Celtic host Rangers at Celtic Park in a Scottish Premiership Old Firm derby that carries serious weight at both ends of the table. The Glasgow rivals meet with the Championship Group standings tight and neither side able to afford a slip.

Celtic go into this fixture in the form of a team that has found its rhythm at exactly the right time. Martin O'Neill's side have won all five of their last five matches across all competitions, scoring 14 goals in the process. That run includes a 6-2 dismantling of St. Mirren in the FA Cup and back-to-back league wins over Falkirk and Hibernian. The Hoops sit third in the Premiership and second in the Championship Group.

O'Neill, 74, has drawn considerable attention for his handling of the squad since returning to Parkhead. His ability to galvanise players has been a talking point throughout the second half of the season, and Celtic's form suggests the dressing room is responding.

Rangers arrive at Celtic Park in a very different mood. Philippe Clement's side have lost their last two Premiership fixtures, going down 2-1 to Hearts and 3-2 to Motherwell in successive outings. Three wins from their last five games keep them within reach, but the away end will know their team needs a response.

The two clubs sit level on position in the Premiership table, both placed third, which adds a direct competitive edge to what is already the most charged fixture in Scottish football. Points here could shift the dynamic in the final weeks of the campaign.

Robbie Keane has been linked with the Celtic job on a permanent basis, with reports suggesting the club are weighing their managerial options for next season. O'Neill, for now, remains in charge and will be determined to send a statement into those discussions with a result against the old enemy.

Form

Celtic head into the Old Firm derby in outstanding form, winning all five of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 1-2 Premiership victory at Hibernian on May 3, and they also posted a 3-1 league win over Falkirk and a 6-2 cup victory over St. Mirren during that run. Celtic have scored 14 goals across those five games and conceded six, with a 1-0 league win over St. Mirren and a 1-2 away win at Dundee also featuring. Five consecutive wins represents a strong platform going into a derby.

Rangers have a more mixed recent record, winning three and losing two of their last five Premiership games. Their most recent result was a 2-1 defeat to Hearts on May 4, following a 3-2 loss to Motherwell the week before. Before those setbacks, Rangers had put together a strong sequence that included a 3-6 win at Falkirk and a 4-2 victory over Dundee United. They beat Aberdeen 4-1 in late March. Rangers have scored 14 goals across their last five matches but conceded nine, a defensive record that will concern the coaching staff.

Head-to-Head Record

The most recent meeting between Celtic and Rangers came on March 8, 2026, when the sides drew 0-0 in an FA Cup tie at Ibrox. Before that, a Premiership clash at the same venue on March 1 finished 2-2. Across the last five recorded head-to-head meetings, Celtic hold the stronger record, having won two of the five encounters. Rangers have not won any of the five matches, with the sides drawing three times and Celtic taking the other two. Celtic's wins came in a 1-3 Premiership victory at Celtic Park in January 2026 and a 3-1 League Cup win at home in November 2025.
