Brendan Rodgers suffered his first and only defeat in 13 derby games against Rangers in his final match against Celtic's fierce rivals at Ibrox.
And the Irishman won't have to wait long to return to Govan after returning as Hoops boss. The champions cross the River Clyde on matchday four of the 2023/24 Scottish Premiership campaign with the Sky TV cameras showing the match on Sunday, September 3 (kick off 12 noon).
Celtic host their rivals at Parkhead on Saturday, December 30 in a move from the traditional Ne'erday Old Firm derby slot. And the final derby before the split is scheduled to take place at Ibrox on Saturday, April 6 - the penultimate fixture before the top flight breaks into two. Michael Beale will be hoping for a better record in the fixture than in his early days as Rangers boss as he failed to get the better of Celtic in four meetings before winning the fifth and final game 3-0 at Ibrox, albeit the Hoops had already wrapped up the title.
