Celtic and Rangers renew rivalries for the second time in 2021/22 with a Scottish Premiership clash live on Sky Sports this evening.

The Old Firm derby continues to be a tightly-contested affair, though it’s Rangers who have the edge this season.

They triumphed 1-0 in August under Steven Gerrard’s reign, now Giovanni van Bronckhorst will hope to emulate his predecessor in his first taste of the iconic showdown.

Celtic are in stronger form having won their last four top flight games in a row, narrowing the gap behind Rangers to just two points.

Rangers have drawn two of their last three but remain an incredibly tough nut to crack with just one Premiership defeat in 23 games so far this season.

Our prediction: Celtic v Rangers

This is going to be close. Celtic take stronger form into this one, but it’s marginal. And when derby day comes around, rational logic tends to sail out of the window.

Rangers have got the better of Celtic lately, and will fancy their chances of going to Celtic Park and coming away undefeated.

A draw benefits Rangers more than their Glaswegian rivals. Expect them to dig deep and aim to grind out a point that would keep Celtic below them.

Our prediction: Celtic 1-1 Rangers (5/1 at bet365)
