Celtic host Rangers in the Old Firm derby today, looking to take another huge step towards their latest Scottish Premiership title triumph.
Ange Postecoglou’s side currently sit nine points clear of their fiercest rivals and are on a run of 15 straight wins across all competitions. The last time they dropped points was at Ibrox in January, when Kyogo Furuhashi rescued a draw for Celtic late on.
That run includes the Scottish League Cup final victory over Rangers in February, and a treble-winning season is very much still on the cards. The two rivals meet later this month in the Scottish Cup semi-finals.

Even victory here is unlikely to be enough for Rangers to halt Celtic’s title charge, but it will at least lay down a marker ahead of that next cup clash.
Date, kick-off time and venue

Celtic vs Rangers prediction
It is set up to be a very special season for Celtic, regardless of what happens on Saturday afternoon, but Postecoglou’s side look well capable of inflicting more misery on their rivals.
The goals continue to flow for them, and while this is an obvious step up in opposition, it would be a surprise if they did not deliver in front of their home fans and move 12 points clear at the top.
Celtic to win, 3-1.
