Celtic host Rangers at Celtic Park in Glasgow in a Scottish Premiership fixture that carries genuine weight for both clubs at this stage of the season.

Martin O'Neill's side come into this derby having lost their last two matches. A 3-0 League Cup defeat to Rangers was followed by a 3-1 Europa League loss to Ferencvaros, and the pressure on Celtic to respond on home soil is real.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor delivered a blunt verdict after the League Cup defeat, accusing his teammates of playing as individuals rather than a collective. O'Neill will demand a sharper, more cohesive performance from a squad that won the Premiership title last season.

Rangers arrive in good domestic form under Derek McInnes. They have won five of their last five Premiership matches and carry the confidence of that League Cup victory over Celtic just days ago.

Despite the weight of the occasion, O'Neill has pushed back on suggestions this is a must-win fixture, insisting it is too early in the campaign to attach season-defining significance to the result. Celtic sit first in the Premiership table, with Rangers second, so the leaders know a win would put meaningful distance between the sides.

Form

Celtic arrive in this fixture having won three and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-1 defeat to Ferencvaros in the Europa League, and before that they suffered a 3-0 loss to Rangers in the League Cup. On the positive side, Celtic's three wins in that run came in the Premiership, including a 1-0 victory at St. Johnstone and a 2-1 win over St. Mirren. Their domestic record across the period shows four wins from four league games, which underlines that their difficulties have come in cup and European football rather than the league.

Rangers have been in relentless domestic form, winning all five of their last five matches across competitions. Their most recent result was the 3-0 League Cup victory over Celtic, and they also claimed a 1-0 Premiership win over St. Mirren, beat Motherwell 1-0, and won away at both Falkirk and Aberdeen. McInnes's side have conceded just once across those five matches, a defensive record that reflects a team in strong collective shape.

Head-to-Head Record

The most recent meeting between these two clubs came on September 13, 2026, when Rangers beat Celtic 3-0 in the League Cup at Ibrox. Before that, Celtic won 3-1 at Celtic Park in a Premiership fixture on May 10, 2026. Across the last five head-to-head meetings, Celtic have won twice, Rangers have won twice, and one match ended in a draw, with the sides sharing a 2-2 Premiership draw on March 1, 2026.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
