Glasgow rivals clash again in pivotal Scottish Premiership title showdown

Celtic and Rangers collide once again today in a crucial contest at the Scottish Premiership summit.

While any Old Firm derby needs little added spice, the fact that the two Glasgow giants are still so close in the title race makes this particular meeting all the more important.

Brendan Rodgers and his Celtic side currently lead the way and sit three points ahead of the Gers with a much better goal difference.

The Bhoys are so far unbeaten against their eternal rivals this season but losing at home would give Rangers huge confidence going into the final two games of the campaign.

Here’s everything you need to know about today’s game.

Connor Goldson will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury while Leon Balogun is also a doubt after being forced off against Kilmarnock, which should mean a rare start for Ben Davies alongside John Souttar in defence.
