Celtic vs Rangers on TV: Channel, live stream and kick-off details for crunch Old Firm derby clash

Celtic and Rangers will do battle for the first time since the Viaplay Cup final in February, in a game that is set to have major implications on the league title.

It was Ange Postecoglou's men who were victorious in capturing the first piece of silverware up for grabs at Hampden with Kyogo Furuhashi's double handing Michael Beale his first loss as Rangers boss. That came off the back of a thrilling 2-2 draw at Ibrox in January and now Glasgow's big two will go head-to-head again with the Light Blues trailing their rivals by nine points.

Celtic are eyeing a potential domestic Treble and will have a rampant Celtic Park - with only Hoops fans in - behind them and face the prospect of potentially going twelve points clear. For Beale's men the mandate is to keep their title hopes alive in a do-or-die game.
