It’s the big one on Sunday as one of the most anticipated Old Firm derby clashes is set to have a huge bearing on the Scottish Premiership title race.
Rangers and Celtic are separated by just a point at the summit of the league with the Hoops holding a slight advantage at the moment.
But Gers have a game in hand against Dundee this coming week after the originally scheduled fixture was called off due to a waterlogged Dens Park pitch.
It’s an absolutely massive week for Philippe Clement‘s side because with the space of four days, Rangers could be five points clear of Celtic with just six games to go.
So can the Ibrox side better their Old Firm record against Celtic by clinching a 170th derby victory on Sunday and take a gigantic leap towards Scottish top-flight title number 56?
