Rangers host Celtic in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon in the first Old Firm derby of 2025, with the visitors starting the year with a 14-point lead at the top of the table.
Celtic have dominated domestically so far this term, winning the League Cup against their old rivals last month, and a win today could well put the title out of Rangers’ reach.
Meanwhile, Rangers boss Philippe Clement is under pressure after his side’s draw to Motherwell handed Celtic a 14-point lead going into New Year’s Day, and though a win today would claw back some ground in the title race, another loss would put the Belgian in a very precarious position even at this stage of the season.
