Both sides will be looking to win the game

Celtic host Rangers at Celtic Park in the Old Firm Derby in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday in what will be a crucial clash in the title race.

Celtic are currently top of the table, six points ahead of Rangers in second. Ange PostecogSundayide have been in strong form of late, having won seven of their last ten games across all competitions. They will look to extend their lead at the top of the table with a win against Rangers on Sunday.

Rangers will know that they will have to win the game in order to keep the title race alive. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side will be going into the game off the back of a 1-0 loss against RB Leipzig in the Europa League. They will hope to bounce back with a win against Celtic on Sunday.

Both sides will be looking to win the derby and that should make for an enthralling contest.
