Rangers vs Celtic: TV channel, live stream & kick-off time

Rangers and Celtic go head-to-head in their first derby meeting of the season this weekend.

The Scottish Premiership tie will be hosted at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday.

Russell Martin will have his first experience of a derby contest between the clubs in the dugout, having been backed by Rangers chiefs after the heavy defeat in midweek.

The Ibrox boss is set to remain in the dugout for this weekend despite fan fury over his management of the side, following the 9-1 aggregate loss to Club Brugge in the Champions League.

Brendan Rodgers' side head to Ibrox off the back of an exit from the Champions League, too, a penalty shoot-out loss to Kazakh side Kairat Almaty.

Tensions amongst Celtic supporters have been raised by the lack of transfer activity, with protests made against those in the boardroom over the failure to qualify for the league phase of the Champions League this term.

In the league, Celtic have won all three of their matches so far. Rangers, meanwhile, have drawn all three of their matches to this point, meaning a gap of six points heading into the derby fixture.
