How to watch the Old Firm derby
Rangers and Celtic meet for the fifth and final time this season as the Old Firm foes go head-to-head at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday.
Celtic arrive at the home of their arch-rivals as champions after clinching the Scottish Premiership title last weekend with a 5-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice.
Brendan Rodgers’ side are 17 points clear at the top of the table and will secure a ninth domestic treble if they defeat Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final later this month.
They are, however, looking to avoid a third successive defeat in this fixture after losing their two previous meetings against Rangers - a 3-0 reverse in the New Year derby at Ibrox before the 3-2 loss at Parkhead in March.
A third straight victory over Celtic in the same season for the first time since 1996-97 would provide Rangers with some consolation amid a trophyless season which saw them sack manager Philippe Clement in February and replace him with interim manager Barry Ferguson.
A 2-2 draw at St Mirren last weekend was the seventh consecutive league match where Rangers have conceded two or more goals.
