Celtic vs Rangers LIVE: Old Firm latest score, match stream, goal updates and highlights
A week on from their last meeting, Celtic and Rangers renew their rivalry in a quick-fire Old Firm double-header. At Ibrox seven days ago, hosts Rangers wiped the floor with their fiercest rivals in a 3-0 win, sailing into the Scottish League Cup semi-finals at the same time.
That result ended Celtic’s perfect start to the domestic season, and they followed it up with another humbling result in Europe - a 3-1 home loss to Ferencvaros - which has become something of a calling card for the club. So, Martin O’Neill has a big job on his hands to avoid a third dismal defeat in a week.
Rangers have had the week off since seeing off Celtic, a result which changed the mood around the club and Derek McInnes. But with the league the main focus for both these teams, McInnes & Co. must make sure that last week wasn’t a flash in the pan.
