Celtic vs Rangers
Match Preview
The first Old Firm clash of the season lands with Celtic sitting pretty atop the Premiership on a perfect record, while Rangers have fought back from a stumbling start and now sit a handful of points adrift. Bragging rights are always at stake, but with the title race wide open this early, three points here could set the tone for the campaign.
Celtic have won every league match so far, with Camilo Durán leading the scoring charts and support from Benjamin Nygren and Kasper Høgh. Rangers opened with a draw against Dundee United and a defeat to Hibernian, but have since rattled off a string of wins behind captain Lawrence Shankland. Historically, the derby is razor-thin: across 449 meetings Rangers hold a narrow edge of 172 wins to Celtic's 171, with 106 draws — a rivalry where reputation rarely dictates results.
Expect a tight, cagey opener with both sides wary of conceding first. Our prediction: 2-1
