’s a new challenger in town: Hearts.

The Jam Tarts sit atop the table, holding a four-point and six-point advantage over Rangers and Celtic respectively, leaving little room for error.

Rangers have fought back admirably from a disastrous start to the season, going unbeaten in the league since mid-December. Yet, too many draws have left them vulnerable, and three points at home against their fiercest rivals is non-negotiable.

Celtic, meanwhile, have paid the price for their slip-ups in the latter stages of 2025.

Last Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Hibernian has left them in a even more precarious position, and victory at Ibrox is essential. Martin O’Neill knows a loss here could leave the title race almost out of reach.

Expect fireworks. Expect drama. This promises to be one of the most thrilling Old Firm derbies in years with a win required for both sides.
