Celtic and Rangers lock horns in a key Old Firm battle in the Scottish Premiership title race. The Bhoys are three points clear of the Gers with three games to play and Rangers can ill-afford to drop points at their rivals on Saturday.
Celtic have won their last three home league meetings with Rangers as they look to claim a 54th league title and will fancy their chances of all-but ending the latter’s title hopes. Rangers have struggled on their travels in recent weeks too having won just two of their last five away matches.
That hardly bodes well when they make the short trip across Glasgow to take on a Celtic side that is unbeaten in 10 at home, winning nine.
Brendan Rodgers has nigh-on a full squad available for selection for Saturday’s Old Firm with just midfielder James McCarthy the only player absent for the Bhoys. The 33-year-old is yet to make a league appearance for Celtic this season, so his absence isn’t a huge blow.
Conversely, opposite number Philippe Clement has a number of concerns for this key Old Firm, with Ryan Jack, Oscar Cortes, and Danilo sidelined. Abdallah Sima, Conor Goldson, and Rabbi Matondo are all doubts, and Clement will hope to have the former available for selection on Saturday.
What time does the Old Firm kick off?
Celtic’s welcome of Rangers will kick off at 12:30pm (GMT) on Saturday 11th May 2024.
Is the Old Firm on TV?
Yes, the upcoming Old Firm will be shown on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event. Sky users can also watch via the Sky Go app.
