Celtic FC vs Rangers FC: Old Firm derby prediction, kick-off time, TV channel, live stream, h2h results today

RangersScottish Premiership title triumph will taste all the sweeter as Steven Gerrard’s Gers celebrate their first game as champions with a trip to Old Firm rivals Celtic today.

Celtic have been unseated as champions for the first time in a decade, with Rangers’ return to the top of Scottish football a bitter pill to swallow. Gerrard’s side have been relentless this season, winning 28 of their 32 League games as well as going unbeaten to race to the title.

While Rangers’ success will be tough for Celtic to take, Sunday’s Old Firm derby represents the perfect opportunity to make a statement ahead of next season - and also ensure their rivals don’t go unbeaten this term.

Celtic vs Rangers prediction

2-2 draw.

Will there be a guard of honour?

Former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers had recently said on Sky Sports that his old club should show “humility and class” by applauding Gerrard’s men onto the pitch.

However, Celtic were not given a guard of honour at Ibrox in 2019 after clinching their eighth successive title - and interm boss John Kennedy has confirmed Rangers will not receive one on Sunday.
