Celtic v Rangers

Celtic vs Rangers Preview

The Old Firm clash will also be played at Celtic Park on Sunday lunchtime as the runaway Scottish Premiership league leaders, Celtic, play host to distant second placed arch-rivals, Rangers, at Celtic Park.

The hosts will head into this upcoming clash on the back of two comprehensive wins on the trot, while Rangers have slipped to two defeats within their last three games overall in the domestic top flight.

Celtic have responded to their recent 2-1 loss away from home at Hibernian with two emphatic victories gained over Aberdeen 5-1 and St Mirren 5-2 respectively which has helped Brendan Rodger's side to a very healthy looking 16-point lead at the top of the Premiership table ahead of this weekend's action.

Celtic have been in supreme form on home soil at Celtic Park as The Hoops have registered 13 wins within their 14 home games to date this season and the hosts are unbeaten overall in their own backyard, so Rangers will be facing a daunting prospect here on Sunday.

The bigger picture shows Celtic have been dealt just the two losses from their previous 38 matches overall in the Scottish Premiership, both of which were dealt out to Brendan Rodgers' side on their travels whilst also picking up no fewer than 32 victories in the process.

Celtic have won their last 10 home games on the trot, keeping nine clean sheets along the way.

Rangers have slipped to recent losses at the hands of St Mirren and Motherwell which have dented The Gers' outside hopes of catching up with their old rivals Celtic but in truth, the visitors have been a significant margin below their upcoming opponents throughout this season's campaign.

Overall results have actually not been that bad for Rangers as the visitors have suffered just three defeats within their previous 19 matches whilst also collecting 12 wins within this period as well, so if Rangers were playing any other team, they would stand a decent chance of claiming all three points here!

Rangers have let themselves down though away from home as The Gers have registered four wins, been involved in four draws but have also been handed four defeats as well within their 14 outings on the road which suggests the visitors could be in for another rough ride on their travels this Sunday.

The bigger picture shows Rangers have managed to capture just seven wins from their last 19 away games in the Scottish top flight along with being handed six defeats, and their recent record at Celtic Park has been pretty poor.

Celtic v Rangers Verdict

Rangers may have beaten Celtic 3-0 in their last meeting at Ibrox but Celtic have won each of the last seven encounters on the trot at Celtic Park.
