Rangers and fierce rivals Celtic meet for the fourth time this season as the battle for the Scottish Premiership title intensifies at Ibrox on Sunday (kick-off: 12pm).
Both sides lost ground in the title race last week, handing league leaders Hearts the initiative. Danny Rohl’s men rescued a late 2-2 draw with basement side Livingston, while Celtic suffered their first home league defeat under manager Martin O’Neill this season, with a 2-1 reverse against Hibs.
Those results left both sides trailing Hearts by four and six points respectively, and the enormity of this weekend’s game in Govan can not be understated, with pundits claiming whichever side loses will be out of the running to win the title.
