Celtic and Rangers face off for a seventh time in 2023 as the year’s final weekend of Scottish Premiership football kicks off in style.

The Hoops have been the dominant side across the year, beating their Old Firm rivals four times, including a Scottish Cup semi-final and Scottish League Cup final, but it does feel as though the balance may be shifting.

Rangers have been rejuvenated since the appointment of Philippe Clement in October and have already got their hands on silverware in 2023/24 courtesy of a 1-0 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup final earlier this month.

They are still playing catch up in the league but have a game in hand over the leaders while some Celtic slip ups have helped them close the gap in recent weeks.

There is little love lost between the two Old Firm rivals so festive cheer will be put to one side when they meet at Celtic Park in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Celtic v Rangers on TV and online.
